I don't think I've experienced 'Genital Anesthesia' as such, but I've mostly steered clear of the standard SSRI's and am resisting my pdocs agenda to get me on Effexor. Most of my sexual dysfunction is (I presume) from age and a long history of taking many substances. Still, the same principles should apply.Most people I think would find 1 dropper (.75 ml) of tincture sublingually about right for remission of sexual dysfunction without anything too weird happening. If you experience some weirdness, don't worry about it; it only lasts about half an hour, then you still get the sexual benefits in the afterglow. YMMV as usual. I don't recommend smoking the leaf, that definitely shifts it into the psych. realm. If you grow your own (currently legal in Canada and US except Louisiana I believe) you can chew about 10 leaves for a very mild effect.
Tincture is fairly widely available on the web (email me if you want specific suppliers). Be careful of terminology: "5x extract" actually means whole leaf enhanced with extract. Tincture is the purified extract which can be taken sublingually, probably the most convenient for this purpose. Leaf is widely available, and a few places will ship plants for growing.
email me if you want more details as I don't think it's acceptable use to mention specific suppliers here: tonyp@shaw.ca
