I'm not a man, but have tried several SSRI's.
Prozac: nice personality effects (more self-confident, less depressed) but no desire and no ability to climax.
Luvox: total anorgasmia, even at a fairly low dose. Also total lack of desire or ability for arousal.
Zoloft: able to be aroused, but unable to climax. (All dressed up and nowhere to go!)
Serzone: no effect on my OCD, but back to normal sexual functioning. There is a God! It took a couple weeks the first time to get over some tiredness, thirst, and strange feelings (anger, irritability), but they diminished. And when I went back to Serzone after trying Zoloft, the side effects did not recur even at 450 mg/day. And life is OK again!
