There is a higher risk of priapism.

Samuel, Roger Z. M.D.. PRIAPISM ASSOCIATED WITH VENLAFAXINE USE. Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. 39(1):16, January 2000:

"This letter is to alert clinicians to one possible side effect of venlafaxine (and possibly of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors too) that has not been reported yet, to my knowledge. (A literature search did not reveal any reports). Venlafaxine was prescribed for a 16-year 8-month-old white male for a recurrence of depressive symptoms associated with alcohol abuse and intermittent cannabis abuse...However, even after ejaculating, he maintained an erection for at least 3 hours and on one occasion for about 8 hours (full erection for about 3 hours and partial erection for about 5 hours). He denied any pain associated with the erection. He reported loss of the erection upon micturition. He was advised to reduce the venlafaxine to 112.5 mg/day, to obtain a urine drug screen, and to follow up to monitor the priapism."
