High libido coming of SSRIs

Has anyone else had this? I've reduced my Sertraline dose from 100mg to 50mg and I'm unbelievably horny. Far more than I was before I was on any medication.

If you've had this, did it pass as your body adjusted to the new dose?

My DH has been on Sertraline and seen similar effect. He had a high drive and was normally very horny before being on the medication. He started at 50mg and ended up at 75mg for about 18 months and in this time his drive was still good but his general level of horniness was reduced in a big way to the point he didn't even get an urge to masturbate.
Within a couple of weeks of coming off the sertraline he was back to the same as before.
