It would have to be dosed at dangerous levels and for a long period of time to effect libido negatively. Taken once in a while is no problem.
It is also thought to prove mild AI effects.

No problem. Just make sure if you are starting it (for the first time), go with the smallest dose you can find (usually 100mcg tablets, I believe) and work your way up. There is nothing worse than starting with a dose higher than you need and having a melatonin hangover the next day. It's also a good idea to try out the dosages on days that you don't need to get up in the morning, so that if you oversleep it's not a big deal.

If you were tired during after you woke up, you dosed it too high. With the correct dosing, you shouldn't feel any negative effects the next morning. I'd recommend trying 1mg and seeing how it works. With melatonin, it's best to use the lowest necessary dose (IMO) to achieve your desired effects without any negative sides.

There have been studied showing that melatonin increases time in the REM portion of the sleep cycle. By doing so, you may find yourself to feel fully rested with less than the typical 8 hours of sleep. The appropriate dose should help you maintain a sleeping state for a long enough period of time to feel rested.

I haven't heard about melatonin affecting your sex drive. But I have heard of guys getting melatonin and the peptide Melanotan mixed up. The latter of which will boost your libido.
As for taking Melatonin long term, I've gone for over a year taking it regularly with absolutely no problems with sleeping after stopping it's use even taking the doses as high as 20mg to see what would happen.
I can concur with taking a decent dose of it when you are not going to get enough sleep, and waking up feeling more refreshed. Often times if I'm going to get less than 6 hours of sleep I will take 5mg and I will feel like I got more when I wake up. It's one of those supps that I never go without.
One last comment, I prefer the regular stuff as opposed to the time release. I find that there is much less of a "hang-over" effect.

"Erase +DAA" does not equal "Erase"
Additionally, taking too much Erase "can" wreak havoc on your libido as well. Erase is an excellent product but it's all about finding your sweet spot when it comes to hormones/hormonal manipulation.

Melatonin is a hormone. As such, it CAN affect his libido; albelit more indirectly. Most people swear GH increases their libido. Melatonin increases GH production.
The endocrine system is not as simple and moreover, definitely fragile/sensitive to any flux.

Melatonin facilitates parasympathetic activity (i.e. erection) and reduces blood pressure, so it follows that libido would rise as well.

Ive taken extremely high doses of melatonin in the past as per Life Extension articles and research that indicates an anti-inflammatory/GH boosting potential. I've gone as high as 100 mg at night with no libido issues...in fact, Id say it was enhance a bit. The melatonin hangover side effect only lasts a few days until your body gets used to the higher levels.
