QUOTE - Charles decided to start taking Propecia, the only FDA-approved oral medication for male-pattern baldness. For the next 6 years he tolerated the drug fairly well. But he noticed one odd side effect: a random, intermittent decline in his sex drive. "I'd be with a sexy woman, and there was just no interest at all on my part," he recalls. "If anything, it was almost like I felt mild repulsion." Over time, these unpredictable episodes became less frequent, and he convinced himself that they'd just been some weird hormonal glitch.
By 2009 Charles was in a secure, loving relationship. At this point, his fear of baldness had lost much of its hold on his self-confidence, so he decided to quit Propecia. For the first few weeks he felt fine. Then, without warning, his libido suddenly vanished; it was almost as if a switch had been thrown. At the same time, he lost all pleasurable sensations in his penis. This one-two punch made achieving and sustaining an erection nearly impossible for him. Trying to stem his panic, he told himself these were just withdrawal symptoms from Propecia, that he'd soon go back to normal.

The question is, what other price could they end up paying? Researchers have known for some time that finasteride induces "sexual adverse events" in a statistically significant minority of men who take it. Consider one study published back in 2003 in the journal Urology. The researchers followed 3,040 men ranging in age from 45 to 78, all of whom suffered from prostate enlargement—another condition finasteride is approved to treat. In the study's first year, 15 percent of the men on finasteride suffered new sexual side effects, compared with only 7 percent of the men on placebos.
"There were real, ill effects from the drug," recalls lead investigator Hunter Wessells, M.D., chairman of the department of urology at the University of Washington school of medicine. "In some men, finasteride caused erectile dysfunction; in others it decreased ejaculate volume; and in others it reduced libido."
