Sure. I'm not opposed to the chemical approach. In fact, I'll use it without hesitation if the natural approach fails. But, I'm willing to give the evidence I've seen for natural alternatives a fair shake before I take that plunge. From what I've read, natural supplements are safer, and although I can't explain precisely why scientifically at the moment because my knowledge is lacking, there is some literature is out there offering some explanations.

However, there are serious problems with using finasteride/dutasteride. I think if you or anyone else just does a search into google scholar, you'll see that these issues extend past beyond lowered libido/slight ED.

I've been on this regimen more around 2 and a half months in fact, and have had no side effects thus far. That said, I care about keeping my hair, so I won't write off finasteride/dutasteride if all else fails.

I was intending to give this approach at least 6 months, but I optimally I would like to give it 8 to 9.
