Let me first say that advice from me should in no way be taken as a substitute for a consultation with a licensed physician. Now, on to your questions. Yes, excess estrogen can decrease libido. However, the chances of a person seeing a decrease in libido resulting from the (normally) small increase in estrogen caused by taking a DHT inhibitor are very slim. The occurence of side effects for subjects treated with Dutasteride wasn't much higher than the occurence of side effects for the placebo group, and usually went away within a period of six months. To my knowledge, there are only two things that would influence whether or not a person will experience side effects with DHT inhibition: pre-existing hormone levels and age. While some men in their teens and twenties experience excess estrogen related side effects from DHT inhibition due to pre-existing hormone levels, the chances of these side effects occuring greatly increases with age. As men age, their testosterone to estrogen ratio changes dramatically. As estrogen levels rise, so do the occurences of estrogen related side effects from DHT inhibition. To answer your question regarding higher levels of testosterone...Higher testosterone levels result in A) higher testosterone levels, B) higher DHT levels and C) higher estrogen levels. Again, DHT inhibition shouldn't have that much of an effect on your testosterone and consequently estrogen levels, unless your test or estrogen levels are already high and /or you are WELL past your prime. Normally, the only people who have to worry about the effects of higher testosterone levels are those whose testosterone levels are through the roof (i.e. juicers). Should you start estrogen inhibition with Prop/Duta at age 20? First of all, DHT inhibitors such as Propecia and Avodart won't inhibit anything besides DHT. In fact, as previously stated, they will likely slightly increase estrogen levels. Should you inhibit estrogen at age twenty to gain higher levels of testosterone? Absolutely not. Your testosterone level is most likely right where it needs to be. The only way you should be concerned about your testosterone levels is if you experience negative side effects from DHT inhibition, have an abnormally low amount of testosterone (which is unlikely), or want to use illegal steroids and have a heart failure at 35. As far as body hair, believe it or not, ethnicity and genetics are just as much responsible as your hormones. In other words, altering your hormone levels won't likely change the amount of body hair you have. If you are that concerned, you can have the hair permanently removed by laser surgery should you become a "hairy gorilla". Finally, a good plan for "low DHT without becoming a hermaphrodite" would be to use a DHT inhibitor (with a topical) and nothing else, barring the presence of unwanted side effects. If you DO experience unwanted side effects, 1 mg of Arimidex divided into two doses per week should be enough to more than eliminate any excess estrogen. Finally, it is a good idea to have your blood hormone levels checked occaisionally, especially after your mid-thirties. At that time, you may want to consider estrogen inhibition simply to keep your test to estrogen ratio closer to the level it was when you were in your prime. Good luck.
