I am actually suprised that ECT is being used for the symptoms you decribed, which sounds like a mild depression. I assume you have also tried all other meds and ECT is all that is left to try?
I'm actually one of the few on this board who are pro-ect, but I have to say i'm not sure about it in this case. It sounds like it is frustrating to no longer feel how you did. I have never felt like you have. An orgasm is the least of my problems :)
From what I recall, ECT does not seem to be as effective in milder forms of depression. And if you havent exhausted trying all of the meds available, I personally wouldn't try another session.
