I'm female, and I'm noticing now, that when having sex, the good news is I'm starting out less numb with some sensation, but as things continue, I get more and more numb by the second, resulting in an orgasm that's not nearly as satisfying. And it takes so much pressure for it to even happen.
It's just so strange because the sensation dramatically decreases during, and it's not like from friction, like a skin sensation that's dulled, it feels neurological.
And then, after any orgasm, the following few days, the numbness dramatically increases to the point where I have no libido at all again.
I guess these are the windows and waves, but it's just so interesting because it almost feels like I "run out of" a hormone or chemical that's necessary to maintain the sensation and create a satisfying climax. And the same thing with the 3 day windows, it's like I've run out of something. As though there's a shortage of dopamine or oxytocin or serotonin (haven't done nearly as much research as you guys, I'm uneducated on this, so bear with me), but does anyone else have this feeling? Like you're low on something and then it just significantly drops?
I guess, if I compare myself now to February, back when I stopped Prozac, I'm improving but ever so slowly and with lots of steps backwards, which is frightening and discouraging sometimes.
