I (male) have long felt that sex wasn`t as good as it was supposed to be. Even masturbation wasn´t as good as it was said to be.
It appears now that I have a, well, sensitivity problem with my sex-organ.
I finally figured that out when I got Reboxetine for my Add.
At first that caused some sort of pain after ejaculation. Not a reeally unpleasant pain though.
I found an article describing that phenomenon:However, after like a week on Reboxetine the pain suddenly ceased, and what happened was that the sentivity of the penis to touch etc had greatly increased, massively increasing the pleasure of sex, to what I suppose are normal levels. I was totally exhilarated, until the Reboxetine caused equally massive vertigo which wouldn`t go away so I had to discontinue it.
Being highly annoyed I`d like to know:
Does anyone experience a similarly reduced sensitivity of his/her sex-organs to stimulation?Does anyone have experience with Reboxetine´s effect on his sexual feelings?
Is there any other med causing similar effects?

Can't say I have, but I do know that Remeron increased sensitivity for me. In fact, strangely enough it made my penis larger and more supple when flacid.

Ok, not male... just reporting what my pdoc said: that the main reason reboxetine hasn't been released into the US market was a common 'cold-water' effect on the penis. That most users actually experienced that Seinfeldian (George at the beach episode) phenomena of shrinkage.

Hi Kate,
Isn't it cool how Seinfeld can be used to explain almost any situation in life? :)

Well I did experience a loss in potency, like 40% or so. It was tolerable.
