Well, it's about time!

A 2018 literature review went further, describing the condition as "debilitating" and under-recognized, with "common PSSD symptoms" including "genital anesthesia," as well as failure to become aroused or orgasm, "pleasure-less or weak orgasm, decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation."

I suffer from all of the above issues except for premature ejaculation. I take way too long to reach orgasm, an orgasm which is weak and unsatisfying. Impossible to know if my problems have anything to do with trying every SSRI in the past (since merely trying 4 isn't enough, gotta try all 7 says Dr. Dumbass).

I used AndroGel for 5+ years and that entirely failed to improve my lost sex drive. Used Cialis, which worked to a minor extent though not nearly well enough. And Cialis also causes a really stuffy nose and then there is the fact that my insurance stopped covering it as of 2017. Insurance doesn't think men deserve erections and if that happens to depress them, well, then they can have an SSRI to cheer 'em up. Ugh!

Are you guys & gals wondering what happens next if the boner pills -- Viagra, Cialis, Levita -- fall to produce erections? Well, let me tell you about how those lucky guys get to inject (yes, stick a needle in their dick) a compounded drug like Trimix (and no insurance covers compounded drugs). And they only have some "minor" side effects like the very real possibility of priapism, that's the painful erection that lasts longer than 4 hours & which may require surgery to drain the blood such that he doesn't become totally impotent for the rest of his life!

And if those horrific injections don't get the job done, then he's a candidate for a penile implant. And, yet again, that's a $20,000 surgery which insurance often doesn't cover, since, as I said before, he simply doesn't deserve to have an erection as being able to have sex is a luxury good reserved for only the well to do. And if having a rod or inflatable device rammed into your naughty bits sounds unpleasant I would fully agree with you.

As you might imagine, I'm more than a tad jealous of guys who have tragically lost their GF or wife or long-term partner. I know they are really hurting, but at least they can get it up and they can feel sexual pleasure. It's possible that they might find another woman to love and to be intimate with. I, on the other hand, and totally screwed, unable to be intimate with anyone even if I by some miracle were to find a woman who wanted intimacy with me. I would actually be thrilled if I could simply enjoy the great pleasure of masturbation alone, but like I said, I have so little sex drive and masturbation isn't very pleasurable and it ends in a weak & unsatisfying "climax," which is really more of an anti-climax.

And in case the young guys reading this don't know how exceedingly good they have got it, let me further tell you about refractory period. That is the time between orgasm and when a man is can get erect to go another round. If you're 20 you likely think that getting one boner after another with a mere 5 minutes in between is simply how things work and how they will always work. Let me burst your bubble. I used to get hard all the time too and masturbate numerous times a day every day as a teen. That's a distant memory now. Now it would be a fucking miracle to get it up again after a "mere" day of rest in between and normally jerking off once a week is seen as quite frequent by my standards. Yes, that's the future that just might await you.

And it's hardly as if SSRIs & SNRIs are the only offenders in the world of psychiatric meds. I can further tell you about how Xanax, at least in sky-high dosage like 8 mg/day, kills sex drive. That's a documented side effect. And if those evil SSRIs & SNRIs don't work for you then you might get to try the MAOIS, Nardil & Parnate, which both also cause anorgasmia, which is the inability to orgasm, the same problem that SSRIs & SNRIs cause. My other problems with Nardil & Parnate is that like all the other psych meds they don't fucking work either.

That might have given you some further insight into why TimeToDie had reached the end of his time.

SSRI 250mg, sex drive 0. A very one sided scoreline methinks.

Anything that keeps the birth rate down is a positive, frankly. We're overpopulated and too sex obsessed.

"That's the worst part, when the want goes. That's bad... I've gone soft in the last three pussies I've been in. You get to a point where it's time to put a period to the end of my... whatever this was."

Yeah. Anhedonia.

You sound like my really old & Catholic late mother. She was literally a 1950s housewife, from a pre-birth control era where how often you fucked actually was directly correlated to how many kids you had. Back then Catholics (within the bounds of holy matrimony) often banged like bunnies and as a result they had families with 8 kids and sometimes a even baker's dozen (if the lord really blessed them). Then birth control hit the market in the 1960s and suddenly horny gals -- who just discovered the female orgasm -- could fuck their brains out all without the risk of pregnancy.

BTW, male birth control is also on the market and has been since the 1940s. You would know it as testosterone replacement therapy, such as AndroGel. If a guy adds testosterone from an outside source -- gel, patch, injection -- his sperm count will go to zero.

Way back in ye olden days when I actually had a sex drive, I found that Zoloft entirely eliminated it. The irony was that Zoloft did not inhibit orgasm, not even at the sky-high dosage of 300 mg. Of course, having no sex drive due to Zoloft I had zero desire to orgasm, but if I wanted to go through the burdensome task of masturbation I could orgasm normal. Paxil left me horny as normal, but eliminated any chance to orgasm, sort of like having a coked gun that can never fire.

Jesus Christ, I had heard of this but had no idea the effects could be long term. My sex drive is in the shitter too, although I've never taken said SSRI's. I only get aroused enough to want to rub one out maybe once every couple of weeks, maybe once a month. It's very sporadic. I'm a female in my 30's so my sexual trajectory is declining and it sucks. I used to feel horny all the time and orgasm a few times a week for years, throughout my teens and twenties but I've really noticed my drive slowing lately, almost to a grinding stop. I've found that it has unfortunately made a notable dent in my quality of life, and believe it or not is a part (not the whole reason) of why I want to ctb. I used to be so passionate, and feel so overwhelmed and excited by sex but now I just fall flat. The inability and infrequency of feeling pleasure makes me look forward to death that much more.

Certain specific parts of the world are overpopulated, and no matter how many fish are given to the large families in said overpopulated geographic areas, the task of learning to fish will continue to elude them forever. The West however, is a shrinking population, we're below replacement birth rate and 100% of our population growth is coming from the stagnant pond water I previously described.

A birth rate of 2.1 kids per couple is needed just to keep a population stable over time. Various industrialized nations have birth rates below that and have to deal with the serious demographic problem of a shrinking population. With less babies you have less workers to support an aging population. This is a problem if you have Social Security or any other pay as you go welfare system for the elderly.

So if you're young, please don't CTB as a whole lot of old folks need you to work for them. This message brought to you by AARP.

"the serious demographic problem of a shrinking population" It really isn't that serious of a problem. A shrinking population could just as easily be fixed within a couple of generations by increasing the fertility rate. Take Japan for instance. Their population is shrinking, but they aren't looking to replace themselves with foreign populations as a "solution". In 100 years, Japan will still be Japanese, regardless of whether it's population has significantly declined. Our Western nations, won't be so Western anymore, though. But on the plus side we'll have lots of VERY KIND AND SYMPATHETIC, AND TENDERLY LOVING foreigners to look after our decrepit, elderly, helpless evil white men. Good times will be had by all! It was so worth it, suiciding our civilization , just so that we can make sure our asses are wiped in old age and our tax benefits continue rolling on in. Much better to import work rather than produce workers ourselves through reproduction, that would involve passing on our evil genes and no one needs that.

I haven't had a sex drive in years, and it's very likely the SSRIs played a part in that. Guys my age are usually horny as shit and I can't relate to that at all. I just want a relationship to ease the loneliness at this point.

After panic attack I had 3 months ago I lost ability to get erection at all. Not even for masturbation which never happened to me before. I wasn't back than on any SSRI just on pregabalin and trazadone (but few months before I was taking Sertraline 200mg which I stopped). I wonder if my erection is going to come back. If not I have another very fucking strong reason to CTB. I guess it is not helping that I am now on fluoxetine and mirtazapine.

I havn't had sex or a girlfriend since I was 19 thanks to SSRI's(I'm 32 now). And back then when I was In good shape I looked like a supermodel and attracted a lot of women. I honestly feel like I've been robbed of my youth because of it. There is no chance of informed consent when you're not told the side effects can be chronic. And anyway, you shouldn't have to keep your guard up not to be castrated by your doctor or psychiatrist. They are supposed to watch out for you.

Honest to God I never knew that limp dick due to SSRI's was permanent. I wonder if studies have been done establishing this as a chronic side effect. In any case the doctors and psychiatrists couldn't be more conflicted in terms of their interests, since the same company that sells anti-depressants also sells and markets Viagra and all manner of other pharmaceuticals. In fact, they're covertly sterilizing young wonen with vaccines. If anyone needs more reasons to reserve themselves from submitting unquestioningly to whatever the doctor offers. https://www.news-medical.net/news/2...ce-of-lifelong-sterilization-study-finds.aspx

It's difficult for me to believe that the entire medical industry isn't just a huge, weaponized, genocidal meat grinder, to be honest.

so the choices are:
1) alive and depressed and maybe, maybe not have sex as a result
2) alive and maybe, maybe not as depressed as before but on meds and definitely have no sex
3) Dead

Seems like 1 and 2 lead to 3)...

SSRI's have fucked up my life so much. I was put on them at 14 because I didn't know any better. I wouldn't go near it again with a barge pole even if it meant dying. I realized how much they had robbed me when I finally came off of them in my mid-20's. I never had any permanent sexual side-effects and while on them I didn't lose libido (at least wasn't conscious of it) and could still get hard but staying hard was very difficult and getting a nut off required a lot of dedication to say the least and the payoff was very underwhelming. The pharma industry is milking us like cows and I'm at least glad I won't be contributing anymore to this bullshit when I'm dead. It makes me wish it lowered my libido (but only while on it) because it was frustrating as fuck being on that garbage for so long! I'm positive if there was anything they could do about it, it would just be another god damned pill you'd have to take for the rest of your life. Cures aren't good for business.

As far as overpopulation is concerned, It's in places we are artificially pumping up with humanitarian aid. That's for sure not going to result in serious problems in the future...

If it's any consolation at all, I've not only missed out on my 20's but also the entirety of my teens as well beginning at 13. It's a very bitter and empty feeling that I can relate to. I remember having a meltdown at around 19-turning-20 because of it.
