Well, I've been taking 5mg EOD of Selegiline for 2 weeks now and I've got to say, I like it. I haven't noticed raging boners or anything, but it does seem to stave off ejaculation for a while longer than normal, and it makes me a bit hornier than I already was.
For those that don't know why I'm using Selegiline, I have been taking it to try and lower my prolactin levels among other things. I must admit that I have no idea if they are high since I didn't get a hormone test before starting it.
I'm going to take 5mg EOD for a few more weeks, then switch to 5mg/day to see what effects I feel, if any.

"Selegiline has immune-system-boosting and anti-neurodegenerative effects. Its use increases the level of tyrosine hydroxylase, growth hormone, cerebral nitric oxide and the production of key interleukins. Selegiline offers protection against DNA damage and oxidative stress by hydroxyl and peroxyl radical trapping; and against excitotoxic damage from glutamate. In addition, selegiline stimulates the release of superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD is a key enzyme which helps to quench the production of damaging free-radicals. Potentially, selegiline may prevent or reverse iron-induced memory impairment. The deposition of excess iron in the brain is implicated several neurodegenerative diseases.
Selegiline protects the mitochondria via its effects on mitochondrial membrane permeability: it directly interacts with the pore-forming structures. Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of the eukaryotic cell where oxygen respiration occurs. If the mitochondrial theory of aging is correct, then the root cause of aging is damage to mitochondrial DNA by free radical leakage from adjacent respiratory proteins. Alas selegiline itself is not an elixir of eternal youth. But its current "off-label" use by life-extensionists prefigures the longevity-enhancing mitochondrial medicine of decades to come.
Taken consistently at low dosage, selegiline tends to extend the life-expectancy of rats by some 20%; enhances drive, libido and endurance; and independently improves cognitive performance in Alzheimer's patients and in some healthy normals. Its protective role against age-related memory decline derives at least in part from its protection of hippocampal neurons in the aging brain. Aging drug-free rats have poorer spatial memories and fewer hippocampal neurons than their counterparts on selegiline. Selegiline is already used successfully to treat canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS) in dogs."
