I experience some genital numbness. I think it’s from decades of masturbating too much and too hard. I also think there is a psychological reason.

In my situation. That is.

Idk if aps contributed.

I think they might have. Genital numbness is not normal i think… i also liked to masturbate a lot with toys and the only thing that caused my genitals to go numb were antipsychotics and antidepressants.

I have complete genital numbness. Even deadness. And I’ve had it for years and years. It’s from Risperdal and Celexa, my AP and AD. I’ve resigned myself to a sexless life long ago because I need these two drugs like I need water.

Can I ask you a serious quote?

Is a sexless life missing something or was it eventually fine to be without sex/intimate relationship?

Non functional from the waist down
I’m on Risperdal

Skim read the post. But i just wanted to say that if your gonna buy meds for Erectile Dysfunction, stay the hell away from over the Counter Sildnafil (Viagra) - it seriously dont mix with most anti-psychotics. It can give you a heart attack, with both mixed. You need Cialis.
