Love & Relationships Post Orgasmic Depre Chiedza Mebe Have you ever had the most amazing intimate encounter, were two souls set alight a powerful spark, a connection so undeniable, only to feel extremely low soon after? A number of people feel this way, especially when they seek a deeper connection and the only connection they get is plus or minus twenty minutes of bliss and after that it’s back to reality. This has been coined a somewhat post orgasmic depression. Medically this rare condition is known as Post-orgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) or Post-coital tristesse (PCT). Sadness after sex is a very real condition. It is however, not common to hear that some people feel depressed soon after sex. The truth is suffer ers of this condition are not alone, a number of people feel that way. When the afterglow of sexual intercourse is replaced with negative feelings of depression instead of positive mood boosting emotions it can become frustrating and confusing for the sufferer. According to experts there are many reasons why someone would feel this way. The answer is usually psychological. Some reasons include post traumatic stress disorder for example in rape victims, having sexual relations with an abusive individual, not being ready for sex, fears of rejection, guilt, shame, emotional distance within a relationship and low self esteem. Experts have further pointed out that one’s biology may also be against them. The science behind this condition is that one’s body creates the hormone prolactin which counteracts the release of dopamine, the sexual arousal hormone. Prolactin is the cause of one’s depressed state soon after sexual activity. Walter Last the writer of the Neurochemistry of sex, in his work stated that “Orgasm is generally regarded as the ultimate goal of recreational sex. Wilhelm the nature and purpose of the orgasm as a discharge of excess bio-energy with additional liberation of feeling energy and he also recognized the negative consequences of blocked sexual energies.” Last went on to explain that, “After orgasm dopamine levels fall sharply with the usual withdrawal symptoms. This reaction tends to be immediate in males and delayed in females. Also prolactin levels rise and androgen receptors fall after orgasm. Low testosterone is associated with irritability and anger.” This is usually why an individual may after sex. Psychiatrist Dr Friedman discussed this very phenomenon where he prescribed Prozac which also goes by the name Fluoxetine to patients who experienced this phenomenon. This medication is known to be one of the most effective anti-depressants on the market. Although patients noticed a reduction in sexual the results after taking the medication. It can be hard for any sufferer to, not that occur during and after a sexual experience. There is a way out and your you do suffer from this condition, if the symptoms continue to present themselves and you want to rid yourself of the negative emotions that after sex brings it would be wise to seek professional help.
