Is it normal to feel like THIS after you jerk off??

[Javfly33]

I am way passed through the psychological shame of nofap ideology implanted me a while ago...I don't judge myself or feel bad psychologically after I jerk off ... I mean PHYSICALLY.

I feel absolutely dead tired, devastated, zero energy. 

It's difficult to accept masturbation as a regular habit of your weekly routine (maybe 1 each 3 days) when you feel so bad after doing it.

This is one of my main issues why I would push a button if I could to stop masturbating ever again : I won't feel like this ever again.

Usually after 2-3 hours I'm back to normal energy.

Do you exercise regularly?

I know the question isnt aimed at me. 

But in my case, yes I've been exercising 2 weeks now and choking my chicken definitely leads to less energy. 

I assume you did not use to exercise regularly before then, right?

@Harlen Kelly correct. 

Lack of exercise can lead to rapid exhaustion and lack of energy in general. If masturbation or ejaculation is affecting your energy levels so much, you need to focus more on your diet and daily activities.

It could be an actual condition, POIS (Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome). I only know about it cause other members here seem to have it.

Nope.

You got a disorder.

I actually gain energy, focus, and creativity from jerking off.

Maybe get your diet in order.

@Javfly33 Search POIS ( post orgasm illness syndrome).

It depends how you do that:

- If you ejaculate you will definitely deplete your energy

- If you orgasm but not ejaculate you lose some energy but still get energized at the same time. This will likely disorganize your energy - you may have higher energy but in a chaotic and nervous way.

- If you reach 8/10 intensity without orgasming it will probably raise your energy. 9/10 state is gray area.

 

I disagree with Leo. He probably mastered sexual energy so he will not deplete it easily and his opinion may be misleading. If you torture your genitals just to get off as quickly as possible you will definitely feel weak. If you do it consciously your energy loss will be much smaller.

@Leo Gura That literally doesn't make sense.

You must be getting it from something other than jerking off.

@Harlen Kelly And also I am doing regular exercise and I can tell you that jerking off makes me feel slightly weaker.

In fact, doing nofap has made me way more energetic and powerful in the gym, makes me more grounded and it's easier to focus on self actualization work

It has to do with dopamine. You burn all your dopamine receptors by watching porn and after that you feel exactly like you describe. If you want to fap, fap without porn. I don't think it is a physical problem but a problem in the brain. The brain is the ignition and you don't only use ignition for sex and masturbation but for all kinds of things to get stuff done.

It makes perfect sense. Sex calms the mind and body, makes focusing on serious business easy.

It's hard to focus when you are a thirsty dog.

You might have a point when I used to jerk off without porn I remember the crash wasn't so bad. (But I still experienced a crash thought)

I've mentioned this before and usually if you are experiencing lag / low-energy from fapping, you should almost always get your testosterone levels checked. I was diagnosed with low T and T-levels are declining every year. Since getting on TRT, jerking off is essential just to keep energy and libido levels at bay. Otherwise, I'd be a fucking savage. Jerking off should make you feel good, not worse. It's a biological issue you are having.

Masturbation is a healthy part of life. There is no reason to make a strawman out of it.

Ejaculation does not make me feel weaker at all. I can go exercise immediately after a session of sex or fap.

Same here @Harlen Kelly, All I know is that there ain't nothing better than a  good fap sesh. Maybe we should have a good sesh together.?

That escalated quickly.

@Leo Gura Is this without ejaculating that you dont feel tired afterwards?

In my country(South Korea) there is a saying "현자타임" meaning, 'wise person time' which refers to the time after you ejaculate.

I've always thought this meant the drained state right after ejaculation. I think I'll have to investigate this 'time' again!
