Yes. Pretty soon you will loose the ability to have or maintain an erection. But fear not, as your sexual desire will be wrought to zero an'all.
In 4 years of using propecia i never had any problems keeping my erections, my sexlife was better then ever, never slept with more girls in my entire life then in this range of years. On the begening i had sencibility on nipples and this dissepeared 100%, i tought it was a major brest enlargement, catastrophic thing but it turn out to be nothing at all. The sencibility went off at 100% after some time.
But i had to stop because of testicular pain and probably prostate pain after 4 years. But no problems until then.
I think you should not be affraid to take Propecia anyways. Keep using it and see. IF the pain goes very strong then stop, until then, fight to keep your hairs.

NB: I saw Star trek Generations last weak end and i cryed when Kirk died. Man this is no way for Admiral Kirk to die, it was unfair.

I suffered the same reaction too and so lowered the dose to an 8th until my body could handle it. Im afraid you may be getting the first signs of gyno. I would reduce the dose or get off it as this could permantly give you enlarged breasts. I have slight gyno as a result so i know what im talking about. Alternativelly you could add an anti estrogen blocker to counter this side effect, but i wouldnt risk fooling about with the stuff unless you know what you are doing. Who knows what this could be doing to your body. On a more positive note however my body is beginning to tolerate propecia a little more and so i am now taking quater dose with no problems.

He cheated death. He rigged the outcome by self-immunizing himself from the effects of propecia by taking an anti androgen blocker one month before he started taking propecia. As a result he's still alive somewhere in the cosmos but wearing a piece.

How much propecia are you taking per day? I dont mind dropping my dose too. I'm at 1mg per day but am willing to cut that in half if it's gonna save me from the enlarged breasts. My libido has gone done too.
On an unrelated note, any try DHEA? (i'll do a search on it now)

I dose a 0.25mg of finestride daily and have done so for nearly two months starting my second time on the drug (at lower dose)
The first time was a year ago. I started at full dose 1mg and got all the nasty side effects you hear about after just two and a half weeks. I reduced the dose to half and it helped a little. I had no more brain fog but all the other symptoms were still present. I later tried a quater after just two weeks at 0.5mg, which significantly reduced most of the side effects. At this dose i had no sexual side effects, but i still got gyno, so i quit after a further 3 weeks using it.
I originally thought it was pointless to try an 8th, but unable to accept my hairloss i started propecia again at this dose which was enough to not give me side effects and at the very least slow my hairloss down. In time two months later i tried 0.25mg again, which is what i take now. I got slight breast tenderness for the first two weeks at this dose, which subsided mostly shortly after. Its my guess that my body could handle it more this time since being use to being exposed to the chemical changes from an even lower dose. I believe i may have developed some tolerance to the drug.

You have to keep a positive attitude too.. Everytime a person take propecia, it should say to himself, This product is harmlesse and in harmony with my body and be happy to take it! It's esay to say when you get the tenderness and the nut pain but anyways, it's positive so it's good!
