(Mine is "not well done or medium" [] - sorry I couldn't resist, I love rare cooking of some meats)If you can forgive the silly humor, I'd appreciate knowing, Green.Haha, Let me try and explain the best I can, given I'm in POIS again If we use 1/100 as a percentage = 1% of the population are POIS sufferers[1] - Hypogonadism affects up to 4 million American men[1] - Male Hypogonadism. Part I: Epidemiology of Hypogonadism - AD SeftelPopulation of US - 311,148,000(4,000,000/311,148,000)*100 ≈ 1.28% of population, hypogonadism is not usually classed as a rare disorder and it's prevalence on the internet is quite common.Pair that to how many people we have on the forum that have dropped in and said they suffer from POIS is quite a low number, I know it can be quite difficult signing up and posting about POIS when you're in POIS, that might deter other POIS sufferers from signing up and making themselves known, but I still think it'd be a low number.Also everytime I talk about POIS to a doctor, I do ask how many people they recall exhibiting the same symptoms, besides Dr. Goldmeier that answer is 0, considering how many Dr's I have visited (a lot, different countries too) and the area they cover, POIS is indeed rare.I would put POIS at 0.001% - 0.005% of the population at the very most.Have fun at the fertility clinic today ^.^

Only time will tell.There's already a big difference in perception and awareness since 4 yrs ago, and eyes are just opening.The world is just recently puting on their glasses! How much more are they going to see?

anyone know treatments for people who suffer symptoms without ejaculation. any arrousal what so ever seems to put my body in dissaray. obviously this has nothing to do with a semen allergy, and i've read posts on here of people experiencing the same thing. most of the posts here focus on the allergy hypothesis so it's hard to find what i'm looking for
Fascinating! But then how severely restricted (or not) do you define POIS? Like the one-day POISers in the New York Times article? Howard Stern, who goes unconscious after orgasm for 10 hours?And many thanks, Green, for the sober reflection (in POIS yet!) I made a stab at it, and you improved it greatly! I was really hoping someone would do that.I'm at fertility clinic dropping off my sample, in POIS, sigh.
And now I'm driving ($185 fine for texting + driving...."But I'm only posting, officer!!" [] ) to the pharmacy to pick up my T/P Rx!...in one hour it'll be a battle between T/P and my semen (and that nasty old POIS Bully!). Maybe CNN will cover this???

Daveman - Is it possible for you to add another topic on the other site? labeled something along the lines of "case profile or POIS personal log" etc... I would post there regularly, I would be interested in seeing what other people do on a day to day basis with POIS, the aim of the being to update regularly.

If we take into consideration what Lauracostis says, perhaps we can STILL expect an improvement!!
The P/T contraceptive treatment, if it works may have the potential for working by alternate actions than just removing the sperm from our bodies(this is an alternate hypothesis to just the regular sperm allergy theory, and was the primary reason I thought of using P/T as a treatment). It will stop a myriad of hormones that are associated with the production of sperm. I believe that there is a possibility that these hormones are causing the reaction in our bodies; possibly something like "gonadotropin releasing hormone". these hormones are released after ejaculation to replace the sperm, I also believe that some of these hormones are preemptively released in response to arousal and stimulation in preparation of what the body believes will end in sperm loss to jump start the process of sperm production before ejaculation happens. Don't worry, if the P/T contraceptive works, there are a number of different possibilities why it is working besides just removing the sperm for sperm allergies. Another possible theory is based on the fact that both progesterone and testosterone can suppress the immune system. Progesterone is one of the possible hormones in pregnancy that some believe is responsible for the immune system not attacking the fetus as a foreign invader in the body during gestation. I am doing an obstetrics rotation right now and I have been told that autoimmune disease usually significantly improve during pregnancy and then return to normal afterward. The P/T contraceptive is going to cover a bunch of bases at once.
