    TLDR Finasteride causes fewer sexual side effects than dutasteride in men with BPH.
    A study compared the sexual side effects of finasteride and dutasteride in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It was found that dutasteride therapy led to more withdrawals due to sexual side effects compared to finasteride. This suggested that finasteride had fewer sexual side effects, making it a potentially more tolerable option for patients concerned about these specific adverse effects.
