Sexual side effects are physical and I believe only effect men. Specifically it causes a tightening of certain (smooth?) muscles surrounding the urinary canal and, apparently, the groin region in general. Alpha 1 agonism can result in difficulty in achieving erection and retorgrade ejaculation. Flomax is an alpha 1 receptor blocker used for enlarged prostate conditions but also has been used in combo with reboxetine (an NE reuptake inhibitor) to eliminate the sexual and urinary difficulties that reboxetinbe can cause. As I said, I think these sexual (an urinary?) problems are limited to men.
