New Theories / Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)
« on: 31/07/2011 05:48:47 »
Hi guys. I've been a lurker on this forum for a loooong time, checking in occasionally to see what progress may have been made. Sorry I have not contributed to the forum in that time but work, family, and other things have just kept me too busy.
I would tell all the details of my story but it's pretty much been heard before here many times. This thing has plagued my life and is, as you all know, a major curse and a cruel, cruel joke. Like many here, it lasts for a good 5 days with me and hence, I abstain for weeks and even months or else risk my job anything else having to do with being a normal, productive human being. It's a total panic, and I go from intelligent, dynamic superman to a worthless, shriveled shell of a human being who doesn't want to face anyone or anything until the horror passes.
Needless to say this is a huge hit with my wife, who loves sex and deserves the best. Thank GOD she's incredibly understanding, never makes me feel bad about it, and we just both want to work to find a solution. But now I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents and state for the record that although I greatly appreciate the work that's been done on the study and allergy theory, I'm not buying it for one single minute. I know this thing better than the back of my hand (no pun intended), we've been "friends" now for many years.
I just know, intuitively, beyond any "facts" that what I experience is nothing like an allergic reaction. It's more like being impaled by Kryptonite. It's like my entire physical, mental and spiritual beings DIE. It's more than any flu-like symptoms, more than any allergic reaction, and more than anything that can even be described with mere words. This much I know: THERE'S MORE TO IT than what's being concluded here.
I wish I could contribute something more but I'm afraid that's it. Thanks for listening...
