You need to ask your p-doc for a prescription of cyproheptadine, which is totally safe antihistamine that counteracts the sexual side effects caused, for the most part, by serotonin-boosting drugs like SSRIs, SNRIs and MAOIs. Cyproheptadine helps both with lack of sensation and anorgasmia.
Your doctor may suggest wellbutrin but if I were you I wouldn't bother with it. It doesn't work nearly as well as cyproheptadine, and it has the worst effectiveness rate of all the anti-depressants. P-docs often prescribe simply because it's the only supposedly dopamine boosting AD they feel qualified to prescribe.Also, I really doubt you have OCD. It sounds more like the usual rumination associated with depression combined with the tendency most men have to be obsessive about sex in the first place.
