HRT + Finasteride libido question

[CatBlack]

I'm thinking of taking finasteride to keep from losing my hair, or at least to stop from losing any more.
I'm 8 months on hrt and my sex drive isn't too high or low. It's pretty nice where it's at, still being a little bit high but not irritating.

I was wondering how drastically the drop in libido via finasteride would be? I don't want to feel asexual, or lack the desire to be with someone I love. But I also want to feel attractive and I really don't want to wear a wig.

I've been on finesteride for a year and 2 months now,  and my libido is almost non-existant.  Its a relief to not have a constant powerful sex drive getting in the way of everything, but I also find it hard to get off when I actually want to.  My lack of sex drive is ruining my relationship with my girlfriend, she thinks its because I don't find her attractive, which isn't true at all, I just have lost my dominant male sex drive.

On the flip side I feel like my hair doesn't look like it's thinning anymore!

The deeper I got into transition, the more I found my previous sexuality repulsive and dysphoria-inducing.  It was a relief, frankly, to have it slow to a standstill.  And yes, this has an impact on relationships, but going through transition is going to, in most cases (not all), result in relationships coming to an end anyways. 

All that said, it probably isn't a bad idea to occasionally stimulate those nerves down there, just to keep them active enough so that when you get to the other side it's not as difficult to get the electricity working again.
