What are your thoughts on men using steroids?

[Anonymous]

I would really like to improve my body image and strength so I have been thinking about them on and off. I would however like to know what women think about it though.

I think it's the equivalent to girls who take laxatives or starve themselves to lose weight. People are always talking about how much pressure girls are under to be a certain size, but we completely forget about the guys who go through body image issues as well. If you're considering taking steroids, then I guess it's safe to say that you go to the gym pretty often and that's great, but health should be your number one concern, not how you look. Taking steroids come with all sorts of health risks that completely outweigh the benefits, yeah you'll get bigger, but you also might get these:
-Prominent breasts
-Baldness
-Shrunken testicles
-Infertility
-Impotence
-Severe acne
-Increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture
-Liver abnormalities and tumors
-Increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol)
-Decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol)
-High blood pressure (hypertension)
-Heart and circulatory problems
-Prostate gland enlargement
-Aggressive behaviors, rage or violence
-Psychiatric disorders, such as depression
-Drug dependence
-Infections or diseases such as HIV or hepatitis if you're injecting the drugs
-Inhibited growth and development, and risk of future health problems in teenagers
Is having muscles worth the risk of all of this? Please don't take steroids. Focus on your health, eat the right foods and continue going to the gym. Girls like the full natty brahs anyway, not that that should be your only reason. Just saying that if aesthetics is what you're going for, steroids aren't the way to go. I have a friend who used to take steroids and it completely ruined his health, he suffers from ED to this day and it took a huge toll on his confidence. He won't be the same again and if he would definitely tell you not to take the drugs. It isn't worth it, not even in the slightest.

I prefer my guys all natural. it shows me that you don't need to tae anything to get huge. I like the strong will power behind it, but I do have friends who take steroids and I will never judge them. Do what you think is right and do what you want to do.

I think it's not worth it.. Women don't want a man to become muscular no matter how he got like that.
I for myself just like it when my man is fit, does sports and looks like it too - but steroids aren't an option.

I think it's a terrible idea. If you want to improve your body put in the work and do it naturally. Take protien supplements but I wouldn't supplement with more than that. Steroids are disgusting and have negative side effects.

Eh, I would not be happy with the mood swings, man boobs, and shrunken junk

[spuitkaas]

Turn-off. Definitely. Are they also those steroids who make a person act weird

A totally ripped body isn't hot anyways, so why would you do that? Most women like slightly muscled.

[RainbowFanGirl]

It shrinks your penis and balls. I wouldn't recommend it.

It makes them seem desperate and turns them into a raging meathead.

I don't know i Never really noticed it, but if it affects his health then no i wouldn't like it or the fact he needs drugs to look like That.

[Anonymous]

I thinks they're bad and you can never stop using them I personally wouldn't go out with them if I met them after they started taking it

[Anonymous]

It's a turn off for me that he needs drugs to look like that
