Hi Q
>Ed, I took my first SSRI paroxetine at 17 and the anorgasmia scared the hell out of me
I can orgasm easily on all SSRIs, but have low libido. If I stop the SSRI I orgasm with almost no stimulation (like a rebound effect) but my libido is still quite low. If you're not used to thinking about sex it takes a while to start thinking about it again I suppose.
>It seems they have had a permanent dulling effect on my ability to feel pleasurable sexual sensations
I've been on SSRIs for about 8 years. They haven't caused any physical numbness or anything like that. It's more a case of eating a chocolate bar being more interesting than having sex.
>This ruined the sex life I had when I did finally get my first sexual partner.
I don't have a partner at the mo. I don't think I could satify someone because I just wouldn't be interested enough. I might start having sex then two minutes later I'd be wanting to go watch TV or something.
