There is a case report of a 16-year old boy with "stuttering priapism" (i.e., extended period of waxing & waning erections) associated with WITHDRAWAL from extended release methylphenidate. There also seem to be a lot of informal reports in the blogosphere about sexual desire going through the roof in association with Concerta(probably the same phenomenon - what was embarrassing and troubling to the 16-year-old was probably more than welcome to the older set). I admit I researched this because I take Concerta and just recently seem to have been having similar weird symptoms around the time the medication is wearing off. Hope this helps!

Yes it does, I am 19 and I have been taking concerta since I was about 13. It makes it harder to get and keep an erection. Also, now that I have been taking it for awhile, when I forget to take it I get uncontrollable erections. It is probably the main reason I got through school but It left me with a lot of psychological effects.
