SSRIs will generally kill libido and destroy your sex life; warn your spouse / partner before going on SSRIs.

Doctors do a terrible job of educating patients of this nearly universal side effect of SSRIs.[/quote]

When my husband went on antidepressants his sex drive plummeted.  He didn't think about sex at all.  It also made it very difficult for him to finish.  Good times  :( [/quote]

Sorry to hear that.  Hugs, pp.

[b]The “difficulty finishing” part hits home, since a couple of women I dated in the past were taking SSRIs and were unable to finish during;  they even struggled, but usually could eventually finish with “electronic assistance” afterwards (which was fine).  It seems to be a very common side effect.[/quote][/b]

It is a very common side effect of being a woman- with or without SSRIs. If vibrators were completely normalized as an expected part of intimacy(I realize they are for some couples ), an easy orgasm each time might increase a woman’s willingness to engage despite a lowered libido[/quote]

Only time I’ve ever needed a vibrator was when DH was too tired for subsequent rounds. I thought that was normal.[/quote]

Do you even talk to other women?  :roll: [/quote]

You are a smart and confident man.[/quote]

Thanks but it wasn’t always that way. The first time I introduced a vibrator to DW it did make me feel less confident. Quickly got over that though and realized that I provided her with her first orgasm. Fast forward years later, I’ve probably brought and have every single type of vibrator imaginable. It’s fun surprising her with new toys every once in a while.

More men should learn to be okay with toys and not take them as a blow to their egos. [/quote]
