    • 2012, Allen Lawrence, Laura Edwards, “Self-Help in Gynecological Practice”, in Martha Kirkpatrick, editor, Women’s Sexual Development: Explorations of Inner Space, page 273:
      On the other hand, a woman with a major or recurrent problem (VD, unplanned pregnancies, recurrent vaginal infection, anorgasmia, etc.) needs guidance to find the root of her problem: Has she “mismotivated” herself”? Has she lost her “healthy image” of herself?
    • 2018 June 8, anonymous author, “My life in sex: ‘After taking antidepressants, my genitals felt numb’”, in The Guardian[1]:
      I've since discovered this side-effect isn't uncommon and has a name: PSSD (post-SSRI sexual dysfunction). I know men who also suffer with PSSD and struggle with the same genital numbness and anorgasmia, coupled with erectile dysfunction.
