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

[fopylo]

@Leo Gura Quite the opposite for me. When I'm on nofap then my mind stops thinking about sex, making my focus much better. Still doesn't make sense that you have more energy. It calms the body like you said

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

Bro, I can ejaculate several times in a row and my day will only be better.

Your seed is not some precious resources that needs to be conserved.

[Gregp]

Conserve your most precious energy.

 Man's seed is actually precious. It can create life. Can there be even be more precious than that? Human male body has to work full time to restore the sperm. That is why Hill said that most successful people don't fap. When you don't fap, the body will use the excess nutrients not on sperm but on your body and brain. You actually be smarter and sharper. If you can't relax with cum in your balls you have issues. That is a different story and not related to this topic.

Either way you should master orgasms and semen retention.

Keep porn and fapping out of your life. Personal experience is that I (and so many others) feel a heck of a lot better when not fapping/watching porn and the sexual energy goes to other things in your life.

While I agree that semen should not be conserved religously, however, I cannot nor lust to ejaculate more than once in a row (it hurts) and 70% of the time I become tired too. I observed myself for years, it's just how it is. 

I guess our bodies are just simply differernt

@Ghost The older you get the more you'll notice it costs energy. Mantaks advised frequency of ejaculation is dependant on age. If you are more sensitive to energy , by training or naturally , you clearly feel a losing of energy. In Mantaks system you pull up the energy in the balls to the brain.

You might have Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome, but since you only feel depleted for 2-3 hours this is probably not the case.
If you can, just jerk off right before bed, otherwise, try flush niacin (500mg) on the day you are going to orgasm, this is what is generally done in the case of pois and helps aliviating the symptoms. 
Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome is still not well understood, but the most known theory is that it is a condition triggered by specific cytokines that are released by an auto-immune reaction to your own seminal fluid, in this case, anti inflammatories before orgasming can help, but obviously it is not the best aproach long term. 
However, since you only feel depleted for some hours, i would point it to some residual shame/guilt associated, even though the symptoms are physical this can still happen.

[Danioover9000]

   Dude, you are lucky. My P.O.I.S is much severe, that after fapping, I sometimes get pins and needles around my balls, chest and throat. I also feel feverish after a session, and cold around my hands and feet. I am sick and tired of people downplaying P.O.I.S, it can be quite frustrating to deal with. Worst part is it also happens in real sex, so I have to plan ahead and make the activity, real sex or masturbation, actual count for my relaxation somehow. That, or take longer breaks if I feel the sever symptoms.

I'll have to check out Mantaks, but I was like this since the beginning of my masturbation journey, now I'm only 22.

To be honest I never want to believe in "bro science" or so on. The only thing that I can say is that from my experience, placebo or not, when I do not ejaculate for days, weeks, or months I just naturally feel better, I am more happy, more confident, more "stable" and grounded and I even look better. My skin looks better, my eyes becomes more alive etc. I do not want to say this is because I actually believe in NoFap so much that this is just a placebo effect but the difference is so obvious.

If I spend a week jerking off every day and watch porn, when I look in the mirror I look f*cking dead, I wake up feeling nervous/anxious, I cannot keep eye contact with people the same way, my voice become more high pitched, I feel "empty" and not grounded and just a total mess. 

Scientific evidence or not, I don't care. What I do care about is the experience that I have, that probably many others can relate to. What matters are the effects and that's it.

It depletes my energy no doubt. This isn't uncommon thought in eastern paradigms as well. When I was younger (12 - 16) I had no problems ejaculating every day or every second day. I am 20 now, and I can say without a doubt it gives me negative effects if I do it more than once every 2 weeks. It's difficult to understand why this happens to some of us and then doesn't to others. We're probably all wired differently energetically. I have friends IRL that feel the exact same way, and others that don't.

   I have felt similar as well. I could fap with and without porn and experience very few negative effects when I was much younger, but doing it mid 20 I felt slightly more negative effects, along with P.O.I.S. I had to keep disciplined whenever I choose to release, and it does sometimes take out the enjoyment of releasing.

It's really simple - respect how you feel after doing things and the signals you get from your mind and body. It is communicating stuff to you constantly and doing it for a reason.

If you reliably feel physically "devastated" after masturbating then perhaps it's not a good idea for you to do it..... but if you really need that release, find a workaround!

Perhaps only do the act right before you go to bed, so you fall asleep easier.

There you go, two birds for one stone.

Or in this case I guess it's "two stones and one bird".

This already quite acknowledged with men. But less known is women often have the same and then it can be a silent relationkiller:

Is that because of ejaculation in general or something specific to you?

Every day? Lol

At that age I could ejaculate 20 times in a row with no problem. The only limit was physical exhaustion and dick burn.

Oh, the glory days.

You guys got some seriously weak sex drives.

You don't understand what ejaculation is until you cum 20 times in row.
