Question about finasteride sides

[Arcturus]

Hello all, i've got a couple of questions. First, im on finasteride exactly 1 year. My hair feels better overall, more thick so i know its working. I took 1mg/day for half a year, all was fine, till one day i had sex with my gf while suddenly my dick died in the middle of it. Got worried, because i already knew that could be from propecia. Started googling in put all my intention and mind into it, and things got even worse. In next week in could not get it up all before sex, like it died totaly. I know it may be mental, but still. Got off finasteride for a two weeks and everything got back to normal. After month i restarted, 0.5mg/every other day. And here i'm again. Cant get it up for my gf, while i can masturbate few times a day with rock hard erections without a problem and have night wood all the time. But i admit it got to my mind a bit. When i know i'll have sex i always wonder if my dick would respond or not. Anyone with similar experiances?
What to do? Drop finasteride or is it just mental thing? If so, how overcome that? Thanks a lot my friends!

That happened to me. I Think when I was whacking it though I was literally finding the most stimulating weird **** to get it going tho.

Be glad your went back after 2 weeks. The ED part passed quick when I stopped (all 3 times) but there were other sides that werent so easy to get rid of.

Been debating on if fourth times a charm though with maybe like .5mg every other day.

Hey, thanks to reply. The thing is, i would understand if also during fapping my erections weren't 100%, but thats not the case. I would know then something is blocking it in my body. But since i only happens b4 sex, otherwise during fapping i can hang a towell on my dick and it still stands See my point? I realy don't know what to think anymore. Maybe i've got p**rn induced ED or something. Thanks again, i'll try with EFT to get it out of my head, then we'll see what happens.

Arcturus, it sounds mental because you can perform no problem on your own and you are getting nighttime erections. If you decide to quit again, I would do it very slowly.

SW747, if you had issues 3x then can't see why no. 4 would be different.

Yeah after my current T numbers from bloodwork Im not trying it again.

As for the OP Im telling you the same thing happened to me.
Its prob a big part mental since you are probably at a point where your GF may not turn you on as much and there is performance anxiety BUT
if your whacking it you are looking at SPECIFICALLY what turns you on at THAT moment whether its a hot chick, midget, tranny, donkey.... man Im screwed!

But take into consideration the amount of time it takes to get it up when whacking it and how long the erection will stick around if you stop without finishing.
Get blood work if you are worried.
