Coconut oil: good or bad for libido/test/sexual function?

Hey everyone.

So I have read conflicting reports on coconut oil. Studies show that it's high Lauric acid content inhibits 5ar. At the same time saturated fats help increase test.

I have heard reports of some guys, those taking moderate to high amounts daily, experiencing low libido and sexual dysfunction. I figure this is from low DHT? As DHT is very important for those things, among others.

I have also read reports from guys noticing increased libido.

I'm wondering if nature only intends for a certain amount of coconut oil to
Be ingested for it to have an adaptogenic effect but past a certain threshold it can negatively effect DHT levels.

I was actually only thinking of using a small amount daily, topically on my scalp in the amount of 1 tsp (been shown to help with hairloss) and washout after 20 minutes. The reason I'm asking these questions is because I've been ***very*** sensitive to 5ar inhibitors, both topically/internally, natural and synthetic.

I'm curious on what everyone's take/experiences are with coconut oil?

Thanks!
