A lot of male porn stars have amazing physiques...are many of them taking steriods? I would think that the sexual side effects might be a problem...but unless they're simply genetically gifted, they would need to spend many hours in the gym and eat a pretty pristine diet!
the answer is a decent percentage are. the sexual side-effects of the more intelligent ones to use done in moderation aren't signifigant. never done them myself, knew a lot of guys who'd do half a summer on deca/sustanon and clomid and come back to play ball/puck. i'm pretty sure lee stone's admitted it in some interview a while back-it's not hard to guess who else is. frankly, the stuff should probably still be legal, i don't consider it a big deal.
Yes Lee Stone has a massive physique but he also has the classic give away signs of male "bitch tits" that are normally associated with steriod using bodybuilders.
i will tell you this......my workouts have been so sporadic compared to my normal routine. as a male pornstar, you go through stretches where you are booked like every day. I am finished up like 11 of the last 13 days of working. scenes take so much out of you, after i am done, i just want to sleep most of the time. and 2 scenes in a day, like yesterday, forget it!
so working out becomes a real chore. and being a triathlete who is training for Ironman Arizona in 9 weeks, i HAVE to get workouts in. yesterday i was running on my treadmill at home at 11:00pm. nice. its really, really tough.
by the way, i have never done roids....why, 2 reasons, the first is that i am trying to get faster not bigger and the faster steroids are REALLY, REALLY expensive i heard. and second, it gives you a bad self image. once you do steroids and get big, then when you stop you get small, and feel like shit until you are big again. so its a vicious cycle. no thanks.
that never crossed my mind, but now that you mention it, it's a testament to his hardwork being that he got into that condition without steroids. good for him!
You trust the public to figure out safe dosages? This is a public that can't figure out when they have had too many drinks to drive, can't figure out basic taxes on their own, and ran up consumer debt. Every other bouncer in a dive bar (and many good ones) just live in the gym when not working. After talking to a few, I think knowing when they have had enough is a stretch.
I just bought the dvd of "Backfield In Motion"(1994)(Im a Devon Shire aka Jennifer Peace fan) and this movie stars ex-pro footballer Dave Nelson. A number of sources state that Nelson was a steroid case when he came to porn for this flick.
Mandingo has horrible back and shoulder acne. That's usually a major red flag. Most people think you have to look like a gigantic muscle bound when using, but that's not always the case.
Steriods are the best fat burners ever created. Now days, they are used mostly to get the lean muscular look.
I'm a part-time personal trainer so I know. I thought about using them myself years ago, but it's not worth it.
Isaw a recent scene from one of the bangbros -forget which one. but the girl is playing with the guys balls and says he has big balls so he must not do roids - she said the guys who do roids had small balls.
anabolic steroids make your skin brake out esp on the back, have negative effects on reproductive system, liver, immune system, cardiovascular system and they have severe psychological effects, hair loss, effect insulin level and can cause type II diabetes, prostate cancer etc...
but it doesn't mean that every guy with tight balls and bad skin must be on steroids. Mandingo is rather skinny, I doubt he takes that kind of a drug...
Of course it doesn't. Maybe some male performers use them, maybe none of them do. It's their bodies.
By the way, you can be rather skinny and still be on steroids. I see it all the time. Steriods alone won't make you huge. They can used to get a very lean, toned, look as well.
Your workout, amount of calories you consume, and your genetics will determine how much muscle you will pack on and how soon you pack it on...

I'm no expert on the matter, but I would think that if/since it's proven they can give you that lean, toned look - he who spends the most time in the gym doesn't need to spend quite as much time losing the waist tire, and instead can spend more time bulking up (ie - treadmill/situps -v- weight training).
One major red flag is an expanded forehead. Barry Bonds baseball cap size increased considerably. I can't think of any other likely reason for an adult's forehead circumference to expand. I can think of one performer in particular whose forehead began to expand noticeably during his porn career.
Another sign is abdominal muscles that are so large that they actually bulge out farther than the rib cage. I suppose that one could develop abdominal muscles that large through exercise, nutrition, and genetics, but find it unlikely.

I fail to see what relevance steroid use has in porn. Unless it's being injected and needles are being shared, it's nobody's business, legalities notwithstanding. Unlike the author of this thread, I don't find the physiques of male performers to be outstanding or remarkable. In fact, I've often wondered why men who are in a visual and physical business look so shitty. I can't think of a half dozen veterans in the industry who are really in tip top shape along with outstanding mass.

In conversation with Peter North one day, I couldn't help but ask how he maintained his shape. As he said, and I agree, "diet" is likely one of the biggest factors. What he does outside of that, I really don't care to know.
There is alot of male talent that looks like the only thing they've lifted in the past 5-10 years is a beer keg, and I don't mean that to be rude...but rather frank. I don't really care what they look like, I just try to famaliarize myself with faces, personally.
