Hi all, I’m wondering if you are able to give me some guidance. I used Propecia when I was 20 for 1 year to try and battle hair loss, this was 10 years ago. I didn’t notice any side effects when taking it, I stopped as I didn’t like the idea of taking the drug for the rest of my life.
In those past 10 years I have been successfully sexually active and able to get an erection apart from the odd occasion of drinking too much.
Fast forward to 2012, I met my long term girlfriend of 4 years. When we first got together I had trouble ejaculating and sometimes maintaining an erection. After a month or 2 together this subsided and I was able to get an erection very easily each time. Since then I think there was 1 time I couldn’t get an erection in the 4 years we were together.
Overall, there were a few issues with the relationship. She had drinking problems and was emotionally abusive. I couldn’t take this anymore so we broke up. This was 2 years ago now. Since then, it has been very difficult for me to get an erection with a new woman. My ex would just kiss me and I would get an erection, but with these women I don’t feel aroused even though I find them attractive.
I was worried so I went to the doctor and he did some blood work looking and my male hormones as well as things such as diabetes and heart conditions and everything came back normal.
I get morning wood most days of the week, I get turned on when I watch porn and am able to get an erection using my imagination to masterbate so I am not sure what’s going on.
I am not 100% over my ex, and because it was such a crazy relationship I don’t think this has helped me get over her any quicker.
I don’t know if this is emotional or physical or from using Propecia all those years ago. I’d appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks!
