Seriously you need to be older to start AAS, like late 20's at a minimum - if you haven't been lifting a solid 5 years you shouldn't be considering cycling either. You need a solid post cycle as well if you ever want your boys to swim or have testicles that are bigger than peanuts.
You guys are going to do what you're going to do, but remember you can REALLY fuck yourself up by going into this slap dick fashion.
I'm a traditionalist and conservative when it comes to gear but that's a bit extreme and alarmist.
25 and up is perfectly safe for cycling as your endocrine system is fully developed by then, 22-23 is pushing it but unlikely to cause a problem, late teens early 20s is foolish unless you are trying to go IFBB pro and are willing to accept some increased health risk to reach a lofty goal.
Also, while 5 years of lifting experience, and being close to your natural limit is ideal, it is by no means necessary.
I think even if someone started out totally out of shape, in about 6 months, they could be ready to cycle safely and effectively.
I don't mean blasting tren and squatting 600 lbs for reps, but I mean doing a basic test cycle to speed things along.
And your balls don't shrink to the size of peanuts when you cycle. I think 20 or 30% at the most is the norm for most people, really not that noticeable. I have never had a chick notice any change in my balls when I'm on cycle. They just notice my rock hard throbbing cock and the fact that I can fuck for hours and go again and again and again.
I suppose if you are a complete moron, and run way too strong a cycle for way too long with no ancilliaries, it might be worse.
But for the casual user who wants to do a light cycle or two to achieve a jacked by normal standards look, and is doing 10-12 week test cycles at 500-600 mg/week, you will be fine. Most do not even need any sort of an AI on a cycle like that, and are just fine with a basic 20-20-20-20 low dose 4 week nolva only PCT. No clomid or hcg or torem or letro needed.
