Default Question on cortisol / testosterone relationship.

If ACTH signaling causes the release of the precursors for both Cortisol and Testosterone, why then is it said the two have an inverse relationship? (ie. if one is high the other is low) Or is this simply not the case?

I understand only a fraction of test is synthesized by the adrenal cortex in men, but in women it's one of the primary means.
