2000 Help!!! My Lady Says, "NO!!!" Tell me if any of these sayings sound familiar in any way to you. "You just don't understand!" "It's my body!" "If you love me, you'll support me!" Do any of these ring a bell? Are these sayings you would hear your boyfriend or husband say to when it comes to the subject of steroid use? Well if you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the article for you. Let me start by telling you a little about me so you I can gain your trust. I have been in two relationships in which my then boyfriend wanted to start a cycle, and my now boyfriend is a competitive bodybuilder. Ladies, if you are in the first relationship, you are probably asking yourself, "Why does he want to take steroids? Doesn't he know how dangerous they are? He is perfect for me the way he is." You need to understand that the use or the want to use steroids really has nothing to do with us as women. I will tell you this however, if your significant other has decided to bring it up to you, it is quite obvious he wants some feedback from you or wants your support. Of course, if you knew how to do either of the two you wouldn't be reading this article, now would you? So let's take it from the top. Most men want to be in great shape and look like the men we as women "fantasize" about. The majority of men who take steroids don't have any ambition to compete. They want to juice because they have hit their natural muscular plateau, they want to get big quick, or simply get into awesome shape for higher self-esteem. What-ever the reason may be, as long as it is not to be a bad ass and start fights every Friday night, then we as women (the strong backbone in a healthy relationship) are going to have to do some research. If this is your first time dealing with an issue like this, let me suggest you buy one of the myriad of books that intelligently deal with the subject of anabolic steroids. Two that come to mind are the Anabolic Reference Guide and the World Anabolic Review. They go into depth about the different types of steroids and what functions they will perform, and give a realistic assessment of the side effects one might experience with their use. It will give you that much more of an understanding of things plus it is always nice to have something to fall back on when or if he tries to pull a quick one on you. You know like, "Honey, we have to have sex 5 times a day, I'm on steroids and my testicles will explode if we don't!" I am not going to rehash the myths about steroids, that has been taken care of in a previous edition of the magazine. Know that steroids taken correctly can be VERY SAFE and positive for the both of you. An important thing to realize is that roid rage is not an excuse for inexcusable behavior. If your significant other decides to beat the living daylights out of you or some poor innocent at a club then he should not be taking steroids in the first place. There have been scientific studies to show that roid rage is a myth. And if your significant other (henceforth SO) uses roids as an excuse then you need to pack your bags and jump ship. Jason Mueller (who is also my boyfriend) is the easiest person to deal with when he is taking juice, however when he is not taking any, he thinks he is a fat tub of shit, (he usually is right J). There are many psychological and self-esteem issues that go along with using steroids. He wants to pursue the competitive side of bodybuilding, so I can't really blame him for feeling like that. This brings me to an interesting point. If John Doe says to you he wants to start juicing, you need to be honest with him and yourself. Does he work out on a regular basis, does he eat fairly healthy? If you said no to either of the two, then you should not be having this conversation with him until he has been able to demonstrate commitment to the sport for at least 6 months (consecutively). Now, when your SO starts his cycle, you have to always remember that he will be in a routine, and we cannot try to budge him out of that. Which means we can't say, "Honey, will you skip the gym just this once so we can go out?" That once then becomes twice and three times and so forth, then your SO will be wasting the time and money spent to acquire the steroids in the first place. So we need to preoccupy ourselves with something constructive. One of the things I suggest you do is become his gym partner, after all, I can't think of anyone better to spend time with than someone you love. But, if you are not a gym rat yourself, (which he may become after a while) then you could be the one who cooks the meals for the two of you. Now that can go many different ways. There are times when Jason is dieting and I am not, which makes things a little hard, because I want to eat like crap, but I don't want to mess things up for him so I have to cook our meals separately. What we usually do is cook enough chicken and steak to feed an entire army (which lasts 3-4 days) and I eat junk food on my own time. We both have this understanding of what it is like to be dieting and know how hard it can be at times, so with respect to each other we don't try and taunt each other (but that can be a fun sexual game to play on him, you know, a little ice cream melting down your belly is hard for a man to resist especially when he is hornier than heck. Then you can get real creative and tease him by saying "Hold on there babe, you're on a diet remember? Hehehe". So you see we have already made it interesting thus far. Next, is of course the drugs themselves. Ladies take it from experience, don't ever threaten your man with the use of his steroids. What I mean is don't say you'll throw them away, and NEVER EVER say you'll call the police, because one of two things will happen. You'll get into some trouble also, or you'll lose your love because once he sees the gains from juice, he won't all of a sudden stop. I enjoy giving Jason his shots or getting his pills for him, it gives me this sense of bonding he can't get with his boys. Think about it gals, would you rather Billy Bob injecting your SO's butt or you? If you are taking my advice and learning about steroids, then when your man asks you to get him 5cc's of Revorvit, you'll know he is talking about liquid methandrostenolone from Mexico. You want to make sure that he can trust you with everything, and that does mean his health. Besides, it is sort of an ego high knowing that you are his little nurse, without even going through med school. If he is doing something that you don't understand, ask him about it. He should be willing to clue you in, willing to take the time to put your mind at ease about what pharmaceuticals he's taking. If he doesn't, I give you permission to kick his ass, right where you gave him is last shot. I am joking, if he won't tell you what he is doing, it probably means that he is doing something he shouldn't be, and that should spark a reason for concern. Jason tells me everything he is doing, mainly because I am allowing myself to be taught by him, if I didn't things would look bleak in our relationship. The key to being successful with your beau and his new found pastime is to have open and honest communication. Your beau should realize the steps you are taking to make this a fun, learning, positive experience. With that being said, you then have all the right and knowledge to express your feelings about how or what he is doing. The other night Jason and I had a talk about the use and effects of insulin. With him knowing that I have been 110% supportive of his career choice, he not only allowed me to talk to him about it, but he also opted out of using insulin after we thoroughly discussed the negative consequences it could have on his health and our future. However, this would not have happened had it not been for all of the above steps that I have taken. Now, this is a very important step for us. There will be times that your man will feel depressed and lose sight of what he is trying to accomplish. Whatever his reasons are for starting a cycle, (which should have been made clear already), he will always need you to be there to catch him when he falls. Now, I know this sounds like a cheesy version of therapy, but the both of us have been there and spent the money to get help, and I am doing just that, giving you the cheesy version. There will be times in which your beau will have to change his drugs, or add a few calories here and there. When this happens, the gains will slow and may stop for a brief period, and during this time frame is where our support really comes into play. He WILL get frustrated, angry, and maybe even distant. You'll probably hear things like, " I have lost a crap-load of weight", "I am not gaining any weight", "I look awful" and similar comments. If your man is making comments like these, the responses from you are very important. Reiterate his gains, his successes, how great he looks and most importantly, "Babe, give it time it will all work out." Basically ladies, all the situations may be different but the responses should always be the same, just be relaxed, listen to him, and be there. We are right when we say that it will all work out. Besides, being relaxed will also make him relax. This edition, Jason is coming out with his biography. In it he reveals that he is a felon on probation for steroids. He has been on probation for almost three years now, and in those three years he has gone through a transformation that is very impressive. The reason I am talking about this is because if your man is a dealer, you should be aware of the possible ramifications. At the time Jason was arrested I was not in his life, instead I was in another relationship with a soon to be dealer. The idea of the "other guy" doing something illegal as a means to make money was not a thrilling idea, and one that was short lived. Dating a steroid dealer was hard to deal with, and it ultimately broke our bond. The fact that I was voluntarily involved with a drug dealer and did nothing about it, meeting other dealers of all sorts, made me question how much I wanted to be in that relationship. Knowing that if he got busted, chances are I would too, simply by association. I could just see my trying to explain to the judge, "Your honor, I love him and that is why I stayed with him and didn't tell anybody." I knew his response would have been, "If he loved you, he would not have put you in that predicament. Nothing could be truer. To me it is one thing to use steroids for your own private use, but it is another to deal them. That was a choice I was not going to make. We parted ways. I met Jason almost 1 year later. Now even though I did not know he even existed at the time of his arrest, as a result of it, anyone he comes into a relationship with suffers. This is the part that comes to show that a lot of patience and support pays off. We had planned on moving to another state, however because of his probation being in California, we are unable to move until he is off of probation. Traveling is something I have always been partial to, but again with him being on probation he cannot leave the state without permission. How many of you vote? Try to imagine what it would be like to know you just blew your rights as an American citizen away for some drugs. If we are out to dinner and either of us are driving, the police have all the right to search the vehicle, whether it is mine, his, or our friends. It is comforting to know that we could be passengers in a friends car, get pulled over, and because Jason is in the car, we all could get searched and patted down. Sucks huh? He and I live together, and last year they did a routine probation search. My rights as an individual are basically tossed out the window because of who I am with, even though I was not apart of anything he did. My point in telling you this is to let you know that while I am not an advocate on using drugs, steroids are far different than recreational drug use. I don't care what anyone does with their own lives as long as they keep it in their house and don't harm anyone else. However, Jason's desire to sell steroids got him busted, and now three years later I am deeply affected by the consequences. People be smart, don't sell them, use them for you personal use only. Guys, your ladies are putting their freedom in your hands, that should be a show of how much she truly cares for you. If you're lucky enough to have a woman who is supportive of what you are doing, don't be a dumass and jeopardize your futures together by dealing steroids. If you're going to use them, be smart enough to keep your mouth shut about it, don't be one of those tools at the gym that brags about it to everyone that will listen. Ladies, I hope that I have hit some of the basics with respect on how to deal with your man, if you do have any questions, feel free to write Jason, he will give me the emails and I will respond to them. Now guys, don't give this to your women and expect them to immediately fall head over heels in love with your steroid use. This is just advice to get women started with some of the craziest things you ask of us. Just remember that if she is supportive of this, you OWE HER BIG!
