Rogaine kills your gains!!!

[UpcomingStallion]

I think that Minoxodil and ED link is a myth.. it's in people's head.
Minoxidil is vascular dilator... how it can cause ED? While it's definately getting in your blood (not only on the head) there is no way it could affect it to the point of ED
As a comparision:
Alcohol- vascular dilator, in small quantities helps virility
Tea/coffee - vascular dilators, proven to help erections
Virility foods: (chilies/ginger.. etc) all vascular dilators
And of course.. VIAGRA - Vascular Dilator

The "internet urologist" should know how penis works and that smooth muscle is way stronger then any blood veins in your body

There is definately changes in your body when Minoxidil hits it.. but ED.. it's all in your head

Wow really? This is so ill informed. S55...you can't go making those assumptions just because it is a certain way for you. Why not do some more research and see how many other people have complained about losing their libido, even shrinkage of the flaccid penis. This isn't ALL IN THE HEAD, that's the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. I know my penis very well, and I can tell if something is wrong. I've never once had ED in my life, in fact I have the opposite...I get hard all the time. When I started taking the liquid 5% rogaine I could barely get 80-90% erections, and it wouldn't last very long. 1-2 weeks after stopping use everything is back to normal. It was not in my head, because I had no idea rogaine could do that. I started to notice the problem and realized it started RIGHT when I began Rogaine.

Here is a review site that gives it a 2.1 out of 5...

It's funny how OVER 75% of people reporting side effects are reporting loss in libido/sex drive. This is not a coincident, to say rogaine has nothing to do with a loss of libido in some men is just...flat out ignorant.

Edit:

It doesn't cause full ED...just a serious loss in sex drive (mind you this is obviously not the case for everyone, but just because it's not the case for you doesn't mean other people don't have a problem...) because it dialates the base of the penis, blood can escape from the shaft making it harder to maintain and hold a solid erection.

Stallion, I'm sorry if I offended you.. I was speaking of ED and my experiences.
I don't have any medical knowledge but I firmly beleive in common sense.
I also don't beleive in forums or anything on the internet. People will blow up anything just to make themselves feel better.

There is one thing that I 100% agree with you: It's different for everyone and it cann't cause long term effects.
As far as libido, of course it will affect your libido.. it's a vascular dilator.. hence the heart palpitations and hot flashes.. you body has to adjust. I had hot flashes too.. and yes when my heart is racing my cock is not getting hard all the time.

That's why I said give it time, if after 1 month you still have side effects - quit! everything will go back to normal

Another thing is don't overdo it.. people are impatient you can see it on every forum:
- Here on pegym.. "it's been two weeks, I have no growth.. I overtrained"
- On my racing forum.. "I adeed X and Y and my lap times didn't improved.. and then my engine blew up"
- With rogaine.. "It's been three days, I see no results, I have horrible side effects and my 'one month bottle' is finished"

As UpcomingStallion said: It doesn't cause ED, if you quit it all goes back to normal, so my advice: Try it, give it some time and see if you like it.
It worked for me, I didn't get OMFG amazing results, in 5 month I did get a lot of small black hairs growing and it definately looks much better

And yeah.. don't beleive the forums.. try it youself and use common sense

I agree with you. I am using this since last one year. I never seen any kind of issue with my health. I feel pretty good when I take this in a day.

[ThinkBigThoughts]

I'm another person who has not experienced this thank God, I've used minoxidil for 6 months with no side effects whatsoever.

[Subro]

I've been using Minoxidil-based drugs for the last 3 years - Rogaine liquid form and then Rogaine Foam for the last 2 years. I started PE during my usage and I have only experienced stronger erections and an increased libido (along with size gains). I don't remember suffering any sexual side-effects from topical use.

[miami-cock]

I've been taking minoxidil foam for a few years and it worked good for a while but now it's not and I'm losing more hair. I hate it. 2 girls I know made a little joke about my hair and it pissed me the fuck off but played it off and didn't say shit to them. It's also made me gain weight too. I'm quitting it this month and gonna accept the hair loss. Besides the weight gain, It hasn't affected my penis. I've gained 1 inch in the past 5 months

I'm glad yours went back to normal. I'm left with a penis glans that is soft. I only used minoxidil liquid 5% for 3 days and this is the result. I'm just 24 and never had problems before. I stopped using it but it has passed 3 months and still isn't restored. The glans of my penis can't hold the blood any more. It goes big for 1 second and shrinks immediatly while my penis stays hard. It was always really hard and big but that doesn't happen any more. I never had this before. When I googled minoxidil it I understood that minoxidil caused this as many MANY others got it after using minoxidil. Some recover some never do. I never wish this upon anyone. I destroyed my life. I'm left with excepting it...

So it should be called.... Nogaine?

I'll be here all night.

What about propecia? Affects gains?

[Omega male]

been on propecia and rogaine for 22 days now, no side effects.
sex drive is still through the roof.
though I think I have experienced some sort of shrinkage but I believe it is a combination of psychological and stopping PE for too long.
