The Sublime Genderf*ckery of the "Grow Your Clit" Movement

Maybe this article lost you at hello. Maybe you read the headline about supersizing your clit and were like, Thanks, but I'm actually fine with the natural dimensions of my bean. Fair, but wait.

We'd like you to meet a person named Kristie.

Kristie is 34, a mom of two, a makeup artist in Phoenix. And the way she tells it, a drug dealer saved her sex life. Kristie and her husband, married since 2017, had a tough go of the baby years. Pregnancy and breastfeeding cratered Kristie's libido. She wanted to want sex. She missed it. But she just wasn't feeling it on her own.

She went to her regular gynecologist, who didn't offer much guidance. The doctor referred her to a sexual-health specialist, but Kristie couldn't afford the out-of-network costs. So she took matters into her own hands. Last November, she found someone online who would sell her what she'd been googling for weeks: a possible hormonal remedy, whispered about on internet forums, that she wasn't legally allowed to acquire at all.

Using an anonymous CashApp account, she traded $150 in Bitcoin for a one-month supply of an anabolic steroid cream. The active ingredient? DHT, a potent chemical cousin of testosterone and a popular black-market substance among bodybuilders. Kristie was determined to get swole in a very specific way-by beefing up her clitoris.
