Is that POIS?

[sasha91]

Hi there!

My name is Sasha, 23, i'm from Moscow.
Began sexual life at 21.

The most popular symptoms after O are deep fatigue, redness in eyes (dry eyes, slight burning sensation), sleepiness and on this background general depression. It's all like zombie style.
Some time ago I always noticed problems with memory.
All these symptoms always begin only after I will wake up on the other day. For example, usually I have sex at midnight and symptoms will come at the day time after i woke up.

And also all these symptoms will 100% disappear on the next day (if I had no sex during the new day). So, the sleep is a cure for me.
The main thing is the following. I DO NOT have symptoms after masturbation. I have it only after sex.

I thought I'm allergic on latex firstly, but i tried to masturbate with condom (was very funny experience) but "POIS" did not appear.
Does anyone has something similar? Do I have POIS? Do all of you have symptoms independently if you masturbating or having a sex?

Looking forward to finding the same guys as me!

Hello Sasha!

There is no scientific definition of POIS yet.  Personally, I think you don't have POIS (You should get more opinions though). However, Your complaint may be related to POIS somehow. as if you have" atypical/Slight" POIS. 
If you go through the forums, you will find that POIS sympotoms are more severe and last much longer. and I think 100% of POISers here get POIS after masturbation.
I once read on the internet a story of a guy who had POIS-like symptoms only after masturbation BUT NEVER after Sex (the opposite version of your story). That's the only case I have seen with independent symptoms.

a research on POIS is going to take place this year. Additional information are expected to be available.

I guess, for starters, you should check a Cardiologist and a Psychologist. your problem might be something much more simple than POIS (I hope )

I think while sex you get more excited so adrenals pump more hormones, for me its a adrenal crash. Try to strenghten you adrenal glands.

Thank you for answering!

I also think the difference between helping myself and sex is in different level of emission hormones into the bloodstream.
So, on the basis of this, I can conclude that a big level of some particular hormone impact on me in the POIS-like way.

This is not can be for sure an allergy on that hormone, it also might be some defensive reaction of my body that somehow starting attack on this harmless hormone or other element which appears usually after sex. Maybe I should somehow check out that theory?
For instance,
1)Find all the hormones\elements, which level increases usually after sex.
2)Start taking these hormones separately medicamentally.
3)If the theory is correct, one day I will receive POIS-like symptoms and will know on which hormone my body reacts as on hostilely.
4)Go to the smart doctor and tell him my experiment.

Is it real?

Hey Sasha! :]

So glad you found us! It's hard to say for sure, but to me it does sound a bit like POIS. Hopefully it's not POIS though and something simple like drmmeha mentioned. Sleep helps me too and "resets" me for the next day. I hope you can find some answers soon. If you have any questions, you can ask us and someone will answer them for you!

Don't worry Sasha, even if it turns out to be POIS, some very good research is about to start in the next couple months. Good luck!

I always thought that it could be a crazy reaction to a harmless hormone released after sex and so have thought of your method of "figuring out all hormones released after sex and then taking them to see what really causes the problem".  That would be great if someone did this and found what there reaction was against if it is an allergy.
