I just don't understand it and I really need some suport. Tonight my gf and I were going to have sex but I couldn't get it up. It's strange because I can get turned on with effort but my penis just doesn't feel the same way. Rather than telling her I couldn't get it up tonight though, I just pretended that I was sick so we couldn't have sex. I feel very guilty for doing so, and less of a man consequently and I just need to vent. The gf and I were screwing like animals about 4x per week 2-4 months ago. Recently, like over the last month I've noticed that it is VERY hard for me to get it up...we can't even have sex! It is not her because I have the same feelings for her that I always have had. Something just happened and I don't know what. Do Propecia sexual sides hit you late in the game?...been on it for 2 years now. Not much of a libido either but she's horny as hell. I feel like I can't satisfy her and I told her that but she says I do. aww cute, bla bla. Anyway, I've tried L-arginine 2x per day for over a month...not much of any improvement in libido, ginko biloba 2x per day...don't notice a thing, and now Asian Ginseng, which is supposed to help with ED(started about a week ago) 2 pills per day...noticed slight increase in hardness of the rare full erections I get and I am now very hopeful. I hate even saying ED but that's what it feels like to me. I am considering going off of Propecia but I like having my NW2 hair. I'm freaked out if I stop because my dad went bald in his early to mid twenties and I'm almost 21 <sucks I have these problems at a young age. I do not want to go bald, call me vain or conceited but I want to keep my hair. Any suggestions on what I should do or any input at all from anyone?

Just my opinion but I'd think that any sexual sides would have come up (no punn intended) sooner than 2 years.

Definitely talk to a doctor.

You'll definitely want to see a doctor.

You could always try Enzyte as well:

I can testify to Ensyte working--

but they charge you $70 to get a 3-month's supply - 1 month of which is "free."

I bought it at a local GNC store. I like it.

i doubt it could be the Propecia given the length you have been on it, it's either older age, or probably something mentally.

I used to have a problem with ejaculating from intercourse, and once you get in your head, its tough, I would say it's mental anxiety

with all do respect bubka, you do not understand. i have the same exact symptoms and they came after 6 months on propecia. I have been on it for a year and a half and still have almost no sex drive whatsoever. im worried that it cannot be reversed without going off propecia. im still researching though

does v**** or cialis work if you dont have a sex drive to begin with


Tried both (as an experiment), and both work like a charm..

use v**** when you want bonner in 15 min.. and will last for 4 hours
but personally i prefer cialis , since for me effect start showing after 1 hr and stay there for almost 36 hours.. .. more time for more bang....

If you are convinced Propecia causes limp penis syndrome why the F do you come here and ask about it?

Just stop taking it.

By the way Propecia does not stay in the system more than a couple days at most, so stop taking it and see if you have an erection.

Stop this stupid "BOO HOO My schlong is soft" horsecrap already.

Piss or get off the pot.

Joe.

hey joe,

I never thought about going off propecia before, thanks!
The point is that I want to keep my hair and get erections. Perhaps next time I'll draw it out for you in crayon so you can understand. Also, I think the effects of propecia last long after it is out of the body. It may be that the hypothalmic balance is off. not sure.

No carrots sunshine!

Problem is, if you are certain a little pill prevents you from attaining wood, there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Shave your head or give up erections.

I take Propecia and it sickens me how people are convinced by fear that this pill prevents erections in some.

IT CAN'T!

It can only reduce libido. That is not the same thing as erectile dysfunction.

I apologize for my tone, but misinformation angers me as you have now further spread this lie-disease and some other poor guy is going to get soft next time he's in the sack because of you.

Joe.

First STOP taking Propecia right now.. In a couple of weeks, maybe three, you will wake up with a big stiffy, and you will be happy about that.

Then, you reduce your intake of Propecia and see if that helps. Maybe .75, or .5 everyday or whatever.. See if those sides return.

And start taking some of GNC Men's Arginmax (its a blend of L-Arginine) maybe a multi V... I nailed some b**ch for hours on this stuff.. but that was before propecia.

Research some topicals, pick one or two use it. Post progress..

*or try dutasteride.. see if you get the sides.
either way post progress

i actually stopped propecia for 3 weeks and my libido/erections partially returned, so im back on at .25mg a day. sides are back in full force.

joe,
my purpose is to figure out a solution where I can take propecia AND get erections. Saying that its one or the other is ignoring the question and misinformation itself, you dont know that. secondly, erections and libido are causally connected. I dont get erections because my libido is lowered, true. additionally however, in my experience even when i am sufficiently aroused, I dont get erections fully or at all. The point is that there is a complex hormonal balance being manipulated with propecia, Im trying to figure out what I can do to save my hair and have a normal sex life. so if youre going to continue reposting your black and white response with take or dont, then do so, but I understand your point.

well i don't know what to tell you, ED on propecia is 1.3% vs .7% placebo, not even outside of the margin of error

how old are you guys again?

I'm 25. It's strange, I had an overactive sex drive before taking propecia. Also, the only 3 people I know personally who take it also had sexual sides and they're my age. Im not trying to be a scare-monger, it just seems that the statistics are off a little.
