In reply to What is the biological pathway... sex and SSRI?, posted by law663 on January 9, 2006, at 7:40:55
The sex act involves large motor activity which normally releases serotonin in the brain. Since SSRIs create abnormally higher levels in our bodies, there is not the big change from little to lots like there should be during and after a good roll in the sack.
This is how I've come to understand it after talking with my son's autism 7-person evaluation team - all psychologists. Large motor workouts for my son lessen his sensitivty to the light touch and unusual textures that he normally is disturbed by.
Does this make any sense?
