Comments
As a medical professional however, I enjoyed the use of the SSRI as a very clever and creative plot device but have to mention that these results are not typical. Low dise SSRIs ARE commonly used for males with premature ejaculation problems, BUT the therapeutic window us VERY narrow. More often, the result is erectile dysfunction or total anorgasmia. I hope folks do not rush out and get an SSRI thinking they will last forever. All in all however, my most sincere and enthusiastic compliments on an amazing story. Thank you for sharing!
As to this story, it was racing around in my skull, getting in the way of me working on other stories. It was just easier to write it and post it than to try to ignore it.
Since I got a ping on this in private: if you know anyone taking SSRI medication, nobody should quit those without close physician supervision. Doing so can increase suicidal impulses.
Thanks again for the feedback,
