PFS has given me very low libido, but generally when I have libido my ED problem is not very severe.
Lately, not sure if due to DHT usage for few days a week ago when I was crashing, I have been having higher than usual libido but with serious ED problems.
Is that common here? I wonder why they are not very correlated (libido and ED) as one would expect…
Hi there,
I can just give you my side of it. I witnessed pretty much the same thing as you. There is no link between libido and the capability of getting an erection. It just so happens that both aspects are affected by Finasteride. I noticed several users refer to the terms “disconnect between the penis and the brain”, and that makes sense to me too. You start noticing this when libido starts coming back … slooooowly !!
In the early stages, I used Tribex (testosterone booster) and it worked fairly well to bring back some libido (from 0 to 10%, give or take), but had no effect on ED issues.
Again, I think it’s a matter of time before everything gets back to normal. I chose to avoid pills as much as possible, and give my body time to heal.
As I just posted in another thread, libido and ED should be correlated, but not directly.
Reason being because erections are multifactorial. Erections depends both on proper nerve function/blood supply and the effectiveness to which veins can be sealed.
I find that erections correlate quite strongly with libido, but sometimes ED is worse than average even when libido is better than average.
