This group is devoted to discussing which commonly prescribed medications may have unwanted sexual side effects. We hope to empower you to discuss these side effects with your doctors and we will introduce you to some of the pharmacological and nonpharmacological strategies used to help address these sexual dysfunctions. The human sexual response cycle will be explored as a tool to help you optimize your sexual functioning and lead to more rewarding sexual experiences, regardless of which medications you are on. All genders welcome.
