I am wary of recommending extreme interventions to people without having a lot more context of their situation
Fwiw I think your recommendation just puts steroids onto my radar, and I still feel fully responsible for researching the associated risks. I think it’s fine to push risky interventions, even to push them really hard, fram ng them as a way for people to get something they really care about.
I think you can reasonably recommended testosterone and expect somebody to encounter the appropriate warnings on their way to acquire them.
But also to add some color on recommendations here. The two people that I shot down on steroid usage IRL were about to take trenbolone, which is a truly terrible idea. For attractiveness purposes, cycling a medical dosage of anavar (i.e. 2.5 mg daily) is more than sufficient. For context, that’s a dose that is anywhere from a fourth to a fiftieth of what athletes and bodybuilders take. This is not going to destroy your fertility, and is not going to add significant cardiovascular risk as far as I can tell.

Yes I was hoping for this sort of reaction.
