So what's the deal with these substances and 5AR inhibition reducing libido?
If you look any of these up here on Reddit, you'll see the same 5-10 people saying they permanently destroy your libido, "literally castrate you", etc.
Curious if any of you have had similar issues with libido taking any of these substances, or if this is overblown.

I've taken a lot of Lucidispore since it came out, with regular lion's mane. 43 and my libido is through the roof, but I'm on tongkat, pine pollen, and stinging nettle. It was fine before.

Most people have no issues with libido and reishi/lion's mane. For every one person that reports an issue, there are likely 50 that don't.
