It looks like this topic has been discussed already here: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interac...uced-Sexual-Dysfunction-Is-a-Growing-Problem?. But I noticed people aren't really taking this too seriously and still haven't considered that p**rn and fapping, not finasteride, is probably the cause for their ED. I posted my personal story with ED and incorrectly blaming it on finasteride below, but I created this thread mainly to post this video from TEDx that explains this problem perfectly. I highly recommended everyone who watches p**rn and has erection/libido issues to watch it, if you haven't done so already:

My personal story:
Been on treatments, including finasteride, for almost 7 years now. After about the two year mark I noticed my erections were getting weaker and I was having moments where it took forever to get an erection. At first I attributed it to stress, poor diet, and lack of exercise. A few years go by and my ED was getting worse despite the fact that I was exercising and eating a lot healthier. At this point I figured it probably had to do with the treatments but I was too scared (or just vain) to stop it.
Fast forward to about 6 months ago and by this time I shamefully just resorted to using Cialis (which is not only embarrassing for a guy my age, but also a huge added expense). That's when I came across the TEDx video and started doing research on the various other sites and online communities. I figured it's worth a shot so I stopped the p**rn (with a few relapses from time to time) and months later, I'm now back to normal .
