People Taking Finasteride: How Often Do You Get Morning Wood?

[dralex]

Basically as the title says, People who are on finasteride how often do you get morning wood? Trying to see if people are actually getting some side effects on finasteride without realizing it. Please be honest in your responses. If you aren't on finasteride feel free to comment how often you are getting morning erections.

Only creating this poll because after quitting AR inhibitors for a while I noticed I was getting morning wood almost every day, and realized this was not the case on finasteride. I never really thought about it at the time, but curious everyone else's reactions.

I have morning wood about once per week, but I had this week random boners multiple times for over 20 mins each time.

However I studied my morning wood already before starting finasteride and nothing changed.

I also asked around in my circle of friends and approaching the 30s frequent morning wood is less common.

Intense sports / lifting and enough sleep causes morning wood as well as higher libido for me, so those are the factors that have priority for me.

Good question though, OP and def something to monitor.

If finasteride makes you feel sh*t stop asap. The stuff can have mean neurological sides.

I put everyday as that's the closest to my experience. I'd say I miss about 1 day a week without morning wood, but aside from that I've been consistently getting them. i wish I could compare to pre finasteride but I never even acknowledged the frequency of my morning wood, but I have a gut feeling I wasn't getting them everyday.

A good question would also be, how many times a day/week do finasteride users fap, aside from actual sexual intercourse.

This, got back into the gym the past 1-1.5 months and have been feeling overall f*****g amazing, in all aspects. I do religiously take a DIM supplement everyday and think this has really helped make my experience on finasteride a pleasing one. I remember I ran out of DIM for 2 weeks and gained a couple pounds, could be coincidence, but was enough for me to go out and restock on it.

DIM?

Also, been thinking, honestly can't remember at all if I was getting morning wood on finasteride lol. Will see as I continue with it.

Sleeping commando seems to help with morning wood too.

 

[neddy2016]

I only took it for 2 days and the first night i had morning wood until i got out of bed and then it went down pretty quick.

 

[mdmnota]

I don't use finasteride and have very rare morning wood, but I have no erection problems at all

 

[nicksparrow]

I wake up with a good nice feeling in my dick. Half the time I find myself groping my dick in wet dreams.
And im on dutasteride.

Usually only on days that I workout/lift hard in the gym.

How long have you been using duta?

 

[nicksparrow]

How long have you been using duta?

A month. I certainly noticed a drop in libido. But that changed after hitting the gym. Some reason libido is up 3x more when I exercise and lift.

 

[DiffThinner35]

Rarely had a morning wood before taking finasteride, rarely have them after taking finasteride for years.

 

[davesmith420]

I get it basically everyday; there might be a day a week I don't get one but tbh I had that prior to finasteride.

 

[kj6723]

Most every day unless I've been jerking off an unusually high amount

 

[Nizlor]

Most days.. but if i do not workout regularly and eat somewhat right, it's gone

I'm finasteridesexual, I get hard just thinking about popping that sweet hair-saving pill

Please help dude
I'm overweight and i need to lose weight but I'm worried because I think weight TRAINING speeds up male pattern baldness

you might wanna consider losing some weight before you go on propecia. Weight will be a bit harder to lose on it than off it.

Uhm no it won’t speed it up lol. You’re fine. I weight train too. Whatever testosterone boost you get from training won’t harm your hair.
