Summary
A person with long COVID reported no problem getting an erection but less intense orgasms, along with anxiety and 'covid brain'. They had not had sex since becoming ill and did not expect to for the foreseeable future. They had just come off a three-week ciprofloxacin course, and their long COVID had got worse about a week earlier, though they were unsure that was the cause.

I've already been prescribed Ciprofloxacin actually. Made no difference.

I just started on Xanax 2 days ago for my anxiety. It isn't helping much though.

I am on a tonne of supplements too of course.

I've been using moisturizer which has definitely helped but it still seems to come back every couple of weeks.
