I had a surgery that left me with intractable pain with sex when I was a young woman. I still enjoyed life for years after the surgery though it did fuck up my ability to have kids and a happy relationship, but those things are not essential to happiness. Later in life, once you have had kids etc, it's still a big blow for a man or woman, but it's not uncommon for women to get intractable dyspareunia or men intractable ED in later life

It's probably the Risperdal. Get your prolactin level checked. I had bad impotence on Invega which is basically the same thing as Risperdal due to high prolactin. I have ED anyway but it was a lot worse.
I treat mine with 5mg of Cialis per day. I was surprised it worked because I'd tried Viagra and Levitra with no success. If you've tried viagra, levitra and cialis and none worked, consider seeing a urologist for expert help.

I'm nearly 30 and have never been with a woman I was sexually attracted to. More than a year of chronic insomnia and feeling/looking like shit leaves me doubting that will ever happen. The funny thing is I was relatively handsome, but didn't have the social skills or opportunities. Once you get older it gradually, slowly becomes a moot point anyway, although, to be honest, having to wear condoms sucks. Masturbation really is much easier. My own slight ED is never an issue when I go solo.

I'd say it's no wonder your having these problems given what you have been going through. Everyone reacts to stressors in life in different ways and often these things play out resulting in physical problems. When I'm really stressed I get severe headaches and sometimes nausea as well. Sex is the last thing I want when im feeling that way. Medications are also notorious for causing problems like erectile dysfunction as well.So I dont think what your going through is unusual, I'm sure if there was no stress in your life this would not have happened.

All three of those drugs that you mentioned, effexor, risperidone and cipralex cause sexual problems. You have to figure out with your doctor whether or not it's worth it for your quality of life. If he/she refuses to budge or offer alternatives, find a new one.

As someone with PSSD from SSRI it is a major reason for my ctb. It is hard to accept chemical castration. Those who haven't experienced it can't understand.
A few things. One, is it complete impotence or an ability to sustain an erection? Second, do you wake up with an erection? What is your general age and health? Do you have spinal problems or diabetes? Have you been to the doctor and had your a1c or test levels checked? There are other options other than pills. They aren't As pleasant but are often more effective.
What options other than pills? Like a pump?
I am a 31 year old man with basically no feeling in my genitals and my urinary tract no longer works properly. I simply can't accept myself in this state. It's over and time to gom
I can see why it would be. Society is awful about sexual issues and tends to shame people.
I have the girl version or that, low libido. Yeah it's actually called that on my medical record, and is considered pathology. I hate how sex focused society is. It should be a part of a relationship not the relationship be dependent on it. I got cheated on and left because I couldn't psychologically cope with sex. Guess I'm worthless if I not a hole for him....

I was referring to suppositories or injections. These work in cases when viagra or the like do not. If you have GI dysfunction, it sounds like nerve involvement, either peripheral or more commonly the sacral spine. Have you been diagnosed? You certainly don't have to share here, but I would be remiss not to suggest you see a doctor.
I talked to a GP. The pompous cretin said he'd never heard of PSSD and basically disregarded my issues. I asked for a referral to a urologist and he said no, I wanted to knock the fuckers lights out with how smug he was sitting there like some kind of hotshot.
I'm not really sure where I can go with this problem. They just want to put me back on the drugs as they are drug dealing bastards.

My advice, it's your clock, just be confident to exhaust all measures as that can be a fixable problem.
It is your clock, your life, your skin. You get to decide on your own terms. The idea that you owe a society something is pretty equivalent to asking your masters. We aren't slaves unless we give someone that power.
Just my $.02

I'm so sorry. Hopefully you can find a new doctor. Either way, advice to live by is not to go to a bad doctor with a diagnosis suggestion. It can often be wrong, and if it is, it can lead a bad md to discount your complaint.
I will say there ARE treatments if you can find the right doctor.

umm , its your choice , but since you've posted here , i think a part of your brain thinks its not a good reason .
The problem is the sexual dysfunction leads to isolation, loneliness and low self esteem and confidence. It bleeds into every aspect of your life. Also being chronically single leads to ridicule in society. I don't know how I'm supposed to continue and lead a quality life worth living as a result.
Ok. Logic would dictate you do not know everything about your condition, cause, nor does it sound like you have actually been diagnosed. Yes there are treatments for erectile dysfunction, and I would again encourage you to do some of the items mentioned previously. I'm very sorry for what you are going through and know it is incredibly hard.
I am actively reaching out to doctors, I am searching for solutions. But how exactly does one get diagnosed with PSSD? There is no physiological explanation for it because it's not yet understood by the medical community. The only criteria is the feedback reported from the victim as to how the reproductive organ is functioning now vs how it did before the medication. There is no test for me to take that can quantify how my genitals feel and function. I had a blood test for my T levels and they recorded in normal range. So far one physician was clueless and had never even heard of antidepressants having side effects on the reproductive system (which is mind boggling to be honest). Onto the next buffoon we go.

I just wonder if the type of masturbation has anything to do with it. Some guys your age go at themselves very fast and rough. It isn't anything like real sex with a woman would be. Not sure why they do it this way but it does seem to go along with never having real sex. It seems like their members are numb and calloused.
They can't seem to feel anything on their male members unless it is very fast rough and brutal. Naturally, being used to this treatment that member is not going to respond to or be able to even feel something different, slower, with a completely different feel and texture.
It's a similar problem with porn addiction. It's not similar to actual sex in a real relationship. Or being with an actual living female.

That's a conclusion we can only make for ourselves. Hey, i also deal with ED and just sexual dysfunction overall since i was 16. For me, sexual dysfunction is a major problem that makes my overall quality of life hell, and that overall life of misery, loneliness, and hopelessness is what makes me want to CTB. Sexual dysfunction is dehumanizing, especially when you're young. Ever since my problems started, i have lost all my confidence and became socially inept. I don't think most people understand this struggle. A person's sexual health is often one of the biggest indicator of health and quality of life.

Don't go to the pompous cretin anymore. Perhaps an andrologist or endocrinologist can help you.
I have got the same problem. I have stopped almost all psychiatric drugs after almost 3 decades. The ability to orgasm has returned but the erectile dysfunction has remained. Viagra is helping me now.
Do not take psychotropic drugs unless absolutely necessary and certainly not permanently. Psychiatric drugs are the medicine for doctors and society so that they don't have to deal with the problems of the mentally ill. The drugs are supposed to keep people productive, no matter the price.
This is the message I want to bring to the world after 3 decades of experience in psychiatry.

Suicide because of erectile dysfunction?
That's a hard one.
That's a hard one.

I want to be chill about your post, but do you hear how judgmental you sound?

I am nobody to tell other people what is and what isn't a good reason to ctb. But sex isn't only about penetration, there are other ways not only to feel pleasure by yourself but also to make others feel good as well.
Yeah, I mean the posters who are bitching the loudest are uninterested in meeting people yet capable of doing so
