Genital sensitive comes back during dreams (rem sleep)
I've been living with pssd for couple years, I've noticed I have sex dreams once in a awhile and all feelings in my genitals come back and libido sky rockets. I have morning wood again but after I wake up all sensations disappear, I'm back into the suffering again.
Do other people experience this phenomenon?

For me no.. I have a normal amount of Sex dreams I would say (like before pssd, at the moment maybe even more often) and the numbness is the same like when I‘m awake.
Pssd didn’t really impact my libido so there‘s also no difference to being awake in that.

Re: Genital sensitive comes back during dreams (rem sleep)
Very interesting. This may be a key to healing.
For me, I've had feelings of love/romance come back in dreams, though it's been extremely rare. I've been completely unable to feel this while conscious. But while unconscious and dreaming, I've had a small handful of experiences where I could feel those feelings again. I can objectively recall experiencing it while dreaming but I can't feel it while conscious.
I've never experimented with lucid dreaming but have had friends who did it extensively. Might be worth looking into. If your libido and sensitivity come back occasionally while dreaming, that's huge. If we can answer "why," perhaps we can unravel more of this. If something happens to the brain while dreaming that is able to bypass the neurological changes caused by the medication, perhaps there's a way to make that happen while conscious.

I haven't had a proper erotic dreams on ages, they used to be frequent. To me healthy erotic dreams are a sign of recovery.
Re: Genital sensitive comes back during dreams (rem sleep)
Never noticed that, never had frequent erotic dreams, and they happened after long abstinence periods, but it makes sense because when sleeping the mind is supposed to be deeply relaxed, no inter dialogue ruminating problems, feeling guilty and doom surfing symptoms on the internet.Numbtomind 2 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 25, 2021 4:04 pm I've been living with pssd for couple years, I've noticed I have sex dreams once in a awhile and all feelings in my genitals come back and libido sky rockets.

Same boat. I took Anafranil and Mianserin for about 2 years.
Stopped taking them 4 months ago because I was experiencing severe ED.
After 4 months I have morning wood again and some sporadic and brief psychogenic erections (1/2 a week).However morning woods and daytime erections don’t last long, I lost them in a couple of minutes.

Re: Genital sensitive comes back during dreams (rem sleep)
what makes me think it’s the fact that if we can have even a small part of our libido back during sleep or in semi-sleepy state (hypnagogic and hypnopompic state), when our consciousness is less present, maybe there’s a little chance that there is some psychological factor that could prevents us from recovering (high anxiety/obsessive thoughts/depression etc..).
It’s just a speculation, I can hardly believe it myself. I don’t know what to think anymore. This condition is a nightmare.

Re: Genital sensitive comes back during dreams (rem sleep)
Huh, every time I've needed to nap during the day (when sleep deprived) I notice that the hypnagogic state feels like a euphoric extremely relaxed state. It mimics how I nostalgically reminisce on what it felt like during pre-PSSD life... what I have been missing since I took Prozac/Risperdal... the magic of life and the endogenous high that was my default state. You guys get what I'm saying or is it just Porn Addiction-induced severe Anhedonia? I wonder if porn addicts that have never taken a drug feels this way it's killing me not knowing what caused thiscosmo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 8:42 am what makes me think it’s the fact that if we can have even a small part of our libido back during sleep or in semi-sleepy state (hypnagogic and hypnopompic state), when our consciousness is less present, maybe there’s a little chance that there is some psychological factor that could prevents us from recovering (high anxiety/obsessive thoughts/depression etc..).

Yes some sleepy states gives me hard erection easy. Maybe because we feel relaxed, no anxiety.
Re: Genital sensitive comes back during dreams (rem sleep)
I’ve also noticed that sometimes during the day I feel a strange sensation in my genitals, like a tingling sensation.
I don’t know if this is related to nerves or blood inflow.
Maybe I’m just overthinking everything.
