Guys -

My name is Adam - I've posted on here before as Josh. I am one of the men stuck in a castrated state post finasteride (Propecia) and I have started a podcast to help the thousands of men around the world that are in this shitty position. I was hoping to interview someone on my podcast that ...

Given propecia knocks out the conversion route from T to DHT, and that DHT is the active hormone for most of the effects of T and not T itself besides basically just skeletal muscle, have you asked about any of the other routes of getting DHT in your system? I think they do a cream or gel, or DHT ...

Regarding the penile numbness, are you by any chance an avid bicyclist? Numbness caused by compression of the penile nerve is a well known side effect of long periods on a bicycle saddle, particularly narrow racing style saddles. Failing that, any history of back problems, or diabetes, both of ...

Thanks for the advice. Its get to know that someone with severe nerve damage can overcome it. I have been on the pregnalone for about 2 weeks and have noticed my sleep seems to have improved. Nothing has improved with penile sensation, but I am going for a message this weekend. I am trying to ...

Remember, you are just a number to your doctor, and especially the pharmaceutical companies; not to disparage your GF . . . I'd be amiss to think she did not know, or did not discount the 'margins' of side-effects reported. That's what a physician does. 1-in-a few thousand deaths, etc., = go-ahead ...

One more question - I know you guys think Cheney's is a quack...and I will take your word for it. One of
the side effects of castration

that I either read in his book or saw somewhere else is crazy premature wrinkling of the skin and bags under the eyes....is this true or not for most eunuchs? I ...

Thanks for the advice. Yes...I won't be chopping anything off anytime soon....I've only been stuck with the PFS for a little more than 2 years...so much like Winston Churchill(who had a naturally extremely low libido coincidentally) said, I have just begun to fight. This(thinking about ...

Guys - I appreciate your concern for me...but I am not suicidal. I needed comforting words about 6 months ago when I WAS suicidal, but now I am starting to accept what Propecia did to my endocrine system.

I have been to several endos, and a PFS specialist. Basically - no amount of exogenous hormone ...

Something I've not seen anyone mention here is that you read that book by Victor Cheney... As far as I know, we eunuchs have pretty much denounced him as a quack. So please take what those of us who are castrated say more seriously than anything he does.

In your case, other than your mentioning ...

Yes...I should have stated that different. Most of the Propecia guys do not have low T...but for some reason our body doesn't use most of it. And thank you for the pregnalone tip...I am off to GNC now to get a bottle.

The issues with Propecia don't occur with every man...in fact, some estimate it is only 1 out of 100. But there is no way of telling if you are the 1, or the other 99. Young men, IMO, should never take this drug as it is like playing Russian Roulette with your sexual and mental health. If you take ...

I have tried to find this out through my own research - I read Castration by V. Cheney - but he doesn't mention it. Are the side effects of penile numbness and insomnia, in particular, common with a castrated man?? Also - the crazy part of PFS (Post Finasteride Syndrome - the Propecia disease) is ...

Hello -

My name is Derek, I am a 36 year old high school teacher, and I am thinking about castration. I am male, identify male and am straight. Here is my story....please let me know what you think I should do:

About 3 years ago I started taking Propecia, for my mild hairloss. After less than a ...
