Ah right, after testosterone therapy bodybuilders take beta-blockers, else the testosterone would be converted into estrogen and that would be bad for gaining muscles. Or wold the body just produce less testosterone and estrogen would prevail? Never read too deep into that.

Maca's effects on human sexuality are less simple than "boosting"; it
appears to improve libido, but has no impact on impotence, for example
(given that this is the primary market for Maca, seems unfair). It is
possible it increases testosterone, but a quick look into Maca after J's
post didn't yield much on anti-aging potential.
There's no contradition between testosterone and oestrogen, contrary to
the popular view that they are in opposition they are important hormones
for both genders.
