Yes but during those years were your genitals completely numb and did you wake up with erections, cant get spontaneous erections ever, and have problems even j*rking off?...depression can make sex less enjoyable of course and for some have inabiilty achieving orgasm yes...but it shouldn't give you the above symptoms otherwise it is considered hypogonadism...Your body is in an unconcious state when it about wakes up so if you aren't getting erections in the morning its a sign of hypogonadism induced by the drugs?....Also you got your sex drive back by resolving those issues you were having...It's not that simple when your nuerotransmitters have been f*ked with by drugs..It's completely different...One is ability to perform sex but having the ability in tact...The other is having the ability wiped away like chemical castration and they can sometimes have similiar symptoms like many diagnoses for different diseases have overlapping symptoms its just not the same thing at all...Our brain is all chemicals reactions and once you mess with the delicate harmonious actions of nuerotransmitters it can change everything about that individual from his personality to even his sexual ability...

> I'm 25 and for many years, due to depression, I had absolutely no sex drive. Sex wasn't pleasurable and I never reached orgasm. It became so bad that sex became more of a mechanical thing than emotional. In fact, it wasn't until I resolved *some* of my emotional issues that I was finally able to have an orgasm...that was at the age of 21.

Additionally, having an orgasm is in a large part a mental thing, you can prevent yourself from enjoying sex/having an orgasm if you're depressed. Which does make it a vicious cycle, because then it seems like one condition is just worsening the other.
