I was under the impression Propecia was used to shrink the prostate and kill DHT at the same time. The side effects are a few, most noticeable growing hair.

It should shrink the prostate and what was left of the semen should become seminal fluid.  It is not much.

Sexual gratification seems to arise from dopamine (ie l-tyrosine).  I take dexedrine and dusastride and I spit up 3-5 times a day like I did when I was 10 years old on my blanket, no problem.

I would have started dusastride 14 years ago when I first started pulling out my mustache.  I glad I did not develop body hair.
