PSSD Forum

I was thinking about that PSSD is only libido issue in my case. So why I am lacking morning erection most of the time if it is not about libido or arousal? My erections apart from morning works fine. If I follow main morning erection theory - morning erections are caused by sleep inhibition of norephineprine neurons in locus ceruleus those works against erection. So isnt it possible that is something wrong in locus ceruleus what goes against spontaneus erections and subsequently hinder libido? SSRI are said to lower firing of locus ceruleus neurons so it should actually support erection. But what if sexual dysfunction on SSRI and post SD are 2 separed problems. And as SSRI inhibit locus ceruleus neurons it become overly active when SSRI are gone and causes lack of morning erection and other problems?

I am agree with you.

This is such an interesting article. I hope someone more educated in a field read it!!

This is also interesting

Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter in the brain. The neurons that synthesize serotonin largely reside in the brainstem raphe nucleus. Axons from the raphe nucleus extend to various locations within the brain, including the cerebral cortex. Neurons within this system are believed to play an important role in the modulation of a variety of psychobiological functions such as mood (projections to the frontal cortex), anxiety/panic (projections to the limbic areas), sleep (projections to the sleep centers), consumption behavior (projections to the hypothalamus), sexual activity (spinal cord projections), motor activity (projections to the basal ganglia), and gastrointestinal function (projections to the chemoreceptor trigger zone
