Hi i’m New in this forum. This topic is very intersting…i only used Propecia for 2 months and after one month i noticed a big shift in my sexual preferences…i’v been always truly interested in woman and after one month of usage i had a big Loss of libido…no more interest in having sex with my girlfriend and it is terrible for me…but what is more terrible is that i started to have strange sensation into my body…i started looking at men and when i looked at them i had like an explosion into my hearth and body…started to have no interest in women and no reaction of my penis…on the other hand Homosexual thought started to pop up into my mind and i had Also Homosexual urges…please believe me this is not a joke…i’m really depressed and scared…i have nothing but love for homosexual people and i’ve never had any problem to have gay friends…but a sudden change in my sexual preferences against my will and desire it’s really strange…
Hi actually this could indicste that sexual preferences are exchangable via levels of hormones, there has been studies than confirmed these with other hormoemnes, so… How are you feeling right now?
How i feel today? I am totally destroyed…i have homosexual urges…i’m attracted to guys…my life is destroyed…i’m in a very deep depression…i can’t get aroused by a girl no more…i’m very sad…
Dont worry mate you can recover.
Start working with a functional medical doctor and heal your entire body.
Since taking Propecia, I think I am slightly further up the Kinsey scale than before. Whereas before I would have rated myself a 0 (exclusively heterosexual), I would now rate myself a 1. I wouldn’t consider myself bisexual yet, but various events (including very occasional sexual arousal to homosexual acts) have led me to believe that I’m slightly less straight than before, even if to an insignificant degree.
Whether this has to do with the drug or whether it’s a coincidence is yet to proven. Afterall, I’m in my 20s, a period where many people discover more about or experiment with their sexuality. Another theory is that, since my libido has increased since taking the drug (I realise this is the opposite to what most here have experienced), it has made it more likely for me to be sexually aroused by different things in general.
However, given that the drug has been proven to cause sexual sides (including, in my case, gyno), I can’t find it hard to imagine it can affect sexuality too. I wouldn’t necessarily be angry if I was bisexual (who could complain about more sexual opportunities?) but it’s definitely a current topic of interest.
I am gay, since child. I think I was even more gay when I started Finasteride and later Dutasteride.
I stopped Dutasteride 8 months ago, replace it for lupron and estradiol. My libido came back (but sometimes it disappears) and I’ve been … straight for almost 3 months. And it’s disturbing. Because I have a boyfriend and because … I really don’t like “female personalities”.
I want to be gay again.
I could start Dutasteride again, but I think I need to stop it, because of androgen overexpression. Yeah I should quit Lupron and estradiol, but I have big gender issues… I really don’t want to be more manly. At least I’m not ready for that yet. Stopped Dutasteride was already pretty difficult.
It sounds crazy, but I’m not gay anymore. For years just watching an handsome man turned me on, but no it does nothing at all. Only women make me horny. I hate writing this.
You can pretend its all in my head. That I should be happy to be finally ‘normal’ but no for me it’s disgusting to be attracted to women…
I want to take Dutasteride again. But maybe it will worsen my symptoms (eyes/brain/pelvic/scalp/arms/… pain and I need to be cured from PFS.
My libido was almost no existent for at least 10 years, but I was still kinda gay… now my libido is here for 3/7 but I’m straight. Really don’t know what to do.
I would like a ‘cure’ to be gay again.
I tried Pregabalin (read an article about it) but its not really working. I’m going to try high dose (400-600mg), but its not a long term solution.
When did you start finasteride? Never had a sexual thought before related to girls?
Greetings
I started when I was 19.
I had a crush for a girl. But never had sexual thoughts about her, I didn’t realize it was weird to not want sex with her, never crossed my mind.
And … I met a boy and I understood I was kinda gay.
I really don’t like women… Never been attracted to them before.
My boyfriend is supportive but I think about women, its like I’m cheating on him. That’s so weird . i won’t leave him because our relation is precious.
This morning I took Dutasteride again … I really don’t like that but being straight is too disturbing for me. I know its weird.
Sorry for my poor english skills
Your English seems ok, I will definetly will not take dutas again (drug from hell). I can understand that you have been this way so much time that know it seems strange to adapt… I woukld never have expected gay ->hetero with finas, the other way makes more sense. Also you had a crush with a girl but not wanting to have sex, Im not Freud but how it was the relationship with your mother? 
Lol. Normal relation with my mother.
It’s just I didn’t have sex feelings for girls. Because of androgen over expression I’m no longer gay. Its so weird. I see a psychiatrist and he doesn’t believe me. Grrrr. I hope Dutasteride, even if its a poison, will make me gay again. Aaaarrgghh that’s so weird to say that.
I even feel more manly, not a faggot anymore lol, I miss that so much.
Sorry if I chock some people here.
Well when more man you are the more responsabilities and things to confront 
(and the more success), anyway you can be manly and gay or explore this new world or go back to the old you
No way. I cant love a woman. And I am in a relationship.
And I was gay, even if I was in love with a girl. I was absolutely gay, kissing boy when I was 6. I was too dumb to understand what that meant to be attracted to boys.
Hi @Xorack,
Are you the member who was taking the AR antagonist and experienced a full return of libido and sexual function?
How are you doing these days?
LoL AR antagonist? But not like finasteride? Did it make his receptors more manly? I want to know about that.
So what is your situation now? Low libido and atraction to girls? Could you expand? have you had sexual fantasis or mastubation to girls? Have you tried to see straight porn? I did try to see gay porn when I was feeling super femenin (noticing guys different!!! very diferent way around) and after 0.5sec I was sure i was not gay, as my primal part of the brain rejected it instantaneously. I would love to hear more about your story (I will not go with dutas again). And some other said did you take an AR antagonist?
Greetings
Sometimes I’m really frightened by this, I also suffered a shift in my sexual preferences, and it has caused me a lot of pain, so I wonder; even if the mental or the sexual side effects could be cured, would my sexual orientation be reversed? I lived most of my life as heterosexual, so this has been really traumatic.
When I was on Dutasteride my libido was nonexistent, actually when I started to take 1-2mg. Before that my libido was high and i was into men without hesitation and not interested at all in women (I tried).
When I stopped Dutasteride for Lupron+estradiol my libido came back, with other sides effects I mentioned earlier, like losing 70% of my hair on the top)
After some months I started to feel some inclination towards women and was becoming less interested in men. I feel like I’m now more manly (even if I’m castrated). I’m sure its because of androgen overexpression, post Finasteride syndrome. And there is nothing I can do about that. Maybe I could stop Lupron and estradiol, but I’m afraid of the pain (already stopped once for 4 months and it was a nightmare), I don’t want to have beard, more hair, to be more masculine. I’m insane.
I really don’t know what to do and months after months my situation worsens. I refuse to give up.
Being straight is almost as bad as being bald.
Yeah I watched porn. My favorite gay porn I used to adore (Belami)… and its like I’m watching two dogs fucking, I don’t want to offend zoophiles, but it lets me insensitive. Whereas straight porn give me hard cock and … you know …
Thats so disturbing. I was gay as fuck, and now…it’s gone.! I’m someone else.
I don’t know if taking Dutasteride again will change anything because I’m already on AA … and there is no way I will stop it… I’m stubborn.
Edit
This week Im fasting (7days non stop, only water) and taking sulforaphane 30mg each day. + lot of exercises (indoor cycling, 50km/day, maybe more) i hope it will help… but i don’t really believe it will.
Yeah. It’s disturbing. But you cannot be sure what’s going to happen. Maybe it will reverse by itself. Maybe not. Don’t be stupid like and never tale AA.
Okay, not an AR antagonist. I remembered it wrong. Very ineresting Lupron and estradiol reversed some sexual symptoms for you.
