Women On Steroids
By John Romano (for Muscular Development Magazine)


John Romano is a bodybuilder who wrote an article on women bodybuilders who use steroids and told of his personal experience with a former girlfriend who started taking steroids and the effects it had on her. He met his ex-girlfriend at the gym and described her as a gorgeous, sexy woman who had an athletic body (http://www.musclechemistry.com), she was into bodybuilding, but had a normal woman's body, until she started taking steroids. As she got into bodybuilding competitions, she soon found out that if she wanted to win she would have to transform her female body into a man's. That's what women's bodybuilding competitions are all about, women competing to try to turn into men.


John Romano wrote, "As steroid use permeated women's bodybuilding, public interest declined accordingly...These days you see women on stage in dire need of a third gender classification...this year's Ms. O was appalling. I couldn't even look at some of them. And I'm not the only one. The show has lost so much of its following, as well as many of its popular competitors, that it can no longer stand on its own. The last year the Ms. Olympia was promoted as a solo event less than 2000 tickets were sold. Now it has to be held in conjunction with the men's show in order to get enough of an audience to turn a profit."

He told of how the drugs effected his girlfriend; physically, sexually and emotionally. "To say the effect male hormones have on women is profound is to say Noah built the ark because of a little rain. Listing the side effects women experience while taking steroids is one thing, living with them is another. Six months after we started dating, the girl I met in the gym started her first cycle. She..has not won the Nationals. She did ruin her body and her femininity though. Her skin became course and dry, a lot of her hair fell out, her voice dropped three octaves, her nose grew, her jaw widened and she stopped having her period. In two years I watched her go from the hottest babe I'd ever seen to something that looked like a day old drag queen. She developed almost every side effect a woman can, both physical and emotional, from all the different drugs she used."
What are some of those effects?

"First lets talk about aggression. It's good for a bodybuilder to be aggressive, you get a better workout right? True. But when a woman's aggression is mitigated by testosterone, the result is very ugly. Their brains are obviously confused. They start fights they can't finnish, they mouth off to any one that looks at them sideways and they lose their temper at the drop of a hat. I remember an anecdotal situation with my former girlfriend. It was the first time I witnessed firsthand androgynous aggression. We were in the crowded baggage claim area at LAX...she waited, impatiently, leaning against the wall, wearing spandex shorts, a sports bra and a baggy tank top...and covered in veins from all the junk she rewarded herself with after the show. Looking back I must say she was a sight. Some poor guy was staring at her just a little too long and she went off in that grating voice of an adolescent male. "What the f--- are you lookin' at dick weed? Ha? I'll rip those f---in' eyes right out of your bald head and........." I practically had to pull her off him in front of stunned on-lookers."

"How about sexual aggression? Testosterone makes women...horny and very aggressive...I'm not talking candles and soft music here, I'm talking total, aggressive, instant gratification - several times a day."

"What goes on in a heterosexual relationship when the female member starts turning male. It's not pretty and I'll no doubt offend somebody, but that's the breaks when you get the truth."..."Getting ridden into oblivion while she boisterously extols her pleasure in a voice that sounds like Ed down at the gas station, will have your neighbors think you're having sex with another man. For months after she moved in, until he finally met her, my downstairs neighbor thought I was gay. Then he thought I was weird...Okay, so you don't mind having frequent sex with a big strong aggressive woman with a deep voice. I was able to put up with it, for a while. But how about a big strong aggressive woman with a deep voice, a hairy butt and a small penis? Clitoral enlargement resulting from androgen use is another irreversible side effect. I've seen more than one as big as my thumb, and I can tell you - it'll change the way you think about cunnilingus. When a woman so endowed becomes aroused, her clitoris becomes erect and sticks out just like a penis does. It even looks exactly like a miniature penis. In either case, get used to it. It won't go away."..."rampant hair growth, is another irreversible side effect. This hair growth sprouts up on the chin, chest, around the nipples, and the buttocks - especially the lower inner glutes and around the anus. Ridding her body of this excess hair can become an obsession for one so afflicted. I know women who spend hours standing in front of the mirror plucking corse dark hairs out of their chin with a tweezer, shave their chest and do some extensive bikini waxing. Frequently. And they'll be doing so for the rest of their lives."

"Stomach distention is another side effect attributed to steroid use. The innards of the lower abdomen become irritated and swollen from the use of certain steroids. Chronic constipation, water retention, and intestinal gas can also contribute to the problem. Although not permanent nor particularly problematic, a protruding gut is just another thing the stacked women wants to hide. They try so hard to keep it sucked in."
"Vaginal discharge. Women using steroids that are moderately to highly androgenic usually come down with a nasty case of "the drip."
"Another bothersome yet temporary condition for the roiding woman is the strengthening of her body oder...Testosterone effects the sweat glands in humans, much like most mammals, giving the males of the species a stronger odor."
"women with huge striated, veiny muscles, grainy skin, a big nose, a wide jaw, and a voice like Barry White on helium...are not considered feminine nor desirable."

"Her private acceptance of these conditions is cause for great depression and withdrawal for some competitors. Depression is further aggravated if and when her steroid use stops. Estrogen rebound causes extreme depression, fatigue, apathy, etc. Some told me they thought they were going crazy until their hormones got back in balance. A depressed, hairy woman with a pot belly, scathing body odor, a small penis and a case of the drip is considered by most potential lovers sexually repugnant and the source of great emotional trauma for some women...Turning male can also become the source of considerable sexual dysfunction in a relationship. A woman's sexuality can be damaged for life."

"Is it all worth it? Do the top women competing today earn millions of dollars a year and enjoy wide scale public acceptance and celebrity in exchange for life long disfigurement and psychological trauma? Ha! Many of them can't pay the bills. It's interesting that with what little women's bodybuilding has to offer, the top competitors as well as those striving to get there, are still willing to trade in a good chunk of their femininity, by using steroids, to create an image that is so totally unacceptable."

"Many times it's not her fault. It's a boyfriend or a husband with higher aspirations...who talks an unwitting competitor into doing everything it takes to win. These guys are usually bodybuilders themselves, competitors who never really make it...what better science project to take on for a vicarious trip to the top? Unfortunately these guys don't know enough to get themselves into shape, let alone another bodybuilder - a woman no less, with a totally different chemistry than his...More often than not there's an exclusive guy in the wings with a big dripping syringe who's responsible for ruining her."
And what becomes of a former woman who has turned into an androgynous freak that isn't really male or female completely? Some continue competing, some do modeling for women's body building magazines, some do pornography, while others have gotten into prostitution to serve men with very weird fetishes.

Romano described how "Schmoes are sexual deviates who pay women bodybuilders to wrestle with them, to squeeze her sinewy biceps, have their heads scissored between a pair of powerful thighs, or thrown around like a rag doll by a muscular dominatrix. Many times masturbating in the process. There's more money in it for her if she provides the "hand release." It's the most loathsome form of prostitution. Schmoes are the scum of the earth you would normally find while taking a trip through a sewer in a glass bottomed boat. Sick lecherous little people that no lone female should ever have to face, let alone provide such a service for. Yet so many do. I find it reprehensible that even one woman devoted to this sport feels she has to stoop so low. Bodybuilding seems to be full of such sad commentary."

Romano continued, "I spoke with several women, who I know use drugs to compete, to try and find out why they'd be willing to cash in their femininity and their desirability for such a paltry return...I wonder if they think they're doing something wrong? Not in so far as breaking the IFBB's rules as well as the law, but rules created by a higher power. It's so perfectly ironic; they copy the men in how they train and how they compete, they take male hormones, and guess what? They turn into men!"

"Male hormones belong in a male body...But steroids turn women male and rob her body of its femininity in the process. The result is quite unacceptable, evident by the decline in popularity women's bodybuilding has suffered over the years and the poor public opinion of the competitors. Fitness has been around just a fraction of the time and enjoys far greater popularity as well as public acceptance. There's got to be a message there...If steroid use continues unabated in women's competition, if the women continue to show up come contest time looking more and more like boys with breast implants, the sport will surely perish. Then they really won't have to worry about what people think."
