a few questions/thoughts on propecia.

(i) has it been shown in any way to lower other testosterone levels apart from DHT?
(ii) if not, then does lower DHT inhibit building massive muscles?
(iii) has the reason for some men experiencing erectile dysfunction been studied? I just find it strange that erectile dysfunction is by and large a problem with vascularity, which propecia does not inhibit in any way from my understanding.

A logical explanation would be that ALL of those men who experienced erectile dysfunction ALSO experienced low libido. Hence, the low libido was the real cause of the erectile dysfunction. This would make sense and would put my mind at ease because when I used to hear about erectile dysfunction being associated with propecia, I assumed it was causing problems on a much deeper and fundamental level of the body...

any one who has erectile dysfunction from it care to comment?

(iv) is there ANY evidence that sperm count is lowered when on it & can you not try and knock up your Julie while your on it?


* I know I could have started a new thread, but I thought it would be really nice if this thread stayed alive so we could have one comprehensive propecia journal.
