Depressed after orgasm--anyone else get this?

Posted by Chris O on January 24, 2005, at 15:53:24

I feel really depressed after I have an orgasm. It does not matter if it is alone or during sex with my girlfriend, I just feel physically horrible after having the orgasm. I know I have a lot of psychological shame in relationship to sex, but I am certain that this is something beyond this, something like a depletion of my neurotransmitters or whatever it is that keeps my mood in balance. Vitals: I am a 37 year old male, healthy physically (as far as I know, and yes, I've had recent physicals), but this feeling of depression post-orgasm seems to be getting worse as I get older. My specific feelings post-orgasm are: a sense of hopelessness, increased anxiety, a desire to isolate, a feeling of great shame, a headache--it basically amplifies all of my GAD/OCD symptoms. There was a time when I lamented the fact that SSRIs decreased my libido, but since I get to feeling crappy-depressy after an orgasm, I'm thinking maybe it's not such a bad thing anymore, the decreased libido. Oh, the joys of being brain damaged in early life!
