I really like this guy. He told me he takes 10 mg prozac daily since his mom passed away a year ago, he started having panic attacks- so it is prescribed for panic disorder.
He told me he did not notice it affected his personality at all.
We've been dating almost 2 months- no sexual intimacy yet because I'm not ready BUT I am afraid of what I read from the side effect of prozac that he won't have sexual desire or the ability to have sex when the time comes.
I don't feel it's appropriate to ask about this side effect, so shoud I just wait it out?

Is 10 mg really enough to hinder his sex drive and ability?

Hello muffin:

You DID. I'd jump his bones tonight.

There is no way to tell if it will affect his sex drive until the time comes as it affects some people like that, but not all.

Muffin, have the two of you talked about having sex? Birth control, diseases, etc. The things you need to know about a partner before instead of after you have sex. You don't have to bring it up until you are ready, but it is just one more item to discuss.

Don't let it worry you, because that in itself will cause performance issues, but do be prepared for the 'what if'.

It might even help him relax about any concerns he has if he knows you are willing to be understanding and work with him.

If you are interested in a sexual relationship, ask him. If you are ready for sex you're ready for a frank discussion.

As has been said he could be reluctant for a variety of reasons. Find out by asking him.

I am also not sure why you want a physical relationship when you admit you are not certain about the relationship - https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dating...et-587530.html

You have (apparently) a history of some pretty bad relationships and were in therapy. What does your therapist say? Maybe you need to take this relationship slow until you are sure what you are looking for. https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relati...ed-522087.html
