Hi Timey,
Are you a man or a woman? Just curious.. First of all I'm struck by your need to apologise profusely for giving your opinions and suggestions.. Please don't apologise I really appreciate your input!!
Definitely what you said rings many bells for sure. I always feel profoundly disappointed by sex, no matter how pleasurable it's been.. Afterwards I always feel that I didn't get what I actually needed.. And I think your suggestion that the need for closeness and belonging is being missed.. Even though my partners have loved me and wanted to cuddle after and all that, I have always felt that sex could be SO MUCH more, and the potential is always missed... And another thing you spoke of that resonated with me was about the heart... For some reason.. I never have felt much at all in my heart when having sex. It's all been about the 'hot' sexual aspect and love isn't really part of it.. Sigh.. I'm working on it!! Must get to the bottom of this!! Thanks again for your reply and sorry it took me so long to read it.. I posted my message in a moment of desperation and the. Forgot about it until now and came to check if anybody had replied! Was glad to see your thoughtful response.

Hi everyone,
I'm female, 28 years old. I've been experiencing a negative reaction after orgasm pretty much all of my sexual life.
Even as a young teenager I would cry a lot after masturbating and feel generally depressed. But it has gotten steadily
Worse to the point where I avoid orgasm as much as I can which for me is extremely difficult because I'm also kind of
Addicted to orgasm at the same time. The horniness just builds and builds until I can't take it any more. Then I orgasm,
And I'm down for a week. Truly sh1t, can't tell you. It's good to hear other women's stories. I'm interested to hear about the
Flu like symptoms. I don't he t those so much. My symptoms after orgasm are : extreme feeling of depletion/exhaustion. I literally
Feel drained of life force. Depressed. Anxiety. Difficulty sleeping, night sweats, weakness, brain fog, feeling totally in motivated,
Lose all desire to do anything. At its worst I have a full mental breakdown- totally lose it. Screaming, wailing with internal emotional
Pain. Also the sheer frustration of this happening over and over again. I get so angry at myself for having an orgasm because I know my health and wellbeing hinges on abstinence!! Oh, ladies... There is somerging not right here!!. And all these symptoms are kidney/adrenal related. I have adrenal fatigue and all my symptoms go away when I don't orgasm. I'm stronger, happy, full of energy, motivated and excited about life. I orgasm and I'm a different person after. Not sure how to move forward from here I feel like I'm stuck in a checkmate. But it's good to just tell my story and read others so I don't feel alone in this
