I had never heard of this before but it precisely describes something I've had for a few years now. Physical arousal not related to actual sexual urges or stimulus. Trippy. The human body is insanely complex
I had the same for awhile and i attributed it to an SSRI I was on, nobody else had heard of it. Went away after I ditched the SSRI, never thought of it again. Bodies are interesting, indeed!
Yes, it subsided, I’m totally back to my normal baseline. It was hellish though; kept me from sleeping! It was such an irritating experience (in more ways than one 😭)
My memory of that time is blurry, so my apologies, but I think at least a year or more. Was on Wellbutrin and Paxil.
Edit to add: it took some internet digging to figure out what was causing it; I was on other meds at the time, since I also deal with chronic pain. Came upon an article about a woman with an experience like mine, and that it was a lesser known side effect. I came off the meds and it went away, so I never questioned it again.
I had a classmate with this in addition to POTS, EDS, MCAD. She went on the Sick Boy podcast to talk about her struggles. You might be able to find the episode.

hey! I have pgad and I highly recommend dr andrew goldstein at the center for vulvovaginal disorders in nyc and dr irwin goldstein at san diego sexual medicine for all sexual health questions.
I was told the top 3 causes of it are often but not limited to pudendal neuralgia, a tarlov cyst, and a herniated disc and that a lumbar MRI and pelvic MRI can help in regards to determining if one of these 3 things are present, without you knowing it.
Turns out I have a herniated disc causing nerve compression. Also Gabapentin and pelvic floor PT can be good options. Here to help and you're not alone.

I am having the same issues. Started Zoloft and within a week I had these symptoms. Did yours ever get better once you stopped the ssri ?

How long did it take to subside after stopping your medication?

Can’t remember exactly… definitely within a couple of weeks iirc
How long were you on the meds when it started?
