Downvote all you want, but this is a classic case of a nocebo. "the group informed about the sexual adverse effects of finasteride reported increased incidence of ED, when compared to the group without information" Ironically, all the fear mongering has made the issue worse. "To date, there is no evidence-based data substantiating the link between finasteride and persistent sexual side effects in the numerous double blinded, placebo controlled studies using finasteride 1 mg for hairloss." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3481923/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3481923/
