It's dihydrotestosterone and the presence of its specific receptors in the scalp's derma that cause baldness. Men in whom these receptors are absent or scarce (genetic lottery) can secrete high amounts of testosterone, they'll build muscle and be hairy, but their pate will stay garnished. Having a high testosterone level at too young an age (early virilization) is detrimental to height increase (possible Neanderthalian built: short stature, thick bones and natural hyper-muscular morphology) but this precocity's incidence on later cardiovascular risk is debated.

sounds like side effect of Steroid abuse at young ages.

Testosterone is the sexual desire hormone for both sexes. Women with more T have stronger sex drives.
From what I understand, it's a variant of testosterone that is connected to hair loss, and not the one responsible for your libido-- although I could be wrong.
