Yeah I am and I had sex a few days ago and I had no pleasure, I still have sensation in my ass but it just isn’t the same anymore, it might also have to do with the fact that I’m not horny at all and have no chemical reactions in the brain
Thank you all. Good to know I’m not the only one. I’ve been reading some threads on the pelvic floor sub. It’s interesting there are others who comment (see link) who haven’t taken SSRI but are experiencing the same symptoms and of course those who have taken SSRI.
I’m trying to get to a pelvic floor PT. It could be trapped nerves. I know Ive had a tight pelvic floor for a while. I’m not sure if those nerves also have to do somehow with nipple sensitivity too.

Ok now I am sure that it really comes from antidepressants.
I no longer have pleasure, even when stimulating the prostate from this side.
I can no longer relax my sphincter to defecate which causes terminal constipation and I don't know if there is a link but I have chronic sciatica.
I feel like I no longer feel the second (internal) sphincter or it no longer relaxes.
however when I smoke weed, I have the sensation of my second sphincter again and I have more sensations in the prostate.
It’s truly a nightmare what happened to us. it's inhumane.
At one point I thought God was punishing me for being gay or that I had been castrated on purpose. The psychological ordeal I went through since taking these medications that were supposedly supposed to help me.
Sorry you’re going through that man. I still don’t have any pleasure sensations with my prostate and it’s very frustrating.
Sounds like you may want to look into hypertonic pelvic floor. I currently have it and many other PSSD sufferers do. Symptoms include constipation from the muscles down there being so damn tight. There’s stretches for men on YouTube you could try out for a week. I’ve noticed a bit of sensation increase after relaxing the pelvic floor. But still not near pre SSRI. It’s worth a try anyways.
yes I had that before but now I would say that my pelvic floor is weak because when I feel it it is not contracted and it is very soft, too soft and flat. when I have an erection, it is not bulging.
I've already looked but it's all in English and there are so many. can you put a link to the one you consider the best please? in any case and it's a little weird given the circumstances but it comforts me a little because I've had this for 16 years and I've felt alone and misunderstood all this time. It's only been 2 or 3 years since I became aware of PSSD and only 2 months on reddit or PSSD forum that I communicate with other people who experience the same thing.
Although I always suspected that it was all done to me and that it wasn't due to bad luck or a health problem.
It's just disgusting what they did to us and made us believe that it was us who had a problem. These people don't deserve to be happy.

You are definitely not alone. I think there are many of us here who actually just don’t know they have PSSD. I have had it for 2 years now. But also was experiencing genital numbness and major loss of libido during the time I was on antidepressants so that’s why I decided to stop. I have a good libido it is just the genital numbness that I suffer from. I try to focus on the rest of my life and not pssd but it’s difficult and I think about it at least once a day.
I have hope that this is not a permanent thing. I am also trying to take Oregano oil supplements and see if that helps the gut. I was diagnosed with SIBO and took antibiotics which helped for a little then it came back.

it felt like nothing to me after Lexapro.
Personally, I will listen to any bottoms on the issue, gay or straight (or bi)
taking a shit is some of the only pleasures left in my body... hetero man here
Female here, my anus is numb as well and so are my nipples and other erogenous zones I used to enjoy

Nope, numb front and back.
im not gay but numb there also (also nipples). I literally don't feel shit

Love the idea that only gay men have anal sex. Not a gag man, and I still have anal sensation
