Hi Joe,
Your problem made me think of what I have read in some other newsgroups about retrograde ejaculation. I dont know if this could be the same you are talking about, but I copied the text from the newsgroup below. (It's from the Yahoo group about Effexor.)
Good luck,

Subject: Re: Abnormal Ejaculation
Going to be direct here, my friend."Retrograde ejaculation" is a known side-effect of the SSRI antidepressants (and can happen on some of the non-SSRI's, too.) In retrograde ejaculation, during the male orgasm, instead of semen being ejected normally from the penis, it gets forced into the bladder. A strange sounding but real occurrence. The male feels the sensation of an orgasm, but something seems amiss, to the partner, per se'. I have heard this described as "dry orgasm."
Please pardon the bluntnessin my response and terminology everyone, but this question called for a straightforward answer. Many people are not aware of this phenomenon, but it can occur with these medications. I'm sure there could be other forms of "abnormal ejaculation," but this one I am familiar with.
