I think the sexual side effects mainly come from increased dopaminergic inhibition by serotonin.
Buspar has been known to alleviate sexual side effects from SSRIs. I believe the idea is that by preferentially activating the 5-ht1a autoreceptors it diminishes (or regulates) serotonin release in certain areas of the brain.
Essentually this in essense lowers activation of 5-ht2a/c receptors.Linkadge
