I am not saying that quitting SSRIs is the ultimate answer, it just works (sort of) for me mostly because I am not that depressed.

Also, having partial theories is not wrong, but in the case of SSRIs, I deliberately chose to avoid medications that I can do without (again, this is highly subjective).

Another concern of mine is that there are now warnings for some popular SSRIs that ED symptoms in men might be permanent.

They are for some of the unlucky 10%. Buspirone might help.
