Confusion on what causes Deca Dick

[5x10]

Heres where Im at, maybe you guys can help clear this up for me

deca is a test derivative, very much like test,gives alot of the same results as test but less androgenic(some reports i read say that its about 20% as androgenic as test)
with that being said, if you are taking lets say, 400mgs a week of deca, than that would have the same comparable androgenic effects as aprox 80mgs of test(.2 x 400) which is basically the same amount that the body produces throughout the week for non roid users
so based on androgenic effects alone, it would be safe to assume that the androgenic effects of 400mgs of deca should give you the same sex drive of someone not on roids?

so then, it must be the progesterone(or prolactin build up) that causes deca? if thats the case, than whats the point of adding test as the test will not lower the progesterone in your body and not help the overall cause of deca dick

hope you guys can see where im confused

because you feel friggin awesome on test and all steroids shut you down so does test even more then others but it replaces whatever your body isn't at the time so everything works fine and there are ways to combat progesterone just as there is estrogen do a lil more reasearch

i understand how to combat deca dick, but assuming one isnt sensitve to prolactin/progesterone, why couldnt deca increase your sex drive as its a test derivative?

because it is modified and no longer acts like test in that regard

the just of it is that progesterone kills libido so in that regard its already on a bad note. even if you take precautions its something that is gonna have an effect on your body in somewhat of a negative way. second is the fact that testosterone is the masculin male sex hormone. more specific is that androgens are responsible for masculin characteristics and sex drive. deca has a super low level of androgens so when your running a deca only cycle you have really low level of androgen going. the third thing is that progestins shut you down hard. they shut you down through multiple means including some that testosterone based substances do not have an effect on. so add the three and thats no androgens for sex drive high progesterone which kills sex drive and hard shutdown which means it kills you natty test levels quicker and is harder to recover from at the end of the cycle. I think deca is a tricky one and honestly is a steroid i avoid for these reasons. not to mention its recommended to run it a little longer to get good results so thats even more shutdown.
