Because testosterone affects everything, including the heart and other organs, potentially causing serious problems down the line. SARMs only effect skeletal muscle tissue, and so it is likely safer in the long run. Obviously more research is needed on long term effect, but this is primarily why people are using them.

That's not necessarily true, certain SARMs have high liver toxicity, and as I mentioned, /all/ SARMs suppress your natural Testosterone production, meaning you may need other drugs afterwards to be able to bounce back, and you will feel like shit during your SARMs-only cycle when your T levels are very low, I'd say liver toxicity and destroying your natural hormone production are serious problems as well, I feel like the main reason people use SARMs is because they may be scared of injections, and that (since they're mostly popular with younger population), it may be easier for them to explain to their parents if they find random pills/liquids than if they find syringes and needles. I do agree though that more research is needed as they're relatively new chemicals on the market whose long-term side effects are simply not known yet.

  Injecting testosterone suppresses your natural testosterone levels just as much if not more than SARMs. If you inject anything into your body that your body naturally produces it will stop producing it as a result. That’s why melatonin is not recommended for insomniacs because your body will become incapable of producing it yourself and it’s why SSRIs are used for depression because it encourages the body to produce more serotonin itself. Both SARMs and testosterone are capable of causing liver injury, but only the latter is also running the risk of fucking up your heart and prostate as far as we know. And the whole matter is complicated by the fact that fuck knows if what they’re actually getting is SARMs/testosterone or something else entirely.
