Libido Loss

[EasyEd]

Well, it happened. I've been on finasteride for one month so far with no sides up until last night. I couldn't get it up for sex with my girlfriend. Yep, I know...pretty humiliating. She didn't care much. She knows I'm on finasteride and knows why it happened...but it still really sucked. For those of you who have lost libido on finasteride, how long before you got it back? I can deal with this for a few days but not for an extended period of time. It really stinks though because I can see the finasteride working..........

 

[jeffsss]

how can you see finasteride working in a months time?

 

[Rage]

drop finasteride for a week... and WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

Sucks about the shed that comes afterwards tho

 

[EasyEd]

I shed a lot at about the week 2 point for about 4 or 5 days but then it just stopped and has been that way since. Also, my scalp used to be pretty visible under bright light when my hair is wet and that's starting to change too. My hair is starting to feel the way it did 3 years ago when it was thick. There are several other things I'm doing like exercising regularly, eating well, using nizoral, not stressing about hair loss...these factors might also be contributing to this but it's honestly the case. My hair looks a lot better than it did a month and a half ago.

That sucks about your limp c*** bro. Hopefully its temporary but if not there is always cialis.

Maybe try not jerking off? My junk has been working like a teenager since I stopped jerking off. Gets rock hard in like 30 seconds of kissing/fondling my girlfriend.

 

[EasyEd]

I hardly ever wack off. We're engaged and actually live together so I probably flog the dolphin about once every 10 days or so. That definitely didn't have anything to do with it. Actually, when we started up last night, I hadn't ejaculated since the last time we had sex which was probably 24 hours before that so there's no reason why I shouldn't have been able to get it up from that standpoint. It was definitely the finasteride.

 

[bubka]

so you have been on finasteride and had no problems, and this was the first time with problems? was alcohol involved?

 

[EasyEd]

Nope, no alcohol. Like I said, I am sure that it was due to the finasteride. We were about to have sex like we do on any other given night except this time, nothing could get it up...not even a blowjob. It was humiliating. It's usually up before my clothes are even off so right away, I knew something was up and then it became mental.

Man...the things we have to go through...

I lost it 2 weeks in and it lasted 4 or 5 days. Glad to report that I am fully back to normal in that department. It wasn't erectile dysfunction for me though, it was just a lack of interest in sex with my significant other.

fight it... most of the time its a mental thing.

 

[EasyEd]

Thanks guys. I'm glad to say that it's back up and running. The only thing affecting me now is the damn watery semen. Anyone ever have watery semen and then have it go away?

 

[ugh]

Been of dutasteride for 14 months...no sex drive whatsoever. Not trying to be that idiot trying to scare people. Trust me on this you do not want my life. Careful with that poison you all taking, could ruin your life.

 

[mr_sparkle]

not really.

I had sides. It's sh*t. Stopped taking propecia and it's all good again.

I've just gotta figure out what to do now. Revivogen? Take half a tablet or propecia?

Dunno quite yet.

 

[Guest]

Why not go on and see whether sides disappear?

There are many, many things you can do to combat loss of libido or limp dick syndrome.

1. Maca Root - 2.5G 45 min before sex.
2. Mucuna Pruriens - lowers prolactin (supposedly the best natural agent to lower prolactin)
3. Horny Goat Weed
4. Arginine (use AAKG, Citrulline, Arginine Pyroglutamate or DiArginine Malate)
5. Avena Sativa
6. Cabaser - drastically lowers prolactin levels!

There are tons more, but you get the point. I've heard a few people complain that they don't want to have to pop a few pills to get in the mood or to get it up...To that I say, if you think popping 2 pills is too much of a hastle, maybe you don't need to be having sex to begin with.

Actually, taking some of the above if you aren't having any bedroom problems is a lot of fun. I can definitely recommend Maca Root to get you in the mood quickly...

For those that shoot their load too quickly, jerk off 1 to 1.5 hours before sex, then take 2.5g maca root 45 min before sex to really help out in the stamina dept.

Next month, I'm going to experiment with Maca Root & Mucuna Pruriens just to see what happens. I've heard that Cabaser can make you be able to "go" multiple times since it lowers your prolactin so much...I'm wondering if taking both Maca & Mucuna can achieve the same thing to some degree. Yeah, I'm a freak.
