Yes Wellbutrin (Bupropion), (marketed in NZ under trade name Zyban for smoking cessation) actually enhances sex and makes orgasms more intense.
The effects of SSRIs on libido was grossly under-reported by the drug companies. They claim 10% to 15% would suffer reduced libido but the reality is more like 60% to 80%.
