Barry: “Must think of Reggie...Must think of Reggie...Must think of Reggie...”

I remember having that feeling, back when I was in my 20s. Plenty of orgasms, loved my husband, but there was this melancholy thing that would hit after sex and I couldn’t make sense of it.

LOLOLOL...Perfect. Then look when happens when you find the right antidote...

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Bill Clinton always cried after having sex. I think it was the pepper spray.

“second most disappointing thing of the honeymoon”

Wow, what a clod.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

“Hey, Bubba, I’m not really in the mood, and I’ve got a killer headache. Couldn’t we just snuggle tonight?”

[ProtectOurFreedom]

LOL! Or the laughter at his bent willie.

Interesting...62 posts until we learn of a real case. Must have been awful. Sounds like you outgrew it?

Arousal is a form of stress, and stress is physically harmful to the organism. The body has some sort of mechanism to bring itself back down.

I knew that was coming. LMAO.

I actually haven't thought of it for a long time, but this article brings up those unexplainable sad feelings again.

Life has changed drastically - by time, tragedy, wisdom.

I am with the second man in my life, the one I intend to be the last and we have such a visceral connection. It's kind of still there but at the periphery. Maybe it's a sadness that some day one of us will die that those post-orgasmic endorphins bring on.

Maybe it's some cosmic reality check telling you, "hey, you realize this ain't going to last, right?"

Who knows?

[golux]

That's what the cigarettes were for.

Sex outside a dedicated marriage or committed relationship lacks the emotional connection necessary to turn this dysphoria into euphoria.

[DoughtyOne]

“:^), hey none of that...

[VTenigma]

OMGLOL

[Ambrosia]

You have hit the nail on the head!

[VeniVidiVici]

This is a joke, right?

[Hot Tabasco]

I’m sure those four were the ones who had to chew their arm off in order to get away before she woke up.........

Over aggregation. Married vs. steady relationship vs. one-night stand probably makes a big difference. Drunk vs. sober probably makes a big difference. The list of relevant variables might get quite long.

The wisdom of the ages is that casual, uncommitted sex is less satisfying. Today's culture is in rebellion on this point. I've no doubt that a lot of people are having a lot of unsatisfying sex.

It must dawn on them that there is more to life than sex.

Like, what now?

Most of the fun is the chase.
