Let's say somebody still has a monstrous sex drive while taking finnasteride but struggles a little more than usual to get hard

What's the scientific explanation for this? Does finasteride really affect anything relating to strictly erection ability?

It affects the erectile tissue in your penis. Penile tissue is dependent on androgens.

The mechanism of male arousal is complex and not well understood. Bottom line, they don't know. Stimulation involves direct influence by pathways in the brain and smooth muscle reaction to nitric oxide leading to engorgement of the chanels in the penis with blood. Venous valves close and keeps the blood in to maintain erection. If whatever causes the valves to leak slightly, a weaker erection results. Libido, or sex drive is another issue. I read dht is critical in having sex drive but it wasn't a scientific paper, so I don't know. The interplay between the mind (libido) and the effect on the male organ is one of the most incredible things there is. Enjoy it to the max. While you can.
