Do steroids really cause "shrinkage" and is that what happened here? (possibly NSFW)

I always thought that steroids caused impotence,shrunken testicles and temper tantrums(Roid Rage)in men and big knockers in women.

Pumping a male hormone steroid isn’t going to increase the size of a women’s breasts. It will probably reduce them if anything.

See http://www.treatment4addiction.com/addiction/steroid/

Steroid supplements will cause the testicles to shrink. They are what are responsible for producing the normal ones in the first place so introducing additional steroids into the mix causes them to get a type of biological feedback saying that their services are not needed as much anymore so they scale back.

Consider my ignorance fought. I realize my personal sampling of hundreds is statistically insignificant in a world of billions. I recognize now that the picture is perfectly normal. It is only my confirmation bias that makes me think the picture is odd. His genitals are normal and he has every right to be proud of them.

I live in an anomaly. This has been one of those “huh?” moments when you realize that your world is not the real world. Thanks for the responses. I’m content for this thread to fall off the front page and die.

Gosh, sorry we didn’t all join you in mocking the genitals of a stranger. I didn’t realize you’d be this upset about it.

The latter was I must admit only based on my knowing a woman who had to take steroids for a medical condition and who large and very firm knockers.

No, I’m not upset. I was serious. Sorry, if I came across as sarcastic. I particularly appreciated your response and googled some info for myself on steroid use after having read your post.

Okay, no problem then. :slight_smile: I guess I’ve just seen too many threads where the OP really only wanted people to agree with them.

Were they corticosteroids (e.g. cortisone), or anabolic steroids (what we are talking about here)?

Understood. :slight_smile: Maybe it’s all the porn I’ve seen has skewed my view of normal. OTOH, I definitely do NOT think most men are porn-sized.

I honestly don’t know,I do know that she border line brittle bones or something and also had to take calcium supplements.
She was a vegetarian if that helps.

I think this was probably a coincidence.

Corticosteroids would be more commonly prescribed for various medical conditions, but I’ve never heard of them having any affect on breast size. And I was on corticosteroids for years myself.

AFAIK the only kind of pill likely to increase a woman’s breast size is The Pill (birth control pills), and even that often doesn’t make much difference. If there were a reliable way for women to obtain “large and very firm” breasts without cosmetic surgery then word would definitely get out.

Many, many female bodybuilders do get cosmetic surgery because reducing their body fat as much as they do usually results in very small breasts.

FWIW, he definitely looks like a juicer to me, and on the lower side of average; you know, penis-wise.

The distension of his gut despite the low bodyfat is a common symptom (for this reason I’m also extremely skeptical of Daniel Craig’s bond-body) and if you look really closely :o you’ll see what could be a bit of breast swelling around the nipples. Gyno is a dead giveaway.

Grain of salt, and all that.

not a big fan of the guys body, but I think he is seriously lacking in the ball department though. And I think his legs could use more work, they are a bit out of proportion [but then again, I really dont like the average body builders body anyway. I like someone a bit more normal in proportion.]

he has a nice face though.

He looks very familiar.

His face, I mean.

This is going to bug me all night until I figure out who he reminds me of.

I know - I never could figure it out.

Also, penises in porn are normally erect.

Supposedly one of the ways professional bodybuilders make extra money is via gay porn for rich clients (doing poses in the nude, etc). That could be what it is, and why he doesn’t have speedos.

On another note, like others have said, your testicles shrink and pull back in due to the negative feedback system, but your penis does not. Bodybuilders tend to use ovulation drugs to restart their natural testosterone production though. Fun stuff. Juicers take abortion drugs, breast cancer drugs, ovulation drugs, baldness drugs, etc all to deal with the side effects of anabolic steroids.

I’ve seen a lot of non-porn dicks and that one is normal size.

Curious, how did you run across this gem?
