I'm sorry to hear that you have no interest in sexual intimacy. It's extremely important to me. Maybe because of my gender I don't know. I've made the decision to deal with the clinical depression and anxiety by just suffering through it. A very almost childish approach rather than dealing with the issue. I'm at an age now where I don't have much else going for me than the ability to achieve sexual gratification. Maybe I'm being selfish. I don't know. I have a script for Lexapro that my doctor gave me and I took it for a few days and the delayed ejaculation started as well as the ED. I just want to experience pleasure in my life before it's too late. Am I being silly?

Certainly not silly at all. It would be more important to me also, but I have a history of abuse, including sexual so I believe that is why for many years I ignored the fact that I did not need or require intimacy. My epiphany comes by way of my encounter and works with a therapist and my final wanting to take back control of that area that I feel makes me also a woman. It is not silly at all. I also have to weigh my mental health. Recently I have resumed taking Welbutrin XL and have been prescribed Lexapro 5mg to go along with it. I am still weighing it all, but since I take other meds that also are the villains I am still at a place that I will probably have to sacrifice or find a way to deal with that part of me. No, you are not being silly and I do agree with you on seeking pleasure before it is too late.
