I'm speaking here from my personal experience. I've never had any sexual side effects from using either! I know people do have them, however, I think the majority don't. It's really a personal choice on what you decide to do.

I also say take this into consideration. Many men from their 30s to 50s. Many of those with or without meds find that their sex lives change a bit during that time as well.

 

I wonder how many would have issues anyway.

Singam,

 

While this issue always leads to interesting discussion on the forums, I wanted to present a few objective pieces of information:

 

First, according to Merck, the company responsible for Propecia (finasteride), the FDA approval trial demonstrated a <3% rate of sexual dysfunction and a complete reversal after stopping the medication.

 

Second, in a recent study, Japanese researchers found a 0.7% rate of sexual dysfunction, which is far lower than the original FDA approved statistic: Japanese Propecia Study

 

I truthfully feel for any individual suffering long-term sexual dysfunction, but I simply wanted to present a few piece of objective information to keep the discussion balanced.
