Yo-Yo-ing...anyone experience something similar?

[Guest guest]

I thought I would post this in case anyone has had a similar experience. (for

background, I

was on Cymbalta and Straterra for 10 months, have been off them for 1.5 years)

I seem to be yo-yoing back and forth with my libido/erections. Not long ago, I

was

interested in this girl. I would get aroused just by looking at an erotic cell

phone picture of

her, I would get aroused by suggestive text messages and phone conversations.

Things

were great. I would think about her in the car and get an erection. Once I even

masturbated in the car. Having sex with her was not a problem.

Long story short, it didn't work out. That's how it goes. But after it didn't

work out, things

went downhill FAST. My libido went down. My erection frequency went down. When I

look

at porn now, I am just barely aroused. With manual stimulation, I can still get

an erection

and climax pretty quickly.

Also, another thing I have noticed lately. While the orgasm is very enjoyable,

the lead up to

the orgasm isn't that enjoyable. The actually sex/masturbation isn't as

enjoyable as it

used to be, and I seem more motivated to climax because that is when it really

feels good.

The lack of arousal recently from porn has really frustrated me. And so has the

fact that I

seem to only want to get to the climax part of it because the rest of it is just

ho-hum.

Anyone experiencing something similar? Thanks for reading.
