Hi, I'm 26 years old and believe I have a major problem when it comes to masterbating and sex which I hope someone here can help me with.

As long as I can remember back right after masterbation I've become overly tired, grumpy, emotional, even depressed to the point where I cannot function properly and I become a different person. I've found it to take generally 3 to 4 days before I can get my physical energy level back to normal. This also happens when I have sex. Normally, it happens 20 minutes after I ejaculate. I fall into this routine over and over again. Ejaculation equals over all bodily weakness for me for a few days.

It has gotten me so frustrated over the years because I don't know how to get help for this and I've been to over 20 Doctors about it and they give me silly advice like telling me to drink Ginger Tea and eat protein to get my energy back up. I've even been told that I may have a Pshycological problem. in other words theres something wrong with what I believe about sex in general which causes me to feel and think a certain way afterward based in my MIND. It's all in my head I've been told.

To me, that would be like telling a handicapt person that he's not handicapt at all, in fact, "Theres nothing wrong with your body". It Doesn't take a Scientist to look at a handicapt fella and realize it's not in his head. No, it's definitely physical what I'm feeling here. It affects my body and screws up my emotions for a few days. My energy, how I'm able to focus and I become slower and much weaker PHYSICALLY.

Now, I love sex as much as the next fella, but sometimes I've had to put it off knowing I need to focus the next day and be on top of my game, so I better not have sex or masterbate Because I know that I will have to pay the price if I do. It may seem silly but how it's affecting my life is no joke. I have sex or masterbate and then suffer because of it.

Please tell me there is someone on here who can give me adequate advice concerning this problem of mine. I know it's normal to feel tired or even relaxed after sex, but like I said this is definitely not what I'm experiencing. I'm hoping someone can recognize this problem and give me a possible solution. Trust me, I'm very open to what you may have to say because I'm starving for an answer here. Thank you for your time.
Hi there, I used to have the same problem (and still do), I read an interesting book on male multiple orgasms and it really helped me out. It's all about ancient Taoist teachings and helps to focus on the release of energy etc. I know at first it seems a little far out but it really does work. Basically it teaches a man does not have to ejaculate to reach orgasm and ejaculation can be detrimental to our health as it causes all the symptoms that you described in your post. If you've heard of 'edging' before its really similar, using your breathing and PC muscles when you reach the very height of no return stop and focus on your breathing and squeeze the PC muscle, this will stop you from ejaculating but you will orgasm. I feel much more energised after sex and masturbation now and only allow myself and full release once or twice a week just to keep the swimmers healthy.

Hope this helps Peace and Love.

I am exactly the same way. Since I am sensitive to caffeine, I can't really rely on that as a
"crutch" in this situation. My current theory is that ejaculation decreases dopamine levels and/or decreases the number of dopamine receptors in the brain. This can lead to the tiredness and lack of productivity that we feel in these situations. However, I have found a solution to this problem: a supplement called L-tyrosine. L-tyrosine gives me a dopamine boost and helps me return to a state of normalcy in the days following ejaculation. Try it out and let me know if you have any follow-up questions. I'm happy to discuss additional things such as the caffeine issue and how to be productive on less than 7 hours of sleep if you would like - I have found solutions to both of those problems as well.
