I believe SSRIs blunt the gonadal response to FSH and LH, and thus lowers testosterone secretion. This might contribute something to SSRI-induced ED, but I think the major portion of ED is the result of a more direct (upstream) muting of the arousal pathways in the brain by a hyperserotonergic state. This probably involves NE more than DA.
