Depends on the dose. And the person. It varies.
For me the least troublesome was prozac at either 10mg or 20mg. It did lessen libido, and it did make the use of low dose viagra desirable and effective, but there was no delayed orgasm.
The second least troublesome was lexapro. At 5mg there were no sexual side effects at all. At 10mg I had good libido, good ability, but delayed orgasm was a bit much.
Zoloft even at just 12.5mg completely killed libido. Didn't stay on it more than a week since it made me feel so lousy. At 25mg it made me extremely more depressed than I had started.
Paxil 10mg or 20mg. Bad bad bad. The worst. Some libido, but what a tease...extremely difficult to get it up, impossible to keep it up, and delayed orgasm lasting forever.
Never tried luvox.
The best for sex for me was cymbalta 5mg to 20mg. Libido was actually intensified, ability intensified, and just enough delayed orgasm to be perfect. Had tried 40mg and 60mg briefly but delayed orgasm at those doses was a problem.

definitely luvox, but if you go over 150mg the sexual side effects will kick in

Stay away from Paxil and Zoloft. Those are major killers for the male libido.
