Are you on antidepressants or not? And is it easy or difficult for you to orgasm?

They say that antidepressants lead to sexual dysfunction such as inability to orgasm. I was curious about how true this is & what the percentages are.

  • I used them in the past and they had little effect on my sex drive. However they actually made my already poor performance with dating much worse. They made me too confident, and made my desperation more apparent because I no longer felt self-conscious about it and also acted douchier in general. When I got off them my confidence reset to zero and somehow I managed to score more dates since then. No idea why.

  • I was on antidepressants (Prozac) and could not orgasm. That was depressing.

    • Did you vote?

    • No, the votes all refer to the present. I'm not on antidepressants now.

  • I've been taking sertraline for a year now or so and never had any issues. Maybe my libido even increased because I felt better and more willingly to do things. I do take a very small dosis. Like half of the smallest amount.

  • I'm on them and it's not that it's difficult to orgasm it's just difficult to get into the mood. I have a way less labito than I used to

  • Antidepressants, especially Paxil, are notorious for curbing your sex drive and sexual function.
