Description
Gal Saffati and co-authors report a young man who reached orgasm for the first time after taking a drug approved for women's low desire, in a 2023 case report. The patient, aged 28, had lifelong anorgasmia, the inability to climax, with normal erections, drive, and energy. No standard treatment exists for the condition.
He had already failed several off-label drugs and months of sex therapy. His team then tried flibanserin, a daily pill sold for female desire disorders, used here off-label. After about a month of doses, he climaxed for the first time. Side effects included night-time urination and poor sleep, and his function score rose only slightly. The authors share the case as a lead, and call for proper trials before any wider use in men.
