For me it's impossible to tell any difference as I had a full head of hair when I started, only very light receding, and I still have the same overall density now (I'm 34). I'll keep taking it, no reason not to, and no, your libido isn't affected, that's a very rare side effect.

Moral of the story to GFY yappers who like the sound of their own voice: STFU unless you have first hand experience with the thread posted. Oh and get a job.
