I figured it was about time to do another pained and unflattering photo documentation. This cursed camera my parents gave me for Christmas.
So yesterday, March 10th, marked 90 Days on Testosterone Cypionate. I also did a voice check, which I'll upload and post tomorrow.
90 Days on Testosterone Cypionate, 100mg every 2 weeks
(Click on images for larger, even less flattering versions - I'd prefer if you didn't, but the option does exist.)
Stomach (hair growth + fat redistribution):
Getting some hardcore belly action where my body fat is most definitely redistributing. Ho ho ho. In addition, it's getting a tad bit hairier, which is demonstrated more clearly in the belly action shot below.
Ooooh yeah, there we go. Look at therm li'l hairs! Still not enough to satisfy my cute Russian female friend, but getting there. One day. Eventually. Putt putt putt.
Leg (hair growth + muscle development)
A bit hairier. No difference in muscle tone that I've noticed. Probably less, since my bicycle tire blew up last week and I've been too lazy to replace it, instead opting to tote myself 2 blocks over to the train stop.
Facial Hair/Acne/Facial Masculinizing
Some very subtle whisker action! It's hard to catch it in the camera it's so tragically subtle, but it's there, damnit, and that's all that truly matters. Still not enough to impress the Russians.
More angles of my incredibly impressive burly beard. Aside from the obvious whiskers that protrude in random spots, there are multiple hairs piling in under my jaw that are currently soft, but gaining thickness and darkness every time I take a gander.

I have a sleeve, wrist to shoulder and I just finally am starting the other arm. Yours is nice, from what I can see..... Is that a helicopter and building? explain if you feel like it. If not no offense meant, some tats are personal i know. Love the jaws shirt. I am rubbing the belly.....
ReplyDeleteOh hey, I can use my girlishness to benefit your manliness! You need to be careful about over-washing your face and actually making it MORE greasy. I discovered this year that my skin is actually NOT greasy (as I have believed for about ten years now), but that it was reacting to all of the scrubbing and medicating and drying out that I was doing to "treat" my breakouts.
ReplyDeleteI've actually been (behaving like a ridiculous hippie and) washing my face with honey instead of soap since the fall, and my skin has completely chilled the fuck out. Obviously, that particular solution isn't vegan-friendly, but you should do a little experimenting with things that are less harsh on your skin. It's completely counter-intuitive, but my personal experience has been that acne-fighting cleanser + no moisturizer = shiny, drippy grease face; no soap/gentle soap + moisturizer = happy skin.
Obviously a lot of your situation is due to all the crazy hormones, but your skin will freak out and make more oil when it is dry, especially when you are biking around outside. So go buy one of those manly face creams, or even better, go get one at Whole Foods that isn't full of gnarly chemicals. :)
[soapbox]ALSO, SUNSCREEN.[/soapbox]
In my humble opinion, I don't think you have very prominent lady curves at all. In fact I think it looks more natural for you. I think you are more aware of them, so perhaps you feel they still “stick out” but I don't see it. I also like your dapper profile pose.
ReplyDeleteThe T is definitely changing you ;) *said with my most squeaky voice*
You make such a hot guy! But then I've always thought so.
ReplyDeleteShane rocket: Oh, no offense taken! Thank you for asking and for the compliment and belly rub!
ReplyDeleteI'd be an ass to take offense about being asked about a tattoo that's so.blatantly.obvious (i.e. all over my left arm). It does some times serve as an unwanted conversation starter though, "Hey man, where did you get your ink? I got mine in prison. Want to check it out man?"
Anyway! It's actually painfully unfinished, especially now that one of my top-top-top priorities is top-top-top surgery. But, ideally and in a super uber nutshell, it's just a story of the world as it is now, leading to people standing up, utilizing strategic nonviolence along my upper back, and a right sleeve full of a more democratic, happier future. You know, the usual, sad bad on one side, happy good on the other. ;]
One day, one day...
raedances: YES YOU CAN! That's way good advice. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCurrently I've just been trying my hardest to leave it alone as much as possible and to not aggravate it. I have a night time acne solution I wear every other night, then I rinse my face in the morning (just with water) and put on a facial moisturizer that has sun screen in it. Then, at night time, I gently wash my face with an acne cleanser scrub that has little exfoliating beads, then pat it dry.
Of course when I think "sun screen" thoughts of you hissing about the sun shine pop into mind. ;]
Kegg: You call THIS CHANGE? YOU THINK T CHANGE ME!?!? JUST YOU WAIT! I BREAK ALL YOUR ACTION FIGURE AND CHEW UP ORANGE KITTEN FOR BREAKFAST! GAAAHH!!!
ReplyDeleteManna: Shucks. ;]
ReplyDeleteyer stubble isn't impressing the women of the middle east either.
ReplyDeleteNeekrs: My stubble will NEVER impress the women of the middle east. ;P
ReplyDeletethat's not necessarily a good thing. you're trying to grow it, and i try to get rid of it. you should just take mine and glue it yer face. that's kinda gross actually....
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the hair is just taking its time to surface.. you'll get there. :D
ReplyDeleteBackground: so I have a dear relative with PCOS and a full on man goatee/beard. I think she gave up on plucking many years ago and does everything to try and diminish the effect.
ReplyDeleteTidbit of trivia: I got this relative laser hair treatment as a gift. I learned in the process that some hair follicles are dormant for weeks and months at a time. I guess this is why I pluck the same 10 or so hairs off my chin, but at all different times. I bet it's on the way soon.
Lost: Oh definitely. I'm not anxious, honestly. Excited and impatient, but I also realize that 3 months is actually a very small blip of time - despite it feeling longer, and wanting those changes to happen NOW.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, btw. And hello!
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks "Anonymous"!
