New to s*x ed? A seasoned s*x ed pro? Never taught s*x ed at all? …Share your experiences!

The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete.

New pub 📢 Frequency of self-reported persistent post-treatment ge***al hypesthesia among past antidepressant users: a cross-sectional survey of s*xual and gender minority youth in Canada and the US [link in bio]

Ge***al numbness? Difficulty with or**sm? Post-SSRI/SNRI S*xual Dysfunction (PSSD) can have long-lasting impacts, but there's little research about this. Our team's recent findings help to shed light on this experience. We found that 13% of people who had taken these medications experienced ge***al numbness.

Some symptoms of PSSD include:
✔️Ge***al numbness
✔️Difficulty having/feeling or**sm
✔️Reduced feeling in ni***es
✔️Less s*xual desire
✔️Difficulties with er****on
✔️Less lubrication in internal ge***als or va**na

If you're experiencing these symptoms, talk to your healthcare provider. PSSD is common, but under-researched. Learn more about PSSD:
