I can attest to this. I can also attest to a few reports from friends.
Even when I was depressed (before taking the drugs) sexual dysfunction was never a symptom. I lost interest somtimes, but things still worked.
After stopping SSRI's I had a transient rebound in sexual function, but it has almost completely gone.
The most frigtening effect I have (sorry for the detail) is an orgazmless ejaculation. On SSRI's it would be difficult to get there, but the result was still pleasurable, off them, there is no delay, but now it is just a plain waste of my time, zero pleasure, neither physical nor emotional.
Its scary, because its been almost a year off them. I'd tell more about my state, but people just try an write it off.
