Hi everybody!
I am new on this forum; I have registered myself when I read the post from "manny" who has a similar issue that I have. That`s a complex subject and just going to the doctor maybe it is not the solution. Sometimes even doctors can`t really understand what is going on with us mainly when the doctor is a psychiatrist as they treat us without making any laboratory tests. They go for guessing by what we tell to them.
There is ten years that I can`t have an orgasm! Unfortunately my problem is not related only to orgasm; I can`t feel aroused (horny) anymore for about ten years. Nothing make me feel horny anymore. I don`t feel pleasure on masturbation and orgasm on ejaculation. I don`t feel horny if I watch any erotic or pornography scene. I don`t feel horny if I think in sex. I don`t desire sex as I don`t feel horny! I don`t feel like masturbating if I don`t feel horny! I can stay months without masturbation as I don`t feel horny/aroused.
I don`t really have a spontaneous erection anymore if I see someone or think in a erotic situation. If I want to have an erection I need to touch in my penis forcing an erection but I can`t keep it as I don`t feel horny. The only spontaneous erection that I have is when I am sleeping. I wake up hard everyday. I have a normal testosterone levels.
I don`t feel horny if I am with anybody having sex or without sex.
After going to some doctors I went to a psychosexual clinic in London and answered a big core and they said that my libido problem is related to a depression. It looks like I have depression for ten years. I started going to the psychiatrist and he prescribed me bupropion (Zyban). It`s about 8 months I have started taking bupropion. I am having the maximum dosage which is 450mg per day. I feel ok about my mood but I got no result related to my sexual anhedonia/anorgasmia
Anorgasmia is the medical term for regular difficulty reaching orgasm after ample sexual stimulation, causing you personal distress.
Sexual anhedonia, also known as pleasure dissociative orgasmic disorder, is a condition in which an individual cannot feel pleasure from an orgasm. It is thought to be a variant of hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
What I and the doctor are thinking is that I have an unbalance of my neurotransmitters mainly dopamine. Bupropion would balance dopamine levels and then I could start feel pleasure on masturbation, orgasm, feel arousal, etc. Unfortunately I am not really sure that it will work as I am on the 8th month of my treatment. That`s the reason I am on this forum to see if someone have the same problem as me and could share some experience and maybe got a good response with bupropion or another treatment.
Thanks!
