Sexdrive And Antidepressants Posted: 02-22-05 15:40pm
Hi guys out there,please can you tell me
if taking antidepressants effects your
sexdrive?My b.F is taking serotax,we have
always had a healthy sex life but since he
has been taking them he has problems with
coming?We have reached the point where I
wont try it on with him and viceversa
incase he dosent com.He says it dosent
bother him if he dosent but am sure it
must?I also get a bit upset as it makes me
feel like I dont turn him on.He always
takes a long time coming anyway,and dosent
like me watching him com,is this
naturall?I feel its may be a control
thig,he dosent like me seeing him let
go,am wondering if the drugs have
exasperated the problem.Can anyone relate
to this?

That is a very common side effect of
anti-depressants. I'm sure his doctor
could recommend a brand that doesn't have
this side effect, or at least less of an
effect. I think maybe wellbutrin has a
low risk of sexual side effects.
I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do
with you!! The same thing happened with
my boyfriend - we didn't have sex for a
few months because of it. When he got to
stop taking it, things went back to
normal.
Good luck...I feel for you!! Keep us
informed.

Thanks for that,thats a relief to hear,i
was hoping I was right.He has relieved
himself a couple of times too
recently,which I havent got a problem with
normally,but him not coming was starting
to become an issue-he seems o.K its me
that has the problem with it,and I think
thats why hes been doing himself just to
see if the problem is still there without
going through a big session with me and me
getting upset if he dosent com.We had a
big chat last night and he says hes having
problems coming by himself too,so I know
now it isnt me.I bet you think im really
paranoid and a bit selfish, as I get
upset, when its him not getting
satisfied.He always satisfies me,but he
takes a long time to com anyway,so this
has made situation worse.Ta for
advice,sory to rattle on,good to talk :d

I recommend to him to try zupro to enhance
his sex drive. This product is very
effective. After taking zupro I had rock
hard erections and intense sexual drive.

I can kind of relate to this. My
girlfriend actually has taken a lot of
anti depressents in the past, she's not
anymore, although that seems to have
really effected her sex drive quite a lot.
It's something now she's starting to
become a bit more aware of in terms of
seeing she can find a solution to it. It
hasn't affected her when we do have sex,
she can cum several times without it being
a problem, although just her motivation or
'hornyness' I guess is the real drive (or
lack of) in that situation.
The flipside is that i'm actually the
person who can loosely relate to this
subject. I haven't had that many sexual
partners (maybe 8 or so) although so far
i've never really found myself able to cum
through sex. I assume it's more of a
mental thing that will 'eventually' pass -
but never really find myself ever coming
close to climaxing. Whereas masterbation
is never a problem. In a way it's not a
huge problem, I love having sex and just
prefer to spend all of the time focussed
on my partner, although at the same time
eventually i'd like to overcome this
(obviously) plus it also worries or
discomforts any partners i'm with as
obviously they feel like i'm not attracted
to them or they're doing something wrong.
So that's always a big burdon half the
time with trying to find a way to stop
once they're completely satisfied without
upsetting them.
Has anyone else ever had or known someone
with this kind of problem?

Hi,thanks for message.My boyfriend has a
similar problem to you,he also finds it
difficult to com through sex alone,its the
same with oral/manual too.Like I
said,recently its been down to the
a.Depressants but in general if he does
com it can take ages.When hes on his own
looking at porn or something it happens
quite quickly,which says to me that this
is a mental problem.I dont know your
circumstances but I think its about
control with my b.F.He always likes to be
in control,in all the relationships hes
been in and I just get the feeling that he
holds back,which stops him from
coming,because then hes lost the control.I
have made him com a few times,without him
taking over,but usually he takes over and
finishes it himself,which can be
upsetting,when I ask him why he does that
he says its because I cant go fast
enough,but I have never been told that
before with previous partners.He is like
you,very generous and loving in bed and
always trying to please me,which he
does,but sometimes I would like to be in
control.I feel for you though,it must be
frustrating for you,have you thought of
seeing a sexual therapist?It does sound
like you have some sort of mental block
too.Also my b,f dosent really have a
forskin for some reson,which is why he
dosent feel alot during sex,wondering if
you have the same thing?Take care,all the
best
