were religious leaders of the past, pois sufferers ?

[poiseidon]

i was wondering on this. do you think religions usually are really serious about sex  because their leaders and inventors were suffering form pois. i know its silly .
but has anyone thought that afterall are luky we live in the present and fighting together this plague... think about the thousands of people in the past that suffered silently. maybe some of them went nuts and and realized orgasm was the devil and built a religion based on that.

Surely POIS changes the way you think about orgasm and sex..Especially when you dont know you have it..But this is too general..People who have POIS cant be 'leaders' due to the symptoms..People who have POIS tend to dissociate..Religions cant be formed by one man's believe and opinion..There are many reasons that religions are some kind of strict and sceptistic about orgasm and sex like for ethics and pneumatic reasons not for a disorder..After all POIS is a rare disease not sth that can affect populace..

well given the 1% of population affected is true i dont call that a rare disease.. i mean.. we are almost 7 bil on this planet..that makes 70 million potential pois sufferers..!! you could fill a country with that. a very f...ed up country thou  we may cut down that number to half since it mainly affects males. so still a good 45/50 millions goodfellas. thats why the work of our admin is so important on  spreading the word. we need those 50?mils knowing about pois.

ps as for the religious part  i was kinda joking. it was mostly a consideration related to the fact that pois may hit more people today than in the past due to our  modern lifestyle. no computer no videogames no porn  no costant sex tickling from media and advertising no sedentary lifestyle no junk food (or more likely , no food at all ) etc...

Hi Poiseidon and Everyone!

I've read this statistic on this forum before, written by a few others -- referring to "1% of the male population having POIS." 

This statistic has never been determined, and I'm not sure where this came from on the forum. There definitely is no established data on the prevalence or incidence of POIS.

It is probably more common that we think -- i agree with you entirely on that! But that has nothing to do with the fact that a condition may be rare or common.

In the US, a rare disease is one that has less than 200,000 affected people at any given time.  Most rare diseases have a prevalence of much less than 200,000. Some have less than 50 reported cases, world-wide.

In the European Union, the number varies from country to country -- but it's very close, statistically, to the official definition in the US. 

Post-orgasmic illness syndrome is basically an undiagnosed condition right now -- there is currently no way to diagnose it medically. There are no tests, no x-rays, no absolute markers are available yet -- because there was never solid funding for research.

However -- now there is solid funding for beginning true scieintific research. :-)

One day the % of the world's population with POIS will be known. But now, without question, POIS should be considered a rare condition.

I also want to tell just like you said that POIS sufferers might be way more..My opinion is that POIS sufferers are a lot of more than we think..I start to discover from my past people and teenagers precisly because i am a teenager too having these strange acts and behaviours which reminds me POIS..Lack of self-esteem,difficulty in creative thinking,difficulty in making decisions,very shy and depressed..And i sense that they might be in the same condition as me..I know i might be wrong and incorrect but i have this sense,this enstict that tells me this from the way they act,they behave,they speak..Feels so similar..A lot of boys..

I think the idea of masturbation depleting energy was present in taoism, so you never know. And I agree that there are other POIS sufferers out there that ignore their condition. A quick google search made me stumble with many people having the symptoms but ignoring it was POIS. But how can the word be spread?

To start with everyone can post about this on big forums in their countries. For this I suggest we get a template(don't know it it's the correct word) so it's very well written. I'm not a good writer so it'd be good if someone else would do this. Then we can just translate it into our language. Then I thought about writing to newspapers, tv shows and other stuff, I also got a mad thought about driving around the whole country with flyers to put in mailboxes haha, maybe a little bit over the top..

Also we should tell every doctor we see about this and mail those we can on the internet. And mail organisations who lists diseases.

I also thought about if one of us maybe knows a famous person and try spread it that way on twitter or something like that. Maybe we could start a twitter account ourselves about pois and try spread the word that way..

Just some thoughts from me, maybe some of them are a bit mad
