Hi there I understand your concern...these are side effects of finasteride...Decreased sexual ability/desire may occur. In some men, this medication can decrease the amount of semen released during sex or masturbation...these side effects are secondary to decreased male hormones...consult your treating doctors and discuss the issues with them they will guide you further.
