My policy on this is...
My use of sauce is a private thing. The only people that know I use gear are a few close friends who ALSO use AAS. I have not disclosed my use of steroids to my other friends who are not into it themselves.
I've lived with 2 different girls since I started AAS in 1999, I did it behind their back. When you're living with someone, that becomes a very stressful thing to keep personal. I don't involve myself with crazy dosages, so the desirable results were easily explained, neither of them ever accused me of anything. When other people asked them about my physical improvements, they just said "He's just getting more sleep, eating better, and working out harder."
The girl I'm with right now is a little tougher to skirt around(and I'm not living with her). She's a Medical student and is without a doubt, one of the brightest people I've ever met(both socially and academically). I love her more than anyone else I've ever been with, we have an amazing connection on every level. I've been with her for almost a year and only done one 12 week cycle since then. She has accused me several times, while I was clean and while I was on. I feel awful for lying to her and trying to justify this deceipt here is making me feel pretty bad. However, I know that there is no way I'll ever be able to convince her that the cost/benift ratio of AAS use is in favor of benifts. She has completely bought into all the typical Medical bull-shit about this and I can't compete with the dozens of professors who have educated her about the negative effects of AAS.
Some of my friends who are AAS users, openly profess their habit to everyone. One guy in particular, saw me walking through a very crowded common area at the University and yelled "HEY @#$*!". So I walk over to his table, where he's sitting with a bunch of people(who are obvious NON-AAS users!). He proceeds to pull out a whack of gear he just got. Did I EVER feel uncomfortable. I'll never understand that kind of thought process. All of us sauce-hounds obviously don't agree with main-stream society's opinion on AAS, but wheather its fair or not, we're being judged by these people every day. I think my use of steroids has given me countless of advantages over non-users, but I still care what kind of impression I make on these people.
I keep this facet of my life private. Some day I'll stop using steroids, but until then, it is something I am not prepared to disclose to anyone but a select few.
Sorry this is so long winded guys, its just something I'm really passionate about.
Peace,
S.
