Dutasteride and it's effect on Erections

General

I’ve been on finasteride for about a year, the past 2.5 months I decided to go up to dutasteride for the benefits to skin and as I had had no sides on fin.

I noticed an increase in energy and libido initially with dut, however over the past few days I’ve found it hard to sustain an erection.

It’s odd as I can wake up with a rock hard erection and I can be hard when my girlfriend touches me etc, but when we go to actually have sex he fails me.

I’m not sure if this is performance anxiety, but I’ve been with my girlfriend for nearly 4 years and have no anxiety around sex with her.

My semen has also become very watery nearly completely clear and it does seem like sometimes it takes a while to get harder but I have only noticed this after I failed to get an erection before sex, so it could be anxiety.

Any tips or ideas to get over it? Id rather not stop dut as I feel great on it and swear I’m building muscle faster. But I can’t have ED at 23 years old.

hey, it’s possible that the switch to dut is affecting your erections. morning wood suggests that the function is there, so anxiety might play a role too. if the changes are recent, give it some time to see if things stabilize. if you continue to have issues, consider discussing a lower dose or switching back to fin.
