KXo:
I have the same sexual side effects on all SSRIs. Zoloft is no better than Effexor. Effexor has a relatively short half-life so it clears your body in a couple of days. Zoloft stopped working for me after about 5 years. Effexor did the trick and has kept me sane for over 2 1/2 years. It doesn't make me a zombie either--I really don't notice any side effects except for the sexual issue.
As far as women go, focus on satisfying her. I think it's good you tell her to let you know when she's had enough. Some women get really sore but won't say anything. Afterwards, if you feel you can be straightfoward with her, just tell her your taking a medication that sometimes makes it difficult for you to reach an orgasm. At least it won't leave her feeling guilty or inadequate. Why don't you let her give you the hand job? That's pleasurable too.
All I can say my friend is "I feel your pain." Maybe you should try taking a longer drug holiday if you're anticipating scoring.
Good luck.
