How legitimate are the sexual side effects of hair loss meds? If they're significant, then with hair or without hair I wouldn't be able to have a sex life since my dick wouldn't work, and I refuse to have sex while bald or balding. Zero sum game.
But maybe the side effects are overblown. Anyone tried them before?

Side effects appear in ~3% of users, and they go away upon discontinuation of use. Post Finasteride Syndrome is a myth, there's no proof of it's existance and it's probably caused by Munchausen syndrome, just like most of the side effects. Haircafe on youtube is the best source for anything hair related, although some find his voice annoying.

Given that post-finasteride syndrome is not real, using finasteride is a no-brainer. If you're one of those unlucky fuckers in that 3% that experiences a side effect, just discontinue using it. Even then many users who experience side effects report no longer feeling side effects after titrating the dose to 0.2 mg per day or using it every other day. Let's say hypothetically post-finasteride syndrome was real, which it's not. Then the odds of getting it are still like one in a gazillion. If you want to be a man, you got to have some courage.

Is he on fin? It’s a simple question
>>
>>77253919
your hair stops falling out
nothing else is different
don't listen to the retards
>>
>>77253919
2 years on it, no side effects so far, recovered some slight hairline even. Using minox too
>>
My dick stopped working
>>
>>77253967
don't side effects resolve for most people even with continued use as the body adjusts to medication?
>>77253919
bear in mind that the majority of people who will even think of writing about their finasteride usage online are either the vocal minority who got sides or people who are extremely obsessed with losing hair, which you are trying to make yourself be by reading that shit and starting a thread here. stop reading so much about side effects online and just try it. there's a pretty low chance you get them and you if you do, they're not permanent and you can just stop. you're probably concerned about your receding hairline or diffuse thinning, so you might as well before it's too late and you're relegated to being a baldie without ever having done anything to combat it
>>
>>77253919
made me feel like shit and my libido dropped, pushed for a few more weeks, didn't adapt so I stopped, everything went back to normal a few weeks after quitting, your mileage can vary, it's worth trying, I'm just unlucky, it doesn't mess with most people
>>
>>77254026
what was your dose? i started 5 days ago on 1mg and yet to feel anything - still horny, still getting hard, maybe semen became a bit more watery but i've had this on and off a few times randomly after age 30 anyway
>>
>>77254039
1mg once a day, don't think about it or you're gonna self inflict yourself with ED, you'll realize if it happens
>>
>>77253919
I'm so sick of you bald faggots and your hair tonic threads.
Go find some other place to post this non-fitness related chrome dome bullshit

That too
>>
I have had issues with my dick since I started it. Whether its coincidental or not is another matter. I've since stopped it and my dick hasn't really gone back to normal. Maybe it is from wanking too much, but this issue did not arise until I started taking finasteride. Make of that what you will.
>>
>>77253919
Do topical if you're so worried
>>
>>77253919
I have not had any side effects. less than 3% of people on get side effects, and during the double blind trials, about 1.5% of people on the placebo got side effects. So probably mostly mental, or maybe it is people who are really out of shape or overweight. Also, keep in mind that people who do have side effects are far more likely to go online and talk about it then people who have no sides, which can skew perspective. I held off for a couple years cause I was scared of sides, and I shouldn't have.
>>
>>77254052
I agree. They're just recruiting other insecure anon to their bald cult.
>>
>>77254148
I'm the guys that had sides but they disappeared after stopping, I'm healthy 5'11 180lbs 15%bf, I'm not sure it's related, granted I do lose my boners from milder anti dht stuff like saw palmetto so I'm probably just extremely sensitive to that type of stuff, I think I grew up high dht converter as I was already getting hairy at 12yo and my dick grew really large really early during puberty as well
>>
>>77254207
Interesting! So much for my theory. Something must be at play, though. Glad it stopped when you stopped
>>
>>77254286
yeah, I'm lucky I got a good head shape as well, I realized what women and people don't like is a balding man, or a bald man that looks like he's sick, if you're fit and healthy no one gives a shit and you'll still get laid and women attention as long as you got rizz
>>
>>77253919
yeah its real. lost semen volume and made it more liquid. i shoot elmers glue now
got cool hair though
>>
Trooned out wog
>>
Not worth it.

Find a different way. At the very least, use topical finasteride at the lowest concentration possible.
>>
>>77253919
they're a miracle genuinely, I waited too long to hop on because of online fearmongering. fin/min recovered and thickened my hair a lot, zero side effects and it's just part of a normal routine
>>
>>77253919
there is a non-zero chance it will fuck u up permanently.
its not worth the risk brah. find some other way.
>>77253967
that what they told me about fluoroquinolone and I got floxed, spent a year walking in crutches, and i still have residual pain.
it doesnt matter what the overall % is because if it happens to you then its 100% of your reality.

>I refuse to have sex while bald or balding
what
