Sex and Sertraline :)

I’m currently on 50mg of sertraline for the past 5 weeks and have noticed small improvements but also noticed that my penis is a lot less sensitive and it takes much longer to ejaculate. It comes and goes (excuse the pun) and is worse sometimes more than others. 

One plus is that I had trouble getting erect before starting due to anxiety but my erections have mostly returned.

Anybody experienced the same? Do sexual side effects wain off after time or do they stick around?
