Current medical treatment: zoloft and it has dropped my sexual libido to nothing"


Given your description, it seems that excessive masturbation prevents you from having contact with potential sexual partners. It's not possible to judge if you experience sexual dysfunction, or not, until you try having sex. It is not that important how you achieve an erection (masturbation, watching porn movies…) but whether or not you can get erect in the presence of a sexual partner. Excessive masturbation can exhaust sexual ability, so you might consider avoiding masturbation for some time and preserve yourself for some real sex. Furthermore, depression and antidepressants (Zoloft) can also affect libido, or sexual desire.

It seems possible that, in your case, sexual dysfunction is a functional problem rather than an organic one ... so Viagra can’t help you much. Instead, you can consult a mental health doctor about your problem for diagnosis and treatment alternatives, including psychotherapy.
