I'm supposed to take finax 1mg tablets for the next three months, but I've read about side effects like loss of libido and erectile dysfunction. I'm really worried because I'm pretty sexually active and dont want it messing with my sex life. Can anyone give me an idea of how serious these side effects are or how much they might impact me?

I've been wondering about the effects of masturbating three times a week. Is there any truth to the idea that it could lower memory or weaken the brain? I'm just kinda worried and want to know if that's possible.
