Masturbation for me means pure fantasy; I do not look at imagery. And I want it back. I will supply the fantasy, the memories, but I want the body to respond. I no longer wish to defer resolution of this issue until I find a man (this may never happen, as I am not searching nor am I attractive these days, alas). I want my wonderful orgasms back now. I would need less Trazodone if I could lull myself to sleep with a few powerful orgasms in a row. Orgasms used to work so well putting me to sleep... I would feel more alive if I could come. Is it much to ask to get a medication recommended on the background thread just for the pleasures of solo sex? I think I am going to talk to her about that. I know she will say that my even bringing up this subject - pleasure - means that I am on the mend from depression, and I am sure she would be right. But please, doctor, do something about it! I will tolerate suppressed thyroid and shaky hands that cannot control the pencil well, just deliver me the orgasms!

Has anyone had this conversation with their p-doc?

Not yet but I plan to. I find it hard to orgasm during sex, when before zoloft it would happen before my pants hit the floor. I mean never had a problem in that area and now its a real job and doesnt happen most of the time. Almost just not quite. I think it strains my relationship too, I have explained to him it is the medication. As far as the conversation, I think he really doesnt need to know how you plan on coming just that you havent been able to due to meds. I hear there is a med out for females now. Thinking of asking for it too. Its going to be an awkward conversation but I have to have it. It sucks to just got a new doc.
