8. Infertility

As mentioned, the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone will trigger the sex organs into developing into organs that allow people to have babies. If the hormone is not present then the sex organs will remain immature, and the patient will not be able to have babies as a result.

This will apply to both boys and girls, even if they do have partners that are fully fertile. In addition, they may just not feel like having sex because of the lack of hormones that would otherwise stimulate their libido. Boys will also suffer from erectile dysfunction even if they did want to have sex with somebody.
