How Can Trans Men Still Have Erections And Libido Taking High Doses Of Antiandrogens?

[Baldy12345]

i cant argue and wholesomely agree with the last part of your comment, i felt it myself, for some reason i had this libido drop a week ago and i didnt have desire or drive to do anything, and it wasnt like i was depressed, it was more primal, like not having this genetic purpose of procreating and banging women removes your ambitions and strive to evolve as a man

This dude is experiencing every possible side effect on finastride and won’t stop complaining, WOW unlucky.

I have noticed my erection quality is a bit softer since starting spironolactone, still hard but not very hard. Im also on dutasteride and oral minxoidil. Nothing that bothers me too much.

But is it hard enough to allow you to perform? I guess that's where the line is drawn, right?

WHAts lol is people are like “ya bro no side effects just lower libido” but in reality they literally have no urge to f*** anything... when I finally got libido sides on finasteride I understood what people meant when they say “they can’t be bothered” for sex.... it literally feels like a chore rather than something fun and pleasurable.. f*** that, no libido is literally no drive for life

I wonder wtf is to dislike in someone sharing their experience. I keep hearing this sh*t... that losing libido is many times equal to losing drive in life... drive to do stuff, to struggle, to get somewhere. Of course, these things probably differ from person to person. Again, I am very surprised (shocked) that you are saying these things. I know you as one that usually defended (maybe even promotes) use of finasteride/propecia (though more temperate than others) so... yeah.... is you libido back now?

But we definitely want to know, right? We want to know/listen/read the good testimonials and the bad ones. In the end everyone will decide for themselves what to do but one should be aware pluses and minuses...

Look at the guy’s post history. He agonised over starting finasteride for months and was reporting multiple sides within days. Completely ridiculous.

Yes thank god, my libido is back had sex a bunch last night and things are back in motion... I’m thinking about cycling finasteride 3 months on and 2 off. I’ve been off and on it a couple times I’m sure sides are pretty much always reversible for me... my nips also look less puffy lately so there’s that lol

While that may be your personal preference, I do not think you gain a lot by doing so. You might want to do it, but it's not the smart thing to do. Go to a doctor, maybe more than one, and not just any doctor. Go to an endocrinologist, ask what they think, get your levels checked, and then take the pill to see what it does. Most importantly, do not overthink it. Millions of people take medicine to alter their hormones. And preferably do not come back to these forums if you can't handle it psychologically.

Every body is different and you do not really gain a lot by reading every testimonial. Imagine walking across the streets of your city and seeing all these bozos. Would you trust any one of them on such a serious matter as this? Sometimes you can tell that people are not really all that smart or even offensive. So their opinion shouldn't matter a lot to you. I would take everything, negative and positive, with a grain of salt.

How long have you been spironolactone? At what dose? Do you produce sperm?

Did you think that you would one day ask someone that question?

If I did, Sorry my bad. I forgot.

I just dont get it, trans people take high doses of spironolactone and sh*t like that and still they are supposedly sexually active, what the hell, where's logic in that

estrogen increases nitric oxide and dilates blood vessels, which should physically speaking actually help with erections..
However hormones can affect mentality which affects libido which affects erection ability. from my experience, libido is not really lost on trans regimens it just becomes different.

You were on a crazy regimen, right? How is going? Results? Sides?

still am, good results, lots of sides

 

[bridgeburn]

What's "different"?

You still get hard when looking at a beautiful woman?

no, I get hard when women give me attention

 

[bridgeburn]

Attention? You mean physical?

yes

 

[Manochoice]

I know I read your story many months ago but I would be curious to know a bit how it's going these days. Do you mind briefly telling us your road was so far? When you say lots of sides, which are they and being "lots" do they not bother you? If that's you in the profile image, damn! That is some hair. I remember your badge photo hair....

I have even more hair now than months ago.

lately Ive noticed that I'm really more sensitive to caffeine.. I've got less alcohol tolerance too.

other than that still the normal effects of the regimen. fat distribution, zero sperm, small boobs, crying easily. It doesn't bother me, I'm grateful to have experiences.

I'm absolutely loving having hair again. Its getting longer and I play with it all the time

Would be nice to have both but if I have to choose I definitely prefer my dick as a toy over playing with my hair. So do women in my life. I also like playing with their boobs and not them playing with mine. Thing is I am not willing to give an inch of anything I have and make me the being I am to gain hair so maybe I don't deserve regaining hair. You on the other hand are willing to sacrifice a lot and you seem to have already done that so you definitely deserve the hair you've got man! And for that I congratulate you as well as for being transparent w/ your efforts and results.

I still play with that too

I haven't lost any legnth. that only happens if you don't use it

why not both?

When I said not willing to lose an inch it was "poetic" speaking. Meant I am not willing to trade any of my current functions and state of being to gain hair back no matter how much I'd like to stop loss and regain. Finances would be the only thing but not health tokens.

Yeah, no I'll leave the boobs to the women...
