Is anyone else bothered by what seems to be an explosion of steroid use among porn performers? Or maybe it's always been at this extreme level but I've just been noticing it more. I think it's gotten a lot worse, but maybe you all feel otherwise.
I am not turned on by a steroided body. The Austin Wolfs and Cade Maddoxes and Devin Francos of the world look ridiculous to me. (and I'll be honest - if Austin lives another 5 years I'll be shocked given his rampant steroid use). Maybe there is a point where some use of steroids can make someone's looks improve, but it seems none of these guys know when to quit. And forget looks - do any of these people realize what they are doing to their bodies? The death toll from steroid use in porn is staggering. Was Tyler Roberts's sad early demise due to steroid use, or did it contribute to it? One thing's for sure based on the visual evidence in his videos - he was a steroid user. Reading through the GoFundMe posts by his family members for his recent illness prior to his death, and the fact that at one point they indicated he was going to need a heart transplant, it's hard to come to any other conclusion for those of us who are in the medical field. All one has to do is look at the shoulders/backs of porn performers and the steroid users could not be any clearer. What I find particularly sad is what seems to be rampant steroid use at Hel!x of all places. Hel!x - allegedly twink heaven. When did steroid use and twinks become synonymous? This is just wrong.
This is not meant to shame any particular performers. But no one should be screwing up their health for short-term looks gain. If you feel you look inadequate, go to the gym, eat better, sleep more, get therapy, and/or all of the above. But taking the steroid shortcut is a tragedy that often doesn't end well. To quote a specific gay physician who was lamenting steroid use among gay men, "30 year old gay men should not have heart disease of someone more than twice their age."
