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]

[b]No not about this. Is this not normal? I can come from PIV pretty much every time and 3-4 times a session is pretty basic for me. Once doesn’t satisfy me it’s just the beginning.[/quote][/b]

You are unusually fortunate. Perhaps you have a shorter distance between clitoris and vaginal opening. I do think it’s a teeny bit disingenuous to state you thought that was typical for most women. Never read a magazine or an internet article about women’s sexual response? [/quote]
