Not everyone can grow good beards, though. If you don't have the right face shape or facial hair pattern or texture, it doesn't work.
Also, some folks have sensory issues that make having facial hair a permanent discomfort. This guy.

Lots of people on that forum are taking that stuff.
Also Tabris is trying to have a kid:
Tabris wrote:I've noticed a slight bit of thinning at my crown. Only slightly noticeable in the right lighting conditions but since I'm 40, I want to get ahead of these things as if you don't catch it in time, much harder to solve. And also it just makes styling my hair a bit harder / have to get haircuts often otherwise the thinner hair can sometimes look bad at the crown when it gets too long.
I just started topical minoxidil first once a day as the side effects from that seemed very minor so outside of potential waste of money, I saw no harm. I may also do PRP treatments as the only negative seems to be cost/money. But those are just 50/50 kind of deals whether they have any impact at all. My wife says it seems to be getting thicker but that may be texture change.
But I've been tempted to ask about taking a .25mg low dose of Finasteride as I know that's the one thing that has a very high chance of having some kind of impact.
Issue is me and the wife are trying for pregnancy right now so they don't recommend it (at least online, haven't talked to doctor or our fertility clinic). I would have less concerns if the side effect was ED because you can solve ED with Viagra and whatever the other one is called. My concern is my current sperm count and motility is good (at least from tests a couple months ago) right now but if that's impacted, that will make pregnancy harder. If we end up doing IVF at some point (we got like 6 months of trying natural way with some hormone medication for my wife and testing/knowing our cycle), then probably won't be an issue then as they'll test my sample to make sure it's good.
Anyone here have experience with trying to have a child while taking finasteride? Tabris wrote:Question, are the potential (less than 5%) permanent side effects just associated with libido/ED? The sperm impacts are temporary that if you come off, you'll be fine?
I don't mind libido being permanently affected. I'm married now so even if my libido isn't there, the emotional aspect is there to want to make love so I can override the physical desire with mental desire. And as I mentioned above, ED is easily fixed nowadays. During my party days I would use viagra once in a while recreationally to balance other drugs / heavy drinking that would cause ED. Haven't used it in forever but wouldn't bother me to get a prescription if needed.
But yeah, the sperm impacts or ability to ejaculate may scare me.

Not clicking the thread but mentioned in the past about young men struggling with the balance of supplemental testosterone for muscle and estrogen for hair growth. It’s kind of amazing. Some give up and want to be grotesque muscle beasts and get a hair transplant. One of the popular inspirations is a dude in his early 20s, Sam something, juiced out of his mind. Looks like the Bane from Batman and Robin but gasping for air when talking and heaps of acne.

Someone dig up the thread where Tabris was boasting about how his friends with kids were all boring and he wasn't.
Hilariously, he's gonna be that one friend with young kids while the rest of his social circle is going to have teenagers and they will want to head out for adult activities and bitch arse Tabris will have to drag a pram and 17kgs of stuff along.
Sooner or later they'll stop inviting him because he's such a pain in the arse complaining that they don't do kid-friendly activities or he'll be the one arsehole that takes a toddler to an art gallery or adult-oriented performance and disrupts everyone else.
That's IF his impotent cock can manage to put one in her after he's ODed on hairgrowth medication.

Olivia was great as Pyslocke but after that movie bombed she never got any big movies anymore.
I thought she'd be back with all the videogame movie adaptations as she could really hold her own in dynamic action scenes but that hasn't happened. Maybe too old now?
Perfection.
