Technically, vitamin D is a steroid, not a vitamin. I'm not assuming it's safe. I'm merely asserting it's not as cut and dried as "steroids: bad."

- Mordisquitos 2y agoYou asserted that 'it's never men doing stupidly risky stuff to try to look young and beautiful', to which a commenter replied that 'steroid use is increasingly common among "hobby bodybuilders", a predominantly male demographic'. Don't you think that is an example of men doing 'stupidly risky stuff' for cosmetic reasons?
- DoreenMichele 2y agoTo my mind, it's a little different because bodybuilding is a form of fitness when done right. Injecting blood into the skin on your face is purely cosmetic. And I have a lot of experience with doing things that helped my health in the face of not having a proper diagnosis for nearly 36 years that other people were highly critical of, so I'm a tad skeptical that young men using steroids are all 100 percent merely being stupid and self destructive. No doubt that some are. But I feel it's more complicated than the kinds of cosmetic crap women tend to do.
