I read in body building forums that those who are on testosterone take cabergolin to keep their male breast from changing too much. Some of them said it made them more sexually active than before. They got horny more often and the refractory period was reduced. When I read about caber, I found out it was given to Parkinson patients and that one of it main side effects was that people were more inclined to gamble and have sex.

Interesting, anecdotally testosterone therapy (even unnaturally super high levels) tends to counteract my ADHD impulsiveness and the obsessive or prurient behaviors driven by dopamine reuptake inhibitors like amphetamine. Because of the descriptions of dopamine agonists, I suspect pramipexole and cabergolin have a much strong effect than DRI's. But maybe I've just lived with DRI's for so long that I can mitigate/resist the effects somewhat better than a person who just started on them in their middle age. Based on personal experimentation I also suspect the elevated estrogen from testosterone replacement is largely responsible for the reduction in dopamine-driven behaviors. I tend to do best overall with estradiol on the high side of normal. When estrogens are low I get far more compulsive behaviors shadowing those in TFA, even in the absence of dopamine related pharmaceuticals.
