Just Male

This guy is an animal. Not only has he solid beefy bodybuilder muscles, but he is also hairy all over. And when I say hairy I mean really hairy. Just watch the video.

Hairy Ears, LOL

So now I am sure that testosterone does increase body hair. There is a catch though, you will be getting single long hairs on all strange places. I noticed 4-5 of these on my shoulders and on my back (which is ok), but the strangest place I have found such a hair is my ear. Not inside the ear canal where you sometimes get hairs while getting older, but on the top of the ear flap. And it is a thick strong hair. I've never seen a hair growing there.

Well as long as my chest hair is also getting thicker, I am ok with that too.

Hairy Pecs

Almost three months have passed since I started my experiment to increase my chest hair and body mass. As I am now approaching the end of the steroid cycle, I have started to decrease the dosages. Today I used the last ampule of Retabolil (Nandrolone Decanoate) and will continue with only Omnadren (the four testosterone esters mix) for the following two weeks. Afterwards I will go on with some stuff to boost my own testosterone production, as it has probably decreased due to the huge amounts of externally introduced hormones. For now I do not intend to stop the Rogaine. I feel that it works to some extent and just want to see if the effects can further improve for prolonged periods.

DIY Nipple Pumps

I don't know if you have noticed how nipples play a big role in bear subculture. Just look at some bear porn and look how many of the guys have either big nipples or piercings. Macksf, the guy you see on the picture above and one of the most masculine bears ever, has really huge nipples. And here you can see how he got them that big.
My nipples are very sensitive and rather small. I can not say I enjoy nipple play because of this excessive sensitivity. While I am not that turned on by nipple size, I still decided to do something about it.
There are special mini pumps and rings that are being sold for this purpose, but I came up with a DIY solution which works equally well. You can easily do it too if you are interested.

All you need is some small plastic bottle which is soft so that you can squeeze it. I used two bottles from some medicine (actually nasal drops), which I cut to make the opening a little bigger. You can see here how they look:


Now take the bottle, put some water on the opening to seal the vacuum inside better, squeeze it and stick it to your nipple. It will stay there. The initial feeling is very intense, somewhat painful, but very pleasant in a way. The pain will gradually subside with time, but the intense feeling remains. If you wear them while walking they will sway with the movement, teasing you more.


One of the sites selling similar devices says that they should be worn no longer than 15 minutes. Most people on the Internet say they wear them between one and two hours a day, but still you should use caution.

When you take them off your nipples really look huge. Soon they go back to their normal size, but supposedly if done regularly the effect can become permanent.

More Nandrolone

I decided to increase a little the Nandrolone dosage, as I was able to find a reliable source of Retabolil. I added an extra ampule per week and now I have one together with every Omnadren shot. Everything looks fine and I feel stronger than ever. Only the acne seems to get stronger. I have a big pimple on my forehead that won't go away.

Sweating

Well, what I wrote before about not sweating more because of steroids seems wrong. I do sweat more. Just a small effort can make me wet with sweat. Even more, now the sweat seems to have become smellier. Especially in the crotch and armpit areas - just one hour walk in the sun after taking a shower and I smell like I haven't showered for weeks.

This does not bother me at all.

Update

About a month before the end of the steroid cycle I can surely see the results. I am definitely heavier and bulkier than before. I will publish a before/after comparison at the end, but here is a how I currently look. Also I feel that Rogaine is also finally starting to work.

Rogaine

Rogaine and Regaine are two brand names of minoxidil, a medicine initially used for treatment of high blood pressure. It was soon discovered to have the interesting side effect of hair growth and reversing baldness. Now used as topical solution Rogaine is one of the more effective treatments for hair loss. The mechanism by which minodixil promotes hair growth is not really understood, but the good thing is that it seems to work where it is applied.
Some people on the internet have used it to grow beards. I have not found any records of someone using Regaine for chest hair growth, so my experiment will be the first (or at least the first documented). The bad thing is that you have to use it for 3-4 months before you can start to see results. I am around month 2 now, so I probably still have to wait.

More Side Effects

One thing that you definitely should expect when taking steroids are side effects. Most of these are generally accepted as negative. I myself do not always agree. I will certainly like the increased body hair, although I still want to see more effect there.
About some side effects I really don't care - for example receding hairline is something people face and hate. For me it won't be an issue as long as I am hairy elsewhere. I crop or shave my head most of the time anyway.
Some effects are unpleasant - for example I have just noticed first signs of acne forming on my face. Nothing major yet, probably I just have to increase the frequency of washing.
Some effects are more than unpleasant. For these however there are things you can do to prevent them - usually by taking some additional medicine. See my previous posting on gyno and Nolvadex. Another thing I knew I can expect in theory, but in reality did not anticipate are joint problems. But a few days ago I had a minor injury in my elbow when training. This had not happened to me before, it must be the steroid mix again. To prevent any further joint problems I started taking Glucosamine tablets.
It is like this with heavy steroids - you don' only take them, you also take a whole bunch of pills in order to combat the side effects. But it's worth it.
