Paul mate, the time to think about the unknown long-terms effects was before you started roids - which is pretty much why I don't take them. Year for year, you're a much more switched on bloke than I am, but when you're 18 you're absolutely invincible and indestructible - I know, been there, done that. Plus, I wonder what compelled you to ask this; are you and Clare thinking of having kids? Worried about what effect 'roids have on sperm quality? Is she asking whether you'll still be around to see your grandkids??? About the only upside to marriage I see is that you have a second opinion (one that you can never shut up, but that's another thread!)

Back to Biology.

We know that if you stop smoking early enough, within 10 years your body will fully heal, or at least your life expectancy will return to normal. We know that if you cut down on drinking and cut out the binges early enough in life, you give your liver a chance to fully recover. The same logic extends to the harder drugs from marijuana to heroin - stop early enough, and the damage to life expectancy and quality is reduced to nearly unnoticeable levels.

The human body has an amazing capacity for self-repair, so it's an worthwhile assumption - not a proven, just an assumption - that cutting out roids early enough allows the body to repair any cellular damage. BUT - I don't know what they've already done. I don't know when "early enough" is, nobody does. Again, this is why I never started - too many "We don't knows" from the scientific community, and the fact that this stuff comes not branded with Roche or Glaxo's logo nor emblazoned with full-colour pictures of Ronnie flashing his dazzling pearly whites whilst flexing his 25" guns at the camera, but rather in discreetly unmarked brown packages with little or no accompanying documentation. But again, that's a bit too "anti", so let me retrack.

You will do what YOU want to do, Paul - you're over 21 and any choice you make is your good right to make, but there's that subtle change in thinking a man goes through when he gets serious with a lady - what about the future? What worked for you now will work against you later. Just throw the syringe in the bin, it's as simple as that.

Whatever you decide mate, all good fortune to ya!!

Keyser.
