Hi there,
I'm new to this forum, and extremely grateful for discovering it! I'm a British national based in Argentina, living with POIS. I'm 35 years old and have had POIS since adolescence.
Amazingly, you might think, I have only recently discovered I have it.
cheers!
Hi to the whole forum.
I just discovered the existence of pois too and I feel exactly the same way.
I think I've had it since I was a teenager when I started masturbating. Then it was more intense and I had to miss college a few times. I think my symptoms have lessened over time. Symptoms occur almost exclusively with masturbation and rarely with normal sex. They include depressed mood, anxiety, headache, cold symptoms and difficulty sleeping. I always put it down to being stressed and I always felt really guilty after masturbating. I hardly ever remember ejaculating and being happy and relaxed.
I often avoided masturbating to avoid feeling sick or getting sick at times I shouldn't have.
After many years (i'm 45 y.o) I know that the symptoms are reduced when I took a hot bath and then ejaculate (maybe something with the prostate fluid ?).
I am grateful to have found the forum
