finasteride Erection Quality

Hey guys, I apologize in advance for the explicit subject matter.

After nearly six months of taking finasteride I've been experiencing some problems down south. Libido is high, but erection quality is probably about 65-70%. The thing seems shorter, won't stand well enough, and goes down quickly. Nothing is different in my life, so I'm assuming finasteride may be responsible. I started no fap two days ago to see if this makes any difference, but I suspect the issue may be finasteride related. I would just jump on Cialis, but I don't want to become dependent on that at such a young age and its cost is an issue in my current economic state.

I've been doing some reading and I see that some have used horny goat weed to cure the problem. I know this stuff increases testosterone, so will that have implications on my hair? Also, I saw a guy on another forum recommend buying a brand without saw palmetto as an ingredient.

One other issue--I like my chances of getting laid this weekend. Have a date with a hot milf. Didn't go so great last week with another girl (had three-four beers and wouldn't get up) so my confidence is a bit rattled--I'm assuming there is a lag for horny goat weed to work, so does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do Friday? I'm thinking of crossing my fingers and trying some gas station pills. I've heard PowerZen is effective

Thanks guys and again I apologize for the content

Quit watching p**rn, and chronic masturbating.

Performance anxiety could also be a factor which affects a lot of men. If you aren't comfortable, feeling anxious and paranoid about being able to perform before and during sex then game over. Blood vessels get restricted down below when you are nervous. A glass of wine, cuddle and let your c*** do the rest. Key is to relax!

Sounds to me like you're not the type who can pick up a random girl and throw her a hard bone on command. See above.

All that crap is snake oil. Anecdotal effexts from herbs that don't do anything. Pseudo, placebo rubbish

You need a pharmaceutical nitric oxide booster...known as v**** and cialis. But again, if you are not calm and relax it won't work.

I think you're on to something with the p**rn and constant jerking. I was doing a lot. 4-5 times daily. I've decided to quit this week

Thing is, I have picked up and smashed some randos in the past--never had an issue, even with some brews in me. I do think performance anxiety is going on at the moment--never went soft before until last week and that's totally f*cking with my psyche. I think you're right though, the girl and I did rush things last week. Drunk and in a hurry I'd describe it. I'll try to slow it down and see if it helps

Thanks man

Maybe start going to the gym too? Improves blood circulation. Also, take zinc.

I started working out with weights about a year ago (May '15) and it upped my sex drive for sure. Since starting finasteride in October, I'm wondering if the drug has negated the benefits. I've heard zinc helps. Thanks man

Drunk? That aint performance anxiety. It's called 'whiskey dick'

Whiskey dick just makes it hard to bust which is normal when u r drunk. Achieving an erection shouldn't be a problem.

Check out your brain on p**rn. Chronic p**rn usage and masturbating isn't healthy.

Sleeping problems are making it hard for me to reduce masturbation. I've had reduced sleep since starting finasteride. I hope it improves soon.
