John, is nitrate the same as NO?
Dietary sources of L-glutamine include beef, chicken, fish, eggs, milk, dairy products, cabbage, beets, beans, spinach, and parsley. Small amounts of free L-glutamine are also found in vegetable juices and fermented foods, such as miso.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamine
Demografx - re recent post on symptoms.It was interesting to see you listed impaired creativity in bold. I can definitely relate to this. I had a strong talent as an artist. I used to draw + paint for the shear joy of it. Then suddenly around the time I started to be effected by pois in my late teens, I lost the ability and art became hard work and I was really critical of everything I did and would never finish any works. Just by avoiding orgasm for a week I suddenly dont get the talent back but when I have periods of good health I get a bit of the old urge back to be creative, but its not the same. I suspect that some people think I am lazy and wasting a god given talent.
I don't really understand this yet, but one would think it [nitrate] to be a raw ingredient for the body to produce NO.
Demografx - did the ADHD stimulants have any effect on your creativity?
I think someone in earlier post talked about reading a medical journal from 100 yrs ago that described a condition similar to pois.
Hi all, this is my first posting on the forum…though I have been following most of the posts for the last couple of weeks. I must say that though I am displeased that anyone has to suffer from POIS, I am grateful that I’m not alone in this struggle. It’s nice to have companions on a difficult journey. It’s hard to say when my POIS first began. I have always had a kind of mild low grade but always in the background form of depression ever since puberty started – which is about the same time I started masturbating and having orgasms. When I was younger POIS never really seemed to be present. Then gradually over the years I started to notice more of an effect (low energy after orgasm). At age 25 after a year of celibacy when I wanted to make sure everything was working ok I decided to have another orgasm. After that orgasm I notice a dramatic difference in the way my normal orgasmic response/cycle happens. What I noticed was that the next day after orgasm I felt like I had extremely low energy, I felt depressed, I had difficulty sleeping, anxiety (since I didn’t know what was going on) and a sluggish, dull, and grey mind. I’m now 27 and doing everything in my power to try and heal or cope with this particular issue. Things that seem to provide at least some amount of alleviation for me personally are B vitamins (mostly activated B6 as well as B12), vitamin C, exercise, and a high protein diet – Pretty much what some of the posts on this forum have suggested. However, even with all my effort I still have to cycle my orgasms 2 weeks apart minimum. I find though that it really takes me about three weeks to a month to get all the way back to normal. My primary symptoms are:- Very low energy after orgasm- Difficulty sleeping (this has gotten better and happens only occasionally)- Depression (the day after orgasm is the worst with each day after that getting slightly better)- Mental Fog Other Observations:- Difficulty connecting to people emotionally - Feelings of despair and negativity- Anhedonia/lack of joy and humor- Lack of spontaneity and creativity After reading many posts it sounds like perhaps my POIS isn’t a serve case, maybe even on the milder side, however, it still sucks and I would like it to go away. That being said, I would like to make myself available to the forum to answer any questions regarding my personal experiences with POIS if it would be useful. My current plan of action is to get a thyroid test, look into nitric oxcide supplementation. Also, does anyone know of a way to supplement Nitric Oxide naturally? Foods? Garlic? -Best

No money for POIS research because it's a small and rare population, which means pharmaceuticals (who have the largest research dollars to spend) can't make much money on it.
These are symptoms of dopamine deficiency. Maybe you MIGHT want to try a DRI like wilbutrin. Be aware that for example cocaine belongs to the same group of drugs. So you might maybe start to trip a little. Demografx has tried this drug so he might be able to tell you more.
...Germany was the land for sexual research prior to the 1930's and...Hitler leveled it all to the ground.
FYI: There is a connection between yogic breathing--through the nose and the production of nitric oxide.
