SSRIs and an interesting... sexual side effect

Young man here. I've been put on different SSRIs and the more potent they were... the more my sexual experiences got intensified. Before taking them, I didn't knew what orgasm was. At the start of the treatment, just masturbating would give me near-blackouts. As the weeks go by, the effect gets less and less intense and I return to my unorgasmic state.

This might sound sick and offend some people, but does anyone know how I can make this effect of SSRIs permanent? Right now I can't afford to have a girlfriend and just flying solo while also getting it would alleviate some of the sexual frustration that accumulates.

Or at least tell me why I'm getting the opposite of what most men are supposedly getting.

I had a similar experience when I was on SSRIs, but I'm a girl, so that might make a difference. However I only experienced this when I abused my medication (one day I woke up in the morning and decided to take 50mg Paxil), which you shouldn't do; the side effects are terrible. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I doubt it's possible, though I'm not a professional. Maybe you could talk to your doc about upping the dose, or tell them about this.

Thanks for the answer. Though, it seems like this effect is coming back to me for some reason.
