    Default hairloss,porn and propecia

    ok intersting title right??

    i feel i should elaborate. i like most men here am balding, im a norwood 2.5 but very optimistic, see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. anyway im now 14 months into my take of propecia but.....regarding side effects its hard to tell am im addcted to porn. ive been addicted to porn for a long time now and it has desensitised me somewhat so obv my erections are not great as they could be. my last sexual experience was a month ago and i couldnt perform!!! during the course of the last 14 months and before that my sex life has been good and bad, theres been times when the sex has been amazing and times when because of my porn usage its been disappointing, so finally im curing myself of my porn addiction.

    theres no point asking me "well is your libido lower because thats what porn addiction does.

    anyway long stroy short, 2 weeks ago i started this "free your mind" DIY help guide for people like me. its been 2 weeks since ive even looked at porn!!its very tough and i expect my libido to be up and down. they said i will have to abandon pleasure of viewing and physical for two months!,maybe more! my guess is that if after this period my mind will become stimualted properly to sexual activity and after this period if my erections are not functioning normally i believe its the propecia.

    anyway for people wanting to know what happens to some who have erectile dysfucntion before propecia here goes...i will update further soon.

    sex on my friends. go forth and sex on....

    Holy crap, what a coincidence. This is just what I have started. I was already masturbating like once a day on porn before taking proscar for a year or two, and continued up to now 4months into proscar.

    Just lately, my friend opened up my mind to the dangers of porn , check yourbrainonporn.com, where addiction to porn ****s up your dopamine senses and masturbation doesn't become enjoyable and you can't get it up when with a girl because you made your dick adapted to hardcore stimuli ( multiple tabs of HD porn).

    This made me scared shitless of sexual ED and delayed ejaculation so I have decided to try and abstain from porn and masturbation until I feel I have fixed my issue (they say it takes anywhere between 8 weeks-3months). Problem is now that I've been off porn for 5 days I have lost all my libido and obviously my mind plays tricks on me saying its the finasteride which is causing it but now I doubt it.

    Just going to take a break and hopefully after a month or two , my penis will come back to normal.

    fyi: some people say abstinence from excessive masturbation or sex may be beneficial for your hair, lets hope they are right.

    yeah 2 weeks in so far is tough. i read up on that before, apparently masturbation doesnt affect hair loss but id say excessively it does. either way i feel it will be worth it in the end, if i think after a few months its still not right, maybe the propecia is to blame.

    btw are you on a total ban?? like mine includes no stimuation of any kind, be it mental or physical. even walking down the street i try not to look!!

    what nw are you at the moment??

    Yes, porn ruins your sex life because you expect more from the female your having intercourse with. You expect this female to have big boobs, big ass, slim body, and a gorgeous face like most porn stars Or even performing sex, you expect or want them to do different positions that you see in porn movies but the female doesn't feel comfortable doing so and ruins your mojo. I myself was into porn a lot but I relies it was ruining it for me because I expected MORE. I kept ruining relationships that were great but because of my sexual needs I blew them all off.


    I would delete all your porn that you have and every time you think of masturbating punch your penis.

    EDIT: I'm 23 NW 0.5-1 minor diffuse on the right temple.

    Well no, I still take some glimpses of women in the streets but sometimes I manually stimulate myself just to check if its working or not. It seems I have forced my penis only to respond to porn or my hand which sucks.

    I am a NW 2 diffuse thinner, you can check out my story in start your own topic forum, its in the first page with pictures of before and after.

    Problem is, now I can't get it up unless watching porn or using my hand. I feel like I have a complete loss of libido. At first I didn't think I was causing any harm to myself and masturbation was normal so I found it hard to quit but now I really feel it can **** you up temporarily.

    Its both, propecia makes your **** soft and you have less sperm, been there done that.
    masturbation and hardcore porn screw your brain up, dont do it.
    When you really have to masturbate do it without porn,

    Well, how can I tell if im experiencing sexual side effects due to finasteride or porn addiction? I mean I can get it up for porn or using manual stimulate, semen volume was same pre-finasteride.

    Porn addiction is going to make it "difficult" to just get aroused by the sight and scent of an actual female, in the wild, with clothes on.

    You've seen the movie Shawshank Redemption? Remember the scene in the movie theatre where Rita Hayworth throws her hair back and all the guys freak out? yah that wouldn't happen today. Now it would take ample cleaveage bouncing to get that kind of reaction.

    Desensitization has occured in nearly all aspects of society from financial common sense (credit cards!) to sexual arousal (why work for it when I can go to youporn and watch some hot chicks go at it).

    The last gal I dated (sadly way to long ago) I had that sweet moment back at our cars chatting after a few hours in the bar and just getting turned on by her. THAT feeling was real, unlike watching thePr0ns and getting turned on.

    Bro that happened to me also. I was talking 2.5 mg of finasteride and I masturbated every day. One time I was with my gf and my erections didnt last too much. So what I did was I stopped fin for a month and a half, then I tried to masturbate without watching porn, because porn is such a big stimulus that real life is nothing !

    Also bro before masturbate wait to have 2 or 3 erections. That way your libido is going to increase and your erections are going to be more frequent and longer!

    I hope my advice can work for you!
