Question about Post masturbation

General Discussion
#1

Ok im recovering fine …but one problem.

When ever i masturbate and eja,

I feel like hell for about 24 - 36 hours. I feel slower mentally (I feel like i am retarded) and have less motivation, energy, and very very tired.

I can predict what the next few hours or next day will be like right after i mast. I am a zombie. Feel kinda like when i was on propecia. (This only happens after the business is taken care of)

I have stopped cause i don’t want to feel like this anymore.

So hormones change right after masturbation and is this causing this problem?

Been off pro for about 7 months now.
When i don’t eja for a few days i feel normal and happy.

Its so hard not to do but then if i do…What the hell?

I know what you’re talking about. Before Fin, I could blow like 4x and still have decent energy later that day.

But since Finasteride, I blow it 1x and I’m done for the next day… all the symptoms you describe. It’s quite a difference from how I used to be.

I suggest you read this:
reuniting.info/
reuniting.info/science
reuniting.info/science/research
reuniting.info/science/resea … l_hangover

That entire website is dedicated to the study of neurotransmitters/hormones before/during/after sex.

Prolactin rises after ejaculation so that may be one factor that is causing the issue for us. Attached is a graph from the site.

Hah… I checked prolactin, and it is low and within range… My feeling after masturbation is the same… it makes me feel lik sh**t right after and some hours later…

My personal opinion this is also a progesteron issue. When you are sexualy stimulated then hormonal output raises, when you finish… there is still to much progesteron that is not converted via 5AR, it circulates for some hours after masturbation plus you may also get testosteron converted to estradiol due to the progesteron 5AR inhibition effect. I think both progesteron, and estradiol then might be causing this problem.

Prolaction has also such ability but I checked it and it is very low.

Hey Mew, I know you’re good at this so I was wondering if I could ask you just what effect exactly does prolactin have on the other hormones of the body?

I’m thinking it reduces testosterone levels and possibly elevates progesterone, but what effect does it have on DHT, FSH, LH, etc. etc.

I think I read online that prolactin increases DHT but I’m not sure to trust these sources that I’ve casually browsed over. It would be funny if it actually turns out that masturbation aggravates BPH and hair loss.

It decreases your T…and thus also DHT, I would assume.

“Hyperprolactinemia inhibits gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) by increasing the release of dopamine from the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (dopamine inhibits GnRH secretion), thus inhibiting gonadal steroidogenesis, which is the cause of many of the symptoms described below.” Wiki

wow im not the only one…

This is fascinating…

Prolactin has nothing to do with this if low—> go and check.

In my case it comes first from the boosted progesteron and then estradiol.

after masturbation my pe4cker skrinks and feels cold and small…

i think high prolactin might be a prob of mine - my FSH is low too and that can be caused by high prolactin i think.

phoned an endo this morning and left a message but no cal yet…
