Welcome again!

" Hi, does anyone has experienced this? and how POIS triggered by just watching a sexual scene in a movie."

To answer your question YES! I have experienced POIS without orgasm!

In addition to POIS, I have lost all semen before I lost ability to ejaculate any more. My wife an I avoid all sexual contact usually...  Twice in the last year we got amorous and I got really turned on.  On both occasions, I came down with brain fog, headache, body aches, pelvic pain, reduced urology flow and function for several days afterwards. 

Since I have no semen, not even leakage, it can't be an allergy to semen.  I do leak Cowper's gland lubricant with long and intense excitation.  Never have been able to prove that retrograde ejaculation is occurring.

I'm reporting my experience to maybe jogged some docs or researchers imagination to find a cure for POIS!

I take Lyrica, Cymbalta, Cardura, Finasteride, B-12 injections, allergy shots, low PSA, sjogren's syndrom

Living in Taiwan, it can be rather difficult to express the discomfort this gives me. So here is a Chinese description of POIS:
性高潮後病情症候群是男性對自己的精液產生敏感，於性高潮及射精後出現類似感冒的症狀，包括發燒、流鼻水、極度疲倦和眼睛刺痛等，時間維持數分鐘至一周不等。性高潮後病情綜合症自2002年已然獲醫學文獻所記載，但其後一直久缺詳細研究，只認為與心理因素有關。直至2011年，荷蘭烏得勒支大學的精神病藥物學教授瓦爾丁格研究才得悉與精液敏感有關，瓦爾丁格以稀釋了的精液，向受訪者進行皮膚敏感測試，結果九成人出現敏感反應

I am 21 years old. I have POIS-like symptoms since puberty.

After discovering the term POIS last night, I also discovered the term Somatization Disorder.
I believe the symptoms of POIS and Somatization Disorder are similar.
I tried to solve Somatization Disorder, I ended up eliminate my POIS-like symptoms last night by doing two things.

(1) Physically: I breathe heavily while ejaculating.
(2) Mentally: I finished the first part of Mood Gym. newbielink:http://moodgym.anu.edu.au/welcome [nonactive]

Illness syndrome after orgasm the semen of men sensitive after orgasm and ejaculation flu-like symptoms, including fever, runny nose, extreme fatigue and eye irritation, the time to maintain a few minutes to one week ranging. Orgasm illness syndrome since 2002, has already been recorded in medical literature, but subsequently has been missing for a long time to study in detail, only that related to psychological factors.

NEWS ABOUT POIS AUSTRALIA ABC TV DOCUMENTARY!


Getting scientific about sex
From http://www.starobserver.com.au/life-style/body-life-style/2012/04/11/getting-scientific-about-sex/75546

Posted on 11 April 2012

The Royal Institution of Australia (RiAus), in collaboration with ABC TV’s Catalyst program, will host a special event examining the ins and outs of the modern human’s sexuality.
 
This live event will commence with an advanced screening of a new Catalyst special about sex, which examines two rare sexual conditions – persistent genital arousal disorder and post orgasmic illness syndrome.
 
“This event is shaping up to be one of our most interesting, it’s clear that a lot of people out there have a lot to say about sex, and a lot to ask,” said RiAus programs coordinator Deb Shaw.
 
“Dr Maryanne Demasi from Catalyst will be discussing her experience in making the TV program and the guests will carry out a general discussion of some of the more well-known and common sexual dysfunctions – libido, inability to achieve orgasm, erectile problems, unmatched desire etc – and why talking about them appears to be so taboo.”
 
Shaw said their ‘sexperts’ will be called upon to discuss their experiences as counsellors and medical practitioners and why people find talking about sex and sexual problems so difficult.
 
“Physical and virtual audience members will also be able to post their own questions during the event for discussion,” she said.
 
“We’ve already had people posting questions on our event website and people can keep doing this ahead of the event, it’s totally anonymous and is already throwing up a huge number of really interesting questions and comments.
 
“Most people are doing it but a lot of people find it incredibly difficult to talk about, that’s why we thought this was such an important event. Sex ultimately sits at the centre of our society and is fundamental for us as a species.”
 
Panellists for the event include Catalyst‘s Dr Maryanne Demasi, Sexologist Dr Patricia Weerakoon, and clinical psychologist Alan Jenkins.
 
It’s on
Thursday April 12
from 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
AUSTRALIA TIME
 at The Science Exchange, Exchange Place, Adelaide.

Hi everyone,

10 days back, I decided to not to have orgasm for next one or one and half month and I wanted to see how I will be free in Non-POIS period.

In this forum, I read that Niacin will reduce the POIS symptoms.  In our area, Niacin tablets is not available.  Hence I decided to use B.Complex (which contain Niacin) tablets instead of Niacin.  11 days back i decided to have orgasm and I have taken B.complex tablets 4 hours before the orgasm.  After 4 hours of orgasm, I took another B.complex tablet.  Further I also used Garlic.    In the first day of orgasm, I noticed reduction in POIS symptoms and I recovered from POIS symptoms in just 3 and half days completely.  From fourth day onwards I am completely relived from POIS symptoms and I started enjoying the days (after long time in my life) and i got peace in my mind.  From the fourth day I started meeting with my old friends and spend a time with them.  During these days, I was very happy, my concentration level is very high with good memory power and I was enjoying the days. 
 Yesterday, it was my 10th day after "O" and I gone to movie with my friends in a very good mood and enjoyment.  In the beginning of the movie, my mind has calmness, good concentration level and happiness exist. 

In the middle of  movie there was a Romantic scene and Sexual scene for 5 minutes.   While watching the scene I was normal and I did't observed any thing at that time.  But after coming out from the theater I was experienced the first day of POIS symptoms.  I did't able to drive cleraly while going to home and my mind started to exhaust and my concentration level and memory power hit a worst and in the night (during sleep) i got many dreams (I usually got more dreams in POIS period, i don't know the reason why it is like this, I can say it is excessive dreaming that will happen in POIS period).   Today the symptoms reached worst.  The symptoms were same as second day after "O" and now it is confirmed for me that I experiencing POIS symptoms without had "O" and these symptoms triggered by just watching a 4 minutes romance and Sexual scene in a movie.   

Hi, does anyone has experienced this? and how POIS triggered by just watching a sexual scene in a movie.

I have experienced this on a couple of occasions and dont view really explicit adult content on purpose anymore.  If you believe in Dr. Waldingers theory this could be easily explained by pre-ejaculatory fluid priming the ducting in your urethra and other reproductive lumens.  It is not necessary to see pre-ejaculatory fluid leaking from the penis for it to be present internally all throughout the ejaculatory ducting.

Hi all

(Good information for doctors)
I am a new guest ,
I was suffering from pois long time ago,

The reason why I am a POIS  sufferer is that I used to do hand masturbating several times per a day.
when I get married I think the symptoms will disappear,but it was not,

* If I had sex with my wife at late night and go to sleep so in the morning the symptoms are little,but if I do in the other times the symptoms are very sharp,
* If I had sex with my wife in the morning then the symptoms will be more severe than any other times .
* The symptoms appears when : 1. thinking about sex 2. see women 3. speak about sex
4. seed 5.make love with my wife.

Believe me the reason of POIS is hand masturbating,and if a man remains to have sex with awoman then he will be ok even he had much sex per aday.so why ...
Please doctors give us atreatment.

[GoingCrazy]

I still find it very strange how POIS can be a relatively new condition without the symptoms listed anywhere in any kind of old book or medical literature.  I don't think this is a disease because all of us are from different parts of the world, a disease or virus would be more localized.  It's also tough to explain for it to be an immune system reaction or genetics.  Where did the last few thousand years of humanity go?  How can there be no evidence of this syndrome in the past?  Did our genes just all decide during the same exact era to carry through with a reaction against semen?  Or our we the first ever humans on this planet to decide to talk about this problem?


P.S.  Good job observer (and others) on the tv show documentary

[GoingCrazy]

To answer my own question, I guess other POIS'ers in the past were probably dismissed by their doctors as having some sort of psychological problem.  Without having the internet as we do today, it would be really tough finding others who share the same problem, thus maybe no entries in medical literature?
