The only way we will ever have a noticeable enough mainstream medicine attention is by having at the very bare minimum at least 10 000 POISers here and/or in /r/POIS

And according to /u/Impossible_Ad on Reddit from Russia, he asked some researchers in a university how much funding at minimum would be needed for a POIS study decent enough to actually find possibly the underlying patterns and they said it would be at least 100 000 dollars at the very minimum

Even though those mini efforts and researches help we need to put our focus primarily on gathering all the unaware/undiagnosed POISers from Semen Retention and NoFap communities

Just go to the Semen Retention and subreddit enjoy being able to count a new unique individual case of POIS each minute as you scroll through those posts for several hours in a row

The issue is the religious cultural dogmatism and hesistance of many potential POISers to join here and on /r/POIS and discuss it constantly keeps the growth of the members stuck in this relatively hesitantly slow formula

And many of us are in our 20s and 30s and it is especially the worst for chronic ME/CFS types of POISers who even have symptoms when fully abstinent and get them from other triggers too

It is a massive waste of time/youth/energy/potential that POIS and its chronic background symptoms induce

So we should stop messing around and put our primary attention on massive recruitment and advertisement programs on abstinence communities and sexuality-related articles/websites

Another strategy is to contact editors of masturbation/orgasm/sexual health-related famous pages/articles/Wikipedia pages/etc. and make them include a text regarding POIS

This way whenever somebody searches up whether masturbation has got negative side effects after noticing the weird run down feeling they have got after masturbating/orgasming/ejaculating they will stumble upon those articles which will mention POIS and then they will search up more about it and find this forum and https://reddit.com/r/POIS subreddit

I agree with you on this issue.

I recommend Google Ads. It is cheap, easy to use.

Benefit: Anyone typing the word POIS in the Google search box will have the first search result as poiscenter.com.

It is much needed because there are currently no really search results for poiscenter.com.
You are 100% responsible for what you do with anything I post on this forum and of any consequence it could have for you.  Forum rule: ""Do not use POISCenter as a substitute for, or to give, medical advice" Read the remaining part at http://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php?topic=1.msg10259#msg10259

Message everybody on semen retention/nofap/abstinence communities complaining about symptoms post-orgasm and link them to POISCenter.com and /r/POIS

We will have an increasing growth of POISers which will bring more mainstream attention repeating the loop eventually making it a mainstreamely known disorder

But first we must de-brainwash those millions of nofappers out there who show obvious POIS symptoms

https://www.reddit.com/r/POIS/comments/rnn6og/this_year_of_2021_rpois_grew_from_851_to_1341/

Such a glorious rise in awareness of POIS since covid started!

I am 100% sure there are WAY MORE POISers at the very minimum hundreds of thousands all over the world and most likely 20-80 million or even larger percentage of the population have it

Let's keep snowballing POIS awareness, post about it on abstinence/NoFap/Semen Retention related communities, message people talking about symptoms after orgasm/masturbating/sex/wet dreams, contact popular people e.g. YouTube doctors, sexuality medias

We will turn POIS into a globally recognized and throughout researched condition

The antique pseudoscientific dogma is collapsing and awareness of post-orgasmic illness syndrome is skyrocketing!

POIS advertisement efforts have got /r/POIS to 1500 members

For last months I and other POISers have worked to post info about POIS on /r/NoFap and other subreddits and places on the Internet

Now /r/POIS has 1500 members

There is one issue with this forum though

The verification question could be easier and the software should be switched to XenForo as SMF is outdated and POISCenter looks like a semi-abandoned psychiatric ward fluorescent light early 2000s ARG community - Quantum or who was in charge of forum design/management - create a crowdfund for a XenForo license or whatever is needed to switch and use plugins/software that transfer forum data

Someone did a german AMA (Ask me Anything) about POIS that got nearly 600 upvotes in German-Speaking reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/de_IAmA/comments/ylsfu7/ich_leide_an_pois_post_orgasmic_illness_syndrom/

Top comment to the post is someone basically saying "Thanks a ton, thanks to you I finally know which condition I have"

The AMA poster also says in this comment:
"Poiscenter was a huge resource. The POIS subreddit has a too bad signal to noise ratio"

Amazing.

It got a lot of engagement and positive response

Those types of posts seem to get the most attention it seems

You should try making similar posts on other subreddits, perhaps on /r/NoNutNovember and on other general subreddits

It can help bring a lot of attention/new users to POIS

We must get more POISers to make similar posts on Reddit and elsewhere, detailing their experience and drawing more attention to POIS

Unfortunately 90% of POIS community are not actively engaged enough

I even created a discord server and posted an URL here but only like 20 from here joined

What is the issue, why so many users but most do not see the potential in the ways how we could get even more members and spread the word around and increase media attention?

I have many ideas on how to do that I just need POISers who are willing to partake in following through
