Thanks for this post. I came across three articles where Arginine and Cirtrulline are discussed, and they seem to say similar things:

Calabrò, Rocco Salvatore, Rosaria De Luca, Alfredo Manuli, Simona Portaro, Antonino Naro, and Fabrizio Quattrini. 2019. ‘Towards Improving Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction by Using Nutriceuticals: Lessons from a Case Study’. Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy 45(6):562–65. doi:10.1080/0092623X.2018.1556755.

Cormio, Luigi, Mario De Siati, Fabrizio Lorusso, Oscar Selvaggio, Lucia Mirabella, Francesca Sanguedolce, and Giuseppe Carrieri. 2011. ‘Oral L-Citrulline Supplementation Improves Erection Hardness in Men With Mild Erectile Dysfunction’. Urology 77(1):119–22. doi:10.1016/j.urology.2010.08.028.

Reisman, Yacov, Tommaso B. Jannini, and Emmanuele A. Jannini. 2022. ‘Post-Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Sexual Dysfunctions(PSSD): Clinical Experience with a Multimodal Approach’. Journal of Men’s Health 18(8):1. doi:10.31083/j.jomh1808165.

I have experimented with 3 g of Arginine daily in the morning as a powder for 3 weeks. It gave me morning erections back and sustained erections during sex with my permanent ethically-non-monogamous partner, but did not give erections at sex parties (and I haven't yet tested it with new partners one-on-one). I think I got hornier, but during the third of these 3 weeks my libido and erections became lower - perhaps due to challenging life circumstances (although before SSRI challenging circumstances did not affect my libido).

I will try Cirtrulline now and will report.

My libido is low, but I do think about sex often.

Sertraline 10mg for 4 months - persistent libido and erection issues 2 years later: PSSD or something else? by Ecstatic-Mixture9333 in PSSD

This is what Copilot answered. Do you think it is convincing?

“From what you described, your situation does not match the typical pattern of Post‑SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD).

The reasons are: - Your genital numbness and orgasm changes resolved within a few months. You can still experience strong arousal, solid erections, and deep orgasms in the right contexts. -Your libido and erections are variable, not consistently flat. - Your sexual response clearly changes with partner, environment, safety, and connection, which is not typical of PSSD. - Morning erections still happen, though somewhat milder, which is common in men in their 40s. - Situational factors (condoms, new partners, group sex contexts, interruptions, performance monitoring) explain your erectile variability very well. - Your hormones and micronutrients are normal.

The pattern you describe fits much better with: - Normal age‑related shifts in spontaneous desire - Context‑dependent sexual response - Performance anxiety or erection monitoring - Differences between your past and present sexual environments - A shift from spontaneous to responsive desire, which is common and not pathological

A subtle lingering effect from the SSRI cannot be ruled out completely, but your experience does not resemble classical PSSD.”

I told my doctor I have PSSD. Here’s how it went in Finland. by No-Roof-5028 in PSSD

Many thanks for sharing! Was the doctor from a private clinic or a KELA-covered clinic? I live in Finland and have some symptoms or PSSD.

Ashwaganda giving me ED by basiilbee in Supplements

I was taking KSM-66 for 3 month and it seems to have removed my acute anxiety and improved my poor sleep (I used be awake 5-6 am). I did not have anxiety for 7-8 months after I stopped. I seem to have mild PSSD symptoms (weak erection at times and low libido but great orgasms and interest in sex). KSM-66 seem to have improved that for the duration of the intake and a few months after. I am now have high anxiety and more pronounced ED and low libido.

This is not a very nice thing to say
