Having sex may feel like a badge of honor for many men, but for others, it’s an act that, once finished, brings about intense feelings of sadness. Researchers for the first time ever have identified that women aren’t the only ones who can suffer from this emotional tidal wave in the bedroom, better known as postcoital dysphoria, or PCD. PCD occurs when a person has enjoyable consensual sex with a partner, but is met with “inexplicable feelings of tearfulness, sadness, or irritability” afterwards.
...men can and do suffer from PCD which results in feelings of sadness, tearfulness or irritability following sex.
Researchers from the Queensland University of Technology say PCD had only previously been recognized in women, but after a survey of 1,208 men from numerous countries — including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Russia — it’s clear that the condition is more common among males than one might expect. In fact, four in 10 participants recalled suffering from PCD symptoms at some point in their lives.
“41% of participants reported experiencing PCD in their lifetime with 20 percent reporting they had experienced it in the previous four weeks,” said Maczkowiack, a masters student at the university’s school of psychology.
As many as 4 percent of the individuals, who voluntarily participated in the online questionnaire via postings on social media and psychological research websites, said they battle PCD symptoms regularly. Men acknowledged that statements such as “I don’t want to be touched and want to be left alone,” or “I feel unsatisfied, annoyed and very fidgety. All I really want is to leave and distract myself from everything I participated in,” applied to them when thinking about times they’d made love. Others described feeling “emotionless and empty” even though the sex was otherwise satisfactory.

Total unadulterated crap!
They did a study for this?
Obviously, they’ve never been alone, drunk and horny in a bar at last call.
PCD, huh? I would have thought it was Politically Correct Dementia or TDS. Learn something new everyday.
Too much soy.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard
Now I’m off to go rub my sexy wife
I'm sure there are lots of married men would appreciate even having the opportunity to experience PCD. "
Given Charlie is HIV+, he probably shared that PCD experience with some married men...
Me too.
They lost part of their essence I guess.
They turned the lights on?
I know I get to feeling that way. Like, “Yeah, that was great but this chicken is going to be on the dinner plate someday.” Can’t let it bring you down...
The sadness, I experience it too.
It is because for a brief moment I am no longer hitting it.

I couldn’t take it any longer Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother’s grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore, that I would love you to the end of time
So now I’m praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
‘Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don’t think that I can really survive
I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow
But god only knows what I can do right now
I’m praying for the end of time
It’s all that I can do (oh oh oh)
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my life with you
It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better that it is today

Maybe....Just maybe they forgot to mention this condition happens with gay men only. Just wondering.
