Hi, Clomi! It looks like it can go either way. It can cause decreased libido, anorgasmia, etc. in some people and yet in NIH studies it has been shown to increase libido, sexual performance, and is even being used an an aid in erectile dysfunction.
Looks like it favors the guys!
BTW, the percentage of sexual side effects ~ good or bad ~ is 1 ~ <10% of subjects.
Best wishes, WCV
