Lifetime POIS

[Quantum]

Thanks for the very detailed answer, Observer!  And a clear and detailed answer was indeed needed for this.

I would like to make a precision, for other members who would want to try:  you have to be aware, that, for Observer, niacin is effective in the first place, and has been for many years ( I even included him in the list of reference members for success with niacin, in my POIS types chart - see http://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php?topic=2338.msg19448#msg19448 ).

So, if niacin is not effective to prevent POIS for you, for a single orgasm, it obviously won't be for a second one, or it would otherwise defy logic......

If you never tried niacin before, I suggest you first try niacin before one single release, and see what it does for you, before trying the Observer protocol for "second orgasm on niacin to eliminate POIS symptoms of a previous first one"

Even if you have some success with niacin, usually, this does not mean, anyway, that you will have the same beneficial effect as Observer has for a second one.

Perfect response, Quantum.

Thanks for your clarification!

In these days I am experiencing a great reduction in libido, this is bugging me because it's true that is a relief and don't have the necessity to masturbate and consequently don't have POIS but I have fear that this will destroy my sexual life in combination with POIS, eliminating masturbation could be ok but in a relationship these two problems will destroy everything, maybe I need an asexual girlfriend.

Guys I know a case stranger than mine probably, a guy who I knew in a forum of social anxiety that complains about feeling depressed after masturbation and brain fogged but only if the porn who him watched was particularly hardcore, with pornography more soft he doesn't have symptoms, this made me think about the neurotrasmitter theory, maybe the dopamine conntected with the arousal and the orgasm could be responsable, I noted in myself that sometimes when I watched erotica and not porn the symptoms of POIS were lighter, I need to retry some day.

I think that porn type of depression is psychological.  I think it is more of a "guilt" feeling of watching porn that contributes to that type (if he is indeed normal when not watching porn and ejaculates).

I fear my prostatitis complicated and cause a little of semen loss in the night that in turn trigger a light version of POIS but I'm not sure if it is semen or urine, for now I had POIS only after nocturnal emission associated with erotic dreams, can't say if only semen release can cause POIS for me, by the way I'm not sure if the liquid released by the prostate can be called semen, I know it is mainly produced in the testes.

Hi Unvers,

For your information, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semen#Human_semen , in the chart, to see semen composition.  You will see that only 2% to 5% of the semen volume comes from the testes.   The prostatic fluid accounts for 25 to 30 %.  The bigger part of the semen comes from the seminal vesicles ( 65-75%), and less than 1% comes from the bulbourethral glands.   


Since all members that had vasectomy (including myself) had absolutely no change in their POIS, we can say that we are sure at 100% that if there is an antigen at play in POIS, it cannot come from the testes ( because vasectomy cuts the channels by which the testes send their "contribution" for semen composition.   This antigen would have to come either from the prostate, the seminal glands, or the bulbourethral glands.

I noted that I tend to have symptoms like depression and anxiety even when not in POIS, in my case POIS is only a multiplier of these problems, brain fog without POIS tend to be absent luckily.
