I'm not sure how it's a strange phenomenon. There are 1,300+ lawsuits for permanent sexual dysfunction. More recent studies show increased problems the first year and the drug masking prostate cancer development. Drugs have risks, right? You can't blanket it as 100% safe because of a gay bar anecdote and ten acquaintances.

No, you can't, but the vast literature contradicts the claims of these lawsuits. Please see my comment and feel free to do a pubmed search. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20534351 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20534351

> drug masking prostate cancer development This is only an issue if you're over 50 and have trouble peeing (isn't that a sign of prostate cancer anyways?). Remember the demographic these are derived from. Propecia wasn't brought to market as a hair loss drug. > a gay bar anecdote and ten acquaintances. Yes let me get on hn to talk about sex. It's not like I can't delete this or anything.
