Dear Dr. Milrod:

During one of my last steroid bodybuilding cycles, it adversely affected my libido. I discovered Caverject. This medication when injected into the penis keeps it incredibly rigid for 2 to 3 hours. As a pro-bodybuilder I’m in freaky shape with unusual physical stamina. Most women don’t want a locomotive pounding for several non-stop hours.

I cannot seem to get off unless I go at it full power for at least an hour or more. I have yet to find a partner who can match and enjoy my freakiness, except for perhaps a juiced female bodybuilder. Any suggestions?

Arnold

Dear Arnold:

Cycling steroids means that you are doing something quite unnatural to your body and it is surely reacting to what you are administering, with adverse consequences in bed. Hence, finding a woman who can deal with unnatural conditions such as priapism may be difficult. I don’t think a “juiced female bodybuilder” will make a difference, because although she may have some clitoromegaly, juicing is not necessarily going to make her vagina sturdier and able to handle some serious pounding. Also, remember that females, bodybuilders or not, are psychological creatures. If they aren’t wildly attracted to you physically and emotionally, they are not going to be able to handle such rough ‘treatment,’ particularly not with a condom. It’s simply too painful for most women after one hour, unless they’re on drugs, anesthetics or just so crazed about you that their brains tell them not to stop – and then they still will get sore the next day. My suggestion is to make a choice. Either you stop the body modification and get down to a normative level in terms of erections, duration, etc. and get with women without Caverject, or you focus on yourself exclusively and achieve perfection, albeit alone.
