Gay/bi youth are estimated to abuse steroids about 5-6 times as much as exclusively heterosexual boys. I don't know what % of the fitness community are gay, but it's A Lot, more so in the bodybuilding/powerlifting demographic vs general athletics. Hypermasculinity and homo/bisexuality have been culturally intertwined for millennia, the Iliad is centered on just such a relationship.

This is an interesting find and explains why “ravenstine” has sort of disappeared from this thread, having asserted that this use of steroids is simply down to men wanting to impress women (then doubling down in it, and sprinkling in some anti-trans stuff in to boot)
