Please feel free to tell me you don't feel comfortable discussing the subject, since you already mentioned it makes you super uncomfortable and I apologize because I don't mean to do that, or maybe someone else can answer it but what's the connection there between SSRIs and sex?
I've never been on antidepressants or SSRIs so I have no idea. Does it amplify the experience or something?
SSRIs have been known to decrease libido in some, sometimes severely, even after discontinuing the medication
Thanks! That's what I expected but makes the interaction make less sense to me.
God no. Quite the opposite. SSRIs tend to seriously blunt sexual response. The most common effect is sharply delayed orgasms, but it can cause near total anorgasmia, and/or difficultly with sexual arousal at all. Sexual dysfunction and weight gain are the two most common side effects of SSRIs.
