Anti-Depressents = No Orgasms (Sexual Content)

[ConnorCamden]

I have been on anti-d's since April and have achieved 3 orgasms in that time. It's really getting me down. Up until October, I was single. All 3 orgasms have been achieved on my own, without my new boyfriend. He tries his best, bless him, but he says not to worry about it. I'm glad he is accepting, but it frustrates me so much. I've tried everything, even went as far as watching porn. Nothing. The 3 orgasms I have had have taken me over an hour to achieve.

Am I broken?

Meant to add, the brand I'm on is citalopram. I was originally on 20mg, then went to 40mg, and have recently come down to 20mg again with an aim of getting down to 10mg after Christmas.

Lack of orgasm is a known side effect of lots of antidepressants.
Is orgasm that important to you? Do you feel that sex can't be good without orgasm, or are you finding the sex not that good?
Many people find that if they don't take the pills then they don't have a sex drive anyway or any sex, so being up for lots of 'rather nice' sex is a great improvement over 'wahey' sex that you aren't getting anyway.

Hope some of that helps.

The sex itself is great (though dp finishes a little quicker than I would like) but I feel bad for him that he can't make me orgasm (he's a little insecure and thinks he is doing something wrong).
