The Picture I Promised

I have not written here for a long time and it is because I have somewhat abandoned my hairy project for now. I intend to start another testosterone cycle in about a month or two, but till then - here is the current result, after the DHT gel, that I promised:

It seems that there is some slight improvement since the previous pictures you can see several posts below. It is not as big as the one from the testosterone, though.
Or I have just reached the age when I get naturally hairy. No matter what, I have some chest hair now and I like it. Hopefully it will grow more

The Gel Is Over

The gel is finally over and I will post very soon a new before/after comparison.

Andractim - 2 Tubes To Go

This stuff is rather expensive and runs out faster than I thought initially. Of the 4 tubes I bought, only two are left now. I will of course finish them too, but I am doubtful if I will be able to continue with it for much longer. Well maybe, if it has some very noticeable effect at the end, but currently do not see any amazing results.

DHT Gel

I have been using the topical DHT gel for about two weeks now, but actually do not have much to say. I feel a little more horny than usual, but definitely the effect is lower compared to what the testosterone did to me. Some people report increased aggression, well maybe there is something to it, but again even the injectable steroids could not make me experience the infamous "rage".
I am applying the prescribed dose of the gel twice a day. I put most of it on my chest (if you read this blog you should know that my aim is to become hairy), but I also rub a little on my dick, hoping to get some of the enlargement effect people have been talking about.
Overall I feel that the testosterone shots probably produced more DHT in my body as the effects of the gel seem to be very mild. It could also be a question of dosage; after all I used a higher dose of testosterone than the normal and now I stick to the prescription recommendations for the DHT gel.
I can only hope that because of the targeted topical action of the gel the effects will be more visible at the end.

Topical DHT Gel

A few days ago I ordered two tubes of Adractim topical DHT gel online.
Here is some information about the gel from the web:

Andractim is a topical DTH (dihydrotestosterone) gel, which comes in a 80 g tube, containing 80x 25mg doses of DHT. Made by Laboratories Besins-Iscovesco in France, Andractim is commonly used to treat gynecomastia and male menopause.

Actually for most of the male body systems (brain, skin, genitals) the hormone which regulates the androgenic effects is not testosterone, but actually DHT. In the body parti of the testosterone is converted to DHT and actually DHT is related to most of the side effects you notice when you have high testosterone - increased body hair, increased libido, increased aggressiveness, acne.
DHT is also the culprit of male pattern baldness.

DHT is 3 to 5 time stronger androgen than testosterone. Unlike testosterone it can not convert to estrogen, actually it has anti-estrogen effect - it is actually used to cure gynecomastia.
Some guys here have actually used the DHT gel for penis enlargement.

Now I am waiting for my order to arrive and will write about the results.

Ink

Do you think tattoos are sexy? A lot of bears seem to think they are, if you have a look at some of the bear-porn actors. I personally think that tattoos look very good on a man. And I like heavily tattooed guys most. Currently I have just one tattoo, but probably will get more.

5 Kg

I have gained about 5kg from the steroid cycle. Not that much, but I believe most of it is lean muscle. Taking Nolvadex during the whole time has prevented the water retention which occurs normally.

Chest Hair - Before and After

This is the before/after comparison of my chest hair. I tried to take the 'after' picture in the same light conditions as the 'before' picture a few months ago, so that the differences can be seen clearly.


Here are my conclusions:

• There is definitely some additional hair growth, so the combination of Rogaine and Testosterone supplements works. In fact seeing the two pictures side by side surprised me, I did not expect to see that much of a difference.
• It does not do miracles - I am still far from the hairy pecs I want.
• It makes sense to continue with the Rogaine after the end of the steroid cycle to see if there is some potential for additional growth.
• It makes sense to try an second cycle, probably around the end of the year to see if the effect is cumulative.
  

Almost Over

Yesterday I had my last Omnadren shot for this cycle. During the last few weeks I have not felt any negative side effects. The sleeplessness is gone and the acne has subsided. My joints are ok. The nuts still look normal :)
In fact I am feeling great now. Too bad that it is over.
I think that now it comes the time to see what I have achieved. I will blog about this in the next few days.

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.

Time for Some Porn

I think Dubskin's website is the best collection of free porn on the Internet. Here you can see a small sample of the more softcore pics on the site. Definitely check out the Hairy section of the gallery, but also do not miss Skins, Tats and Uniform.If you are into more hardcore stuff you will surely appreciate the Piss and Heavy Duty sections. And it is really free. No strings attached.

By the way the webmaster is quite a hunky guy himself.

I Can Get No Sleep

Sleeplessness is one of the testosterone effects that I have been feeling recently. I wake up at night, several times, always hot and sweaty. It almost feels like fever. Don't think that the sweating is a result from the steroids though. I have always been sweating a lot.
