Would you be in a relationship with a man knowing that he takes steroids?

[blondfrog]

Yes I would

No I would not

No I would not even though I see lots of women who are with men who takes steroids, but I am gonna gaslight you and tell you those women don't exist and the poll results will be lop sides on this one.

A total of 53 votes were cast: 32 girls and 21 guys. See detailed results

My man is very into body building and he has taken steroids before a long time ago. If he were to start taking them again now I definitely won't let that happen. He can take other things that are less harmful and much more beneficial for him in the long run...

[blondfrog]

But 99% of body builders are on steroids. So he most likely is still on roids especially if he is competing.

[Opinion Owner]

Not really. A lot of them are on HGH or just good ol’ Testosterone which is awesome for longevity.

[Opinion Owner]

The steroids messed up with his hormones so bad, he got depressed and said that he couldn’t even get a boner. He was on it for a month but took him almost a year to bounce back from the adverse effects…

[SlutSaverVulture]

@blondfrog while that statement is... impossible... requires you to define what 'bodybuilder' means - it would be true if you said "99% of humans including 99% of bodybuilders know jack shit of what and how steroids are capable of".

Let's... admire anon for distinguishing "ol' testosterone" from other steroids. Even among muscle building androgens they vary wildly. It is true that a lot of synthetic steroids are harmful in any quantities, whereas others are non toxic at certain limits. With bioidentical testosterone you needn't worry about internal organ failure.

Regarding anon's last comment, it is 100% preventable and swiftly reversible, the suppression of natural hormone production is really, really least of your concerns when taking high dose external steroids. And other risks, can be taken care of too. Just look at numerous men still thriving in oldage who were pro bodybuilding champions decades ago. It's like they are healthier than their steroid free counterparts, when in our grandparent's era they hadn't even had 1% of the knowledge about steroids that is available today.

For reference I'm the one jumping on and off steroids right now and my mood is more stable than ever, I've figured most of it out how male and female steroids play in with serotonin and endorphins, with that you can cross out the gonadotropin suppression issue.

Cancer might be encouraged if endogenous hormones are disproportionate one to another though, but I'm not at all buying the "DHT causes prostate cancer" scare, if DHT supplementation wasn't successful treating PC in published studies, I'd still go with logic: look up jose canseco. Was arrested for steroid use and tested positive after his career ended. Still alive and no prostate cancer, but you'd think he's genetically predisposed since his father died from prostate cancer... nope, and he abused steroids and is cancer free.

[SlutSaverVulture]

And speaking of HGH, there are more published thorough studies proving that it's useless for young athletes than anything of substance claiming it causes protein synthesis and lowers myostatin.

For another point of view, think about people with acromegaly, they don't make gains any faster or anything.

And for the elderly, if their HGH is declining they can simply do TRT, wet compounds like testosterone without aromatase inhibition very significantly elevates HGH production. I think HGH and even worse ghrelin mimetics are trash supplements.

@SlutSaverVulture The vulture became level 3 overnight, capable of linking articles, and graphs, and diy affordable, effective and side effect free route of administration ideas. It's unthinkable to me how uncreative is the average steroid user. I probably won't post images... but think how retarded is it to take steroids in esterified forms that keep your blood concentration as high at night as during the day. Androgens increase voluntary and involuntary muscle contractions. So I rather inhale it unesterified before workouts and keep somewhat closer to natty levels at night... (although, I ponder how long do steroids exert action on our body after they already left bloodstream? From my experience, at least 1 day after my blood concentrations normalized I still feel it pretty strongly, it's the tissue receptors that matter, not the blood hormone levels...) and if I were to use esters, I would use a short acting androgen antagonist at night to sleep properly.

I thought on the last anon comment. So you're limiting "adverse effects" only on what happened afterwards? So no immediate noticable toxicity, no blood pressure issues and no insomnia? That means all the adverse effects happen as a result of low androgens following the month. See, a very important distinction. And as I said, at least for those capable of independent thinking - suppression of endogenous testosterone is the least of all concerns with steroids, and yest the most feared.

[ThrobbingMeat]

Let's say that again. Your man suffered from low testosterone. One can say, steroids would be exactly what he lacked, his dead boner and mood are caused by a lack of steroids.

... you know what, I decided not to link any articles, it'll likely overwhelm you even if you're half as interested in it as I am. I may dig up the studies that can be "the ultimate proof" which aside from myself pretty much nobody on the wide entire internet would think to ask about, that virtually all "bodybuilders" and "hormonal doctors", are totally ignorant of how suppression of gonadotropins is mediated. And it's not that difficult to figure out... more like the excess of idiotic information drowning out the good data that exists. It really appears that the "big pharma" wants men to suffer low T, that's why they push solutions that work poorly, while nobody bothers with what's obviously superior.

.. maybe I should stop preaching, I already informed hundreds of fuckers online, some of whom latched on sucking more info from me trying to profit from my ideas... maybe I should have kept it a secret, perhaps cheated drug tests using what nobody else knows?

So, the way using steroids causes low testosterone... it depends, some steroids, for example I can link halotestin trial document, it is directly toxic to the testicles. The common way our bodies quit producing testosterone is as everyone knows, we lose luteinizing hormone levels following steroid use. Now, the only thing mainstream ever does to raise LH is antagonize estrogen receptors. Which I came to think of as fucking retarded.

Before I exceed reply length limit, I'll summarize that no steroids directly reduce LH by acting on pituitary. There are several intermediate chemicals that lead to reduced LH, one of which are endorphins. All steroids, estrogen, testosterone, increase them, they eventually lower LH. Intercept that during steroid use, no low T afterwards. But to do so, steroids must be used "unconventionally."

[ThrobbingMeat]

Know what, I should tag @d_bone_steak... to inform him I would take the time to link 50 studies.

Or at least now here is the update, not yet conclusive essay about the stupidity of using estrogen antagonists which I wrote elsewhere, I did try them and I'm ready to throw them away, although there was a noticeable benefit, besides the obvious immediate side effects it's going to be toxic long term, and not even as effective as what I came up with... pretty much that old opinion by @ButtFloggedTroll linking the guided meditation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG5cZzbKvW0

The method is perfect, use steroids and don't get boner issues after quitting.

[D_Bone_Steak]

@ThrobbingMeat I think for me, I sort of figured out natural hormones which is like steroids, but I'm not physically taking anything. So what do I take? I watch porn... instead of jerking off to it though, I lift weights. It's like a 1-2 punch of testosterone boosting which I believe has made my balls the size of my fists.
I get tons of vagina, but at the same time I'm telling my body it needs to improve because I'm missing out on all this vagina I'm not pumping.

What I think is going on, that unlike a guy that artificially jacks their test levels up and shrinks their sack, I've artificially jacked up my bodies need for test and it's just creating more for the demand. There is always a fight, a new woman, and some heavy shit that needs to be moved.

[SlutSaverVulture]

@D_Bone_Steak when you're talking about pumping actressess' vaginas it's making my feathers so erect they're almost tickling myself!

But no, some humans can naturally get doubled the testosterone level of average, but never 20x like exogenous testosterone would.

Besides, I think I mentioned somewhere in this thread that it's not the blood levels but tissue receptors that matter. Thus what you're proposing isn't automatically excluded just because testosterone does not get as high. Yet primary sexual stuff isn't muscles... your techniques are more likely to skyrocket coom production and make you steel hard, maybe you're extra motivated to lift extra heavy, but it's not something that'll make you not feel tired after lifting hours straight and abolish muscle breakdown.

[D_Bone_Steak]

@SlutSaverVulture I also lift pretty light. I have micro weights that allow me to progress by only.5lbs on a bar or by 1lbs with the dumbells. My current workout sessions is about as difficult as sex. My actual rule is if I meet perscribed reps is to progress by 2.5lbs, because usually my body don't even notice the difference. When I meet failure I reduce the weight by 1.5lbs... it's so micro that I'm just constantly making progression.

I honestly feel nobody is doing it like me, but I think they should try it out. I'm an alcoholic that's lazy as shit, but I get the assumptions out of people by looks that I kill it in the gym for hours or get on gear... naw, I do about 30minutes of bullshit in a very designed to be easy routine.

The calisthenics is the only super human stuff... and I'm only adding that stuff just because I can.

If I were to give my strategy a name... I'd call it micro lifting. The principal of proggressive overload is held strong, but it's on such a micro level that the body doesn't even get sore. It's about as difficult as going to the bathroom.

[ThrobbingMeat]

@D_Bone_Steak sometimes it's awesome to have a strength boost like no stimulant can give, but at this point I'm curious about how well it's going to work, what countless millions are trying to achieve, some coom collector who barely passed high school just came up with it?

Studies show that rodents given steroid equivalents of common athlete dosages, certain brain regions during steroid use have endorphin levels dozens of times of that which is normal.

Similarly, healthy male monkeys given endorphin blockers... testosterone goes up 10x of what was normal.

Endorphin blockade is know to raise luteinizing hormone... but when LH is already raised during an androgen antagonist (what they stupdily use for certain cancers...) then endorphin blockade does not elevate LH. Why? I have two assumptions, main one is that endorphins are necessary step in the feedback loop of steroids lowering LH.

[ThrobbingMeat]

And so, standalone endorphin blockade is a mild T booster, but has great potential in preventing gonadotropin shutdown during steroid use.

[ThrobbingMeat]

I would've gotten the objective evidence, have experimented plenty myself, just don't have excess hundreds of dollars for the bloodwork.

[Apple1996]

If I wasn't gonna have babies with him then it'd be fine. Steroids are bad for sperm count. I think they were orginally created as male birth control but failed the tests

[blondfrog]

Thanks for teaching me. Sometimes your so wise I forget that your older than me.

[Apple1996]

I'm so old and wise like a grandma 👵

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I would tell them women who date men who use steroids what she is up against.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for MHO :)

[coachTanthony]

If he is sticking it in his arm it's probably heroin not Testosterone ha

[AI Opinion]

Navigating the landscape of love and relationships, I often come across questions that require delving into the complex dynamics between partners. When it comes to being in a relationship with someone who takes steroids, it's not just about the act itself, but what it represents. Steroids can indicate deeper issues such as self-esteem, body image concerns, and the willingness to take risks with one's health. These factors can significantly impact the emotional and physical intimacy within the relationship. I’d suggest having an open and honest conversation about why they feel the need to take steroids and how it affects both of you. Remember, communication is key in any relationship. It's all about understanding each other's viewpoints and coming together to support one another in a healthy and loving way. 😉

[Jennifer604]

@Love Doctor Brad hit it on the head.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

As long as they’re not doing it for athletic competition, does it really matter? Also, you’re only talking about this one specific usage like steroids aren’t used for medical reasons. If the side effects don’t involve violent urges or uncontrollable impulses, there’s really no danger to being with someone who takes them

[blondfrog]

I should have specified anabolic steroids then.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I don’t understand the difference

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't think so... I'm not into extremes...

[CrabCakes11]

Steroids disgust me. I’d never date a steroid user.

[FatNeville]

As a heterosexual, I wouldn't be in a relationship with a man regardless, so I just chose the third option to be contrary.

[Abbycado]

Nope, not a chance of that happening for me.

[blondfrog]

Why do you think other women would be in a relationship with man on steroids? What appeal do they see in that kind of man?

[Abbycado]

I honestly don't know what the appeal would be. It isn't healthy and not something I would want to be around. Workout the old fashion way.

[Nikki1989]

No, I don't like druggies of any kind.

[Sevenpointfive]

as long as that penis satisfied my transgendered vagina i'd be okay with it

[Anonymous]

I take steroids. I wouldn't want my man taking it too.

[siseñor]

literally told my man i'd break up with him if he hopped on

[laly520]

nope

fully natural or na

[MemeSupreme]

nah that'd feel weird

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

No!!

[PBandJ_Nerd]

For me it's definitely a no.

[Xia1994]

No cuz he's self harming

[Simslover92]

Definitely not.

[WhitneySnow]

No..
