Do you think POST NUT syndrome is real?

[coachTanthony]

Post-coital tristesse (PCT), also known as post-coital dysphoria, is the feeling of sadness, anxiety, agitation or aggression, after sexual intercourse or masturbation. Its name comes from New Latin postcoitalis and French tristesse, literally "sadness".

[ManOnFire]

Wow. I guess I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of this until now. Either way, I can't say I've ever experienced that, and I honestly hope most men don't really either. It is the complete opposite for me: after sex I generally feel more relaxed, in a good mood, sometimes more energized, and overall quite content. Your balls and your perineum feel warm and comfortable which also contributes to that relaxed feeling. The only times I've ever felt sad after sex - or even masturbation - were because there was still something on my mind, something in my life distressing me that a sexual moment did not end up really soothing or distracting me from. But these had nothing to do with the sex/masturbation itself.

If there are men who really do experience this "PNS", and regularly, I feel like it would have to be tied to feeling unsatisfied because they came too fast even if they don't admit it, or that deep down there is much more from the sexual experience they want with a woman but are not really taking the time to get deeply intimate with her, i. e. lots of touching/foreplay first, talking dirty, making her laugh leading up to intimacy, eating her out, exploring her, etc. Or it could be other things tied to their sexual psychology that we and even these men don't really understand.

[IMuser]

Yup.

In my case, it's more of a guilt and the desire to forget everything and fall asleep. Often times, when I wake the next day, i am super irritated and unfocused (i am talking about masturbation as i am a virgin)

It's one of the primary reasons I tend to masturbate less (reducing the frequency these days)

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

I think so…
So many men seem to talk about it, that the possibility of it being real is very likely.


For my experience, I’ve never once witnessed my boyfriend be angry, agitated, or depressed after sex. Usually he’s absolutely ecstatic and energetic lol.

[JustiReno]

He wants to have your baby then ha

[ManOnFire]

@whattheheckkkk This is amazing. I've never been aware of this.

[PhenomenalQueen]

Yes it is real, the guys I’ve been with have been very calm or relaxed afterwards. One of them, he talks a little more and he shows excitement. (He was very affectionate) but obvious he wanted to sleep and sometimes he wanted to go another round. Lol

[OpenClose]

I mean, post-nut clarity is definitely a thing and something I specifically use for this function sometimes.

So for some guys, it's probably more intense. Maybe the brain being dependent on the dopamine for arousal.

[purplepoppy]

I suspect it's just a manifestation of self loathing after a poor sexual performance.

[Mcarlier84]

It happened to me, I used to be a frat boy and bully unfortunately, we had this exchange student cornered and she knew karate or something. She chopped him in the throat and when I came up and grabbed her from behind she reached back and death squeezed one of my balls until I was on the ground in tears. I still have some mental anxiety, depression and some long term Damage from it :(

[Parzival226]

@Mcarlier84 rip man

[Mcarlier84]

@Parzival226 Rip? Why

[Aakash_Hangargi]

@purplepoppy savage 👻. @Mcarlier84 sorry to hear that

[Mcarlier84]

@Aakash_Hangargi she was like some middle eastern girl with freckles , I’ll never forget her staring daggers through me as it happened😣

[Aakash_Hangargi]

But why did she sent below the belt isn't that against rules of something?

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Well you realise it was the result of your actions but it might have taught you a lesson maybe it was necessary a pinch in the balls to understand how your action impacts on others. Every action has consequences may be you turned into a better person forth then. So you need to understand and accept it as a wake up call rather than feeling depressed you should be happy that it made you better person you change your perception and that bad thing isn't really bad

[Mcarlier84]

What lesson? and it was definitely no pinch to me, much worse! It's hard to except someone so small owned me.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

You said you were bullying her right and cornered her so what she did was fair in her defense

[Mcarlier84]

@Aakash_Hangargi even though she destroyed one testicle?

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Every action has a consequence is all i can say. And what do you mean by destroyed both are functioning right for you?

[Mcarlier84]

@Aakash_Hangargi no one she broke:/

[Aakash_Hangargi]

As i said i am sorry to hear that , but it's your own doing mate for all the people you had troubled in past. But you stopped bullying after that incident right?

[Mcarlier84]

@Aakash_Hangargi form the most part, if I get hit there hard enough again i could require surgery

[RobT312]

I can’t say I experience that. I’m typically relaxed, happy, fulfilled and energized afterwards

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I feel amazing after I do all that. It clears my head up and I just feel ready to take on anything 😂

If I don't have time to jerk off in the morning, I know it's gonna be a hard day.

[NathanDavis]

it has never been real for me... nor from anybody I know

I do suspect that if you never watch certain movies or shows... dudes wouldn't even think of this as a thing

but I can't really speak for all others, lol

[DonkeyDan]

Never experienced it myself, but I am aware it is real yes.

[mb120101]

I have what the call PNC. Post nut clarity let’s you think about certain things from a new perspective

[FR_Ruby]

"aggression"? I never heard of that one; but the other stuff: most certainly true :)

[AvaOneLasTime]

Can't relate.

[Cuminginside]

Sometimes you have to learn how to mentally manage it.

[FunkyMonkee]

If it is, I've never suffered from it, whatever it is!

[Danny_dan92]

Absolutely dude. It’s happened to me many times.

[Icybread]

I don't think so, although I've read that some people feel bad after mastrubation cuz they felt unproductive.

[Ninania]

Yup, it's very real. Usually stems from shame and insecurity about sexuality.

[ManOnFire]

What kind of shame?

[LingyRolls]

This is 100% true. My husband likes to watch me have sex with other guys. He LOVES it! But sometimes he'll accidentally cum while watching and then there's a decent chance he's going to feel a sense of regret and insecurity. Men's brains flip like a switch after orgasm.

[ManOnFire]

@LingyRolls So then this would explain all that cuckold stuff.

[AvaOneLasTime]

@LingyRolls So, moral of the story... Have no fetishes. Even kinks! Noted.

[Cuminginside]

@ManOnFire apparently so.

[LingyRolls]

AvaOneLastDance: What? How the heck did you get that from what I said?

[LingyRolls]

@manonfire Maybe. Sexually is complex. I think different people have different reasons for liking what they like.

[ManOnFire]

@LingyRolls True. Sometimes guys really confuse me about what they're into more than women.

[troy_mclin]

I normally just get hungry and tired lol

[Andres77]

I think mine is a little different.
I usually just fall asleep.

[skytatoe]

I feel good after orgasm. I don't think I've ever had that. Sounds sucky though

[FýrdracaDócincel]

It's a thing.
It is very much a thing.

[Luopio27]

No but I do have delayed ejaculation where there seems to be no cure. It sounds cooler than it is. It takes at least 45 minutes to bust a nut. Since I dont have a playboy model girlfriend, just my hand, it doesn't feel good until the last minute. Its mentally exhausting and painful.

[Jamie05rhs]

I think that people only feel this if they're single or if they don't have a truly intimate relationship with their sexual partner.
