How do you feel after masturbation?-poll

[Preety_India]

@Someone here no way. I never experienced this ever. I have no idea what you are talking about. 

It's news to me. 

I never felt even remotely disgusted.. 

I don't know about other people here.

Pretty much indifferent except less horny for about an hour or two 

Although I do remember this one single instance where it energized me. Couldn’t have been much older than ten at the time. I was at a neighborhood friend’s house and I fapped under their downstairs  piano while no one was in that area. Really wish I could get that effect every time but no two faps are identical.

@Someone here That can happen. I personally haven't experienced it but I have heard that some people deal with postcoital dysphoria. It usually happens with consensual sex with other people rather than masturbation but this happens because the orgasm feels like such a high, and then you crash horomonly speaking. This can be especially true in bdsm related activities and thus can be psychologically related as well. In those cases, it's usually the sub (but it can also be the dom) who experiences postcoital dysphoria because of how emotionally laborious the whole sexual dynamic can be. There are some people who feel the urge to cry after all of this. I have experienced this a couple of times after masturbation. Which is why things like aftercare is so important regardless of what kind of sex you're having or even if you're masturbating tbh.

Yes it happens because once you finish the peak of the sexual activity (the orgasm ) you crash down to zero . Your body release prolactin and other hormons that makes you feel sleepy ?tired and dizzy .

 my eyes get dark circles and I become more tired and fatigued. I'm guessing sperm is testosterone and losing that would tire me .

I'm not a scientist, nor an expert on the subject but I feel tired af after fapping.

Because when you cum you are expending a lot of energy, which will leave you feeling deprived, especially the next day.

Also you are desensitizing and saturating your neurochemical receptors, which leaves you with a lack of mental energy, focus, and motivation.

But worse than making you feel tired, porn use is physiologically similar to drug addictions such as cocaine, heroine. It has destroyed many people’s lives in the same way. Yet the mainstream hides the fact the porn addiction is an epidemic and has nothing but praise for the industry.

@Someone here I think it depends on what the orgasmy, orgasmed to.

You would need to ask a woman. It could be very different.

I guess for women it happens less intensely. Because they can have multiple orgasms  in a short period of time. Whereas us guys ..we are just one and done ?

[Osaid]

Lol you will develop fetishes or do "nasty" things if you are horny enough. I mean look at anal. I would even argue the normal sexual activities are gross to a certain degree, but sex isn't really about being "clean".

[thisintegrated]

Energized, confident, relaxed, happy, motivated.

[Preety_India]

@Someone here I get intense orgasms generally after which I'm sleepy and losing energy quickly. 

Then I need to wait a few hours to be back. 

Hope that clears.

Why do think that is though?  What's the scientific explanation for this? Why do we feel low after nutting? 

As far as i understand, the body goes into a "repair mode". It tries to recover from semen loss and it takes enourmous energy to generate semen cells. Even to produce normal body cells it takes energy, but semen cells are of a different nature that require manyfolds more energy because it carries a possibility of a new life or smth.

It's like if u get sick, all energy goes to heal that sickness and u feel weak. Or when u eat full stomach heavy meal, all energy goes into digestion and u feel sleepy. Same way the production of semen cells is not a joke for the body, it takes enourmous energy to produce them. Hence the explanation.

That's why u get more energy when u do no fap because now u can use all that extra energy that u would otherwise use for semen production to some other activity. U have more energy to use at your disposal. Your body is not busy rebuilding something over and over just to be thrown out again ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure your body continually produces semen regardless of whether or not you ejaculate?

So surely it makes no difference to energy levels?

Hmm, good point. I wouldn't know how to explain that. Maybe the body makes full priority of the production of sperm cells right after the ejaculation so all the energy goes there and causes the low energy for a day and then goes back to normal functioning the next day. And then when the spem cells reach its full count, the testies still continue to produce sperm but because the bank is full, now they get reabsorbed back into the body, storing and cultivating more and more energy at this point. Idk. Im just speculating.

@Someone hereMake a Poll asking WHY people masturbate. I think that has a lot to do with how we feel afterwards. Could be wrong, just an idea.

I'm trying to gather a consensus of how people here feel after they masturbate. as I'm trying to figure out the perfect sexual life for me

For males specially. But women are welcome to voice their opinion too.

The poll is anonymous .Also pls comment about how you feel right after masturbation. 

   Relief and calm, although depending what I fap to and how, I can also feel more positive or more negative along with the relaxation and calm. On the same day though, if I fap another time, I'd feel more tired and weaker around my throat, chest, balls and phantom pains around my body if I fap too much. Also brain fog for even fapping one time. I go between using porn and/or using imagination, sometimes just stroking without sexual thoughts or images.

   However, I've been on Nofap and did to about 30 times, most of them were weekly and a few I went past a month, and when I eventually relapsed it's a bit different from when I fapped a day or any other 2-4 days a week. This Nofap challenge I went for 15 days until I had to fap to relieve myself from blue ball like sensations. The first one didn't give relief and made the sensations a bit worse, so I had to take 15-20 minute break before fapping again to clear a bit more out., at this point I only felt a little bit happy relaxed and calm. An hour later I fapped again, which this time I felt I returned to somewhat normal levels of when I felt like if this was a daily fap.

   The pros outweigh the cons for me here, so it was worth the discipline needed to do Nofap.
