it depends on your symptoms, so again, go to an endocrinologist, and you will thank yourself later (saw you did it, good!)

btw i would check shbg, lh, prlc, andronstenedione, androsterone, estradiol, zinc, vitamin D

dht and free testo are not reliable indicators

I cant get hard with p**rn either, i only get semi hard while death gripping my dick and can stimulate it enough to finish off.

Dont bother explaining anything to these kids, dude, they are just teenagers.

Also yeah, i've read studies yday, that men from 22 to 45 were most prone to develop long lasting ED on finasteride if they took therapy for more than 200 days, im at 180 days somewhere atm.


Clown teenagers, man, dont mind them.

It's not p**rn, brother. Problem is when i see women's bodies irl i graviate towards them, i want to hug them, touch them, kiss them, but my dick doesnt react. When i was 18-22 i could get hard just by looking at girls *** irl or thinking about f*****g one of those chicks.


Blood tested for what? There are so many indicators to look out for tbh, progesterone is largely responsible for potence and sexual demorphism; dht, testosterone, estrogen, f*** knows what.


What's ashwagandha?
I think of taking quarter or half of cialis pill before sex with girlfriend as short term solution, but try to see what i can do for long term.

I actually already signed up for a visit to sexologist, see if he had experience with such situations.
Why don't you listen to the 'clown teenagers' who don't have ED? The people who don't get sides on finasteride are the ones who aren't addicted to p**rn. What you're experiencing right now is a placebo and you're a p**rn addict in serious denial.

Well finasteride can absolutely do this but you can also exacerbate it yourself because when you're about to smash you're just thinking about finasteride and your dick not working and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. So firstly take the pressure off yourself by thinking how you're going to react if it doesn't work, like just make a joke about stage-fright then start eating some pussy. This way you're not feeling under pressure to perform and it will just happen.

You can use cialis at the start but it's not something you want to make into a habit and if you need cialis every time to function then you need to sort some sh*t out.

There's a few things that have helped me when I was younger and taking anti-androgen stuff

Zinc supplements like 30-50mg a day
L-arginine
Cardio, get super fit
Lifting heavy weights
Fap but without p**rn and not too often
Kegels

People have already made good points here, but I will add my humble thoughts.

1. There are countless reports of finasteride causing erectile dysfunction. People have different bodies and react differently to drugs. Here is one man describing his trouble with finasteride and how the natural treatment Zix has saved his hair instead:

https://www.hairlosstalk.com/intera...ce-how-b6-and-zinc-have-saved-my-hair.101629/

2. It is no secret that pornography and masturbation can cause erectile dysfunction. There are various reasons for this. You can easily find information online. Masturbation exhausts the penis, especially if done often or for long sessions. It adapts to this rough treatment and becomes dependent on it. The penis is an athlete that only performs well if it gets sufficient rest.

When you watch the poison pornography, your mind adapts to it and becomes overstimulated, needing more and more stimulation. It drives your mind away from your woman and true love and passion. Like masturbation, the penis adapts and becomes dependent on it, at least if watched often. Try to fantasize about her instead of your screen.

3. You mentioned that you are stressed and busy and sleep little. These factors certainly can contribute to erectile dysfunction. Low energy decreases vitality, libido, physical strength, mental capacity and more.

4. For some people, taking a zinc supplement does wonders, but if you wish to try it, be careful and keep in mind that it can cause copper deficiency, which can also cause trouble like low libido and energy. A copper supplement can solve this. There are other supplements to try too, such as the ashwagandha that someone mentioned before me, but I would work on the root cause of your problem first.

5. You mention that you have been single for a long time. This can be another contributor because you are not used to the new situation yet. Being nervous makes it even worse. This problem passes with time.

6. There are indeed some tricks around your problem, such as the drugs mentioned. However, something interesting that is underestimated and has not been mentioned here is a penis ring, typically called "c-o-c-k ring." It is cheap and helps attaining and maintaining an erection because it traps blood in the penis. This can be tested at home. Just be careful not to keep it on for many hours. If a woman asks us what the ring is for, we can simply reply that it gives the penis an extra boost. Many men use it even if they have no trouble with their erection. It is common among strippers, for example.

Good luck!

Try quitting p**rn then. I'm just trying to help you out man. I promise you, you'll be much happier if you quit p**rn regardless if it fixes your libido or not.

I made a sort of similar thread where i was asking if sex is that much different than p**rn, im a virgin so worried that my lowered libido on dutasteride and spironolactone might hinder me from getting an erection while having sex but dick working fine with p**rn, hopefully i will find out one day, just hope it's not too embarrassing lol

Your problem is p**rn, not finasteride. Sure, finasteride hits your libido a little but you can get back to normal if you quit p**rn.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!

Beat your dick as much as you want bro. If you have ED, an extremely common side effect of finasteride, the cause is not f*****g p**rn, it’s the drug. Get yourself some ED pills and think about whether or not depending on them is something you can live with or not as it’s not going anywhere.

If you think p**rn has absolutely no effect on ed then you're a pussy in serious denial. Go ahead and jerk off to p**rn and stay depressed. Don't try to act all knowledgeable when you don't know sh*t.

People are so stupid on here, there are reports of people taking finasteride which gave them permanent ED. When I stopped finasteride it took me months to get the same functionality I had before I started taking it and even still I don't feel the same libido I once had. So yeah quit p**rn but I highly doubt it will do much. People on here seem to disregard any experiences which hasn't happened to them it's so weird

Finasteride CAN cause ED
p**rn addiction CAN cause ED

If your ED is from finasteride you cannot cure this by abstaining from p**rn

i was on it for 2 and a half months just looking for maintenance, at this point i was easily a NW1.5 with full density. i had a really nightmare experience on finasteride to be honest. i had an incessant shed with was accompanied by an itching, crawling, inflamed scalp which led to severe dermatitis. i ALSO had ED and complete loss of libido so i decided to stop it, when i did hairloss slowed down a lot and i started oral minoxidil to try get some back and i thought it was working for a while but i just had a huge shed and now my hair has never looked worse (maybe NW2.5)

No, you have no clue. But go ahead and stay in denial and pretend p**rn is normal, retard. You're the guy with ED here, not me.

I think the p**rn industry is a bit atrocious tbh and im a bit of a hypocrite for watching it one the odd occasion. I don't think i would find it hard to stop altogether for me but i find getting it up without visual stimuli to be quite hard on my current regimen, in saying that a few days ago i woke up with an erection so maybe it's just all in my head.

I do have severe stress at the moment due to overworking and having high pressure at the job, also i sleep little. Combined with finasteride i guess it just enhances the effect of all these negative factors.
Stress is for me the biggest erection killer, I have much better erections on dutasteride 0.5 mg ED and with mild stress than on big stress like finals on university and without dutasteride/finasteride.
