Tired after ejaculation

I'm 48-yrs-old now and have had this problem for as long as I can remember. For me the symptoms are physical exhaustion; blurry/watery/red eyes and brain fog - it feels as though I've been smoking cannabis, and I get the paranoid feeling that's associated with cannabis as well, it usually takes me about 10 days to 2 weeks to fully recover from ejaculation. My symptoms are so conspicuous that people who see me during the recovery period tend to ask me if I'm alright, "you look tired" or "have you been taking something" are some of the things that they ask me - I can't hide or mask the 'POIS' at all. One of the problems intrinsic to me is that I don't have to ejaculate at all to suffer from this, I don't need any physical stimulus to make myself turned on, I can do it just by thinking about it, but as soon as I get turned on, I invariably expel some pre-cum, the very watery looking fluid that's usually a pre-cursor to a full ejaculation, but expelling even just one drop of pre-cum is enough to send me into that stupor for at least a week. I read somewhere - I think it was on a Taoist website that when we ejaculate, we're expelling the 'life-force' fluid and that's why we feel drained after, this makes sense to me because imagine the energy and power that it must take to create a life, all this energy, the nutrients whatever are all contained in the semen, when we expend that kind of energy, it's bound to have an effect. I also think this is why sportsmen - boxers especially, are told to abstain from sex before fight, you do lose a lot of energy and I actually believe that it's a natural thing. The way I try to combat it is by abstaining from anything sexual at all but I admit, I'm not very good at it, i'm very highly sexed and I get turned on several times a day. Sometimes when I'm really good and have abstained for a couple of weeks and feel strong and energetic, nature will have a joke at my expense and make me have a wet dream, putting me back to square one again. In my last relationship, even just cuddling with my girlfriend was enough to stimulate me and I would invariably expel some pre-cum. It is a problem but I'm just trying to live with it and control it as best I can.

Hi mate I am in the same boat. I can't afford to have sex in the morning as I fall asleep after sex and my eyes are tired all day if I don't take that nap after sex I have been to kinesioloist and told my family doctor about it but no luck. I am going to try Macca herb and I'll be taking "male mojo" for 4 weeks and see what happens I am 36 live in Australia and I've had this since I was sixteen. I would have sex then nap and then wake for round 2 then nap again and go for round three then 4. My girlfriend at the time thought it was funny. I can only do 2 rounds at this age now but the nap is still with me See you back in 2 months

Same here alone! getting love from friends and family helps a lot in these kind of situations. taking medical suppliments what I came here for, vitmins, expressing minds I guess are also can be good treatments against this unCommon disease and more. still interested... Bye for now. 

I think that is a fantastic suggestion

It's called Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome search it on Wikipedia. I have had this condition for 5 years and I feel you it is when you are allergic to your own semen and It makes you really sick. It is very strange condition 1 in 100 men.

OP, as someone who has suffered from severe fatigue after ejaculation for more than a decade now, I may be able to shed some light. I recently discovered I have what is commonly referred to as MTHFR. It's a gene mutation that, long story short, leads to exhaustion.

By a miracle, I got an B-12 injection (methycobalamine, do not get other kind) and felt as if someone had poured life into my body. This started me on a two year journey which has culminated in realizing I have MTHFR.

There are very specific instructions in the video above about how to start treating this if you have it. mthfr.net contact page has specific instructions on how to get tested. One simple thing you can do is go the natural food store and get some methyl B-12 (I like the Val brand) and start taking it and see if you start to feel better. Or getting a shot if you can find one in your area.
