All,
I was just over at NSF and noticed a Nugget of Gold from Kurtosis. This is something that I had LONG wondered about, why is it that my POIS symptoms were worse after a quick get it over with 'release' rather than having sex. (I had long forgotten about this problem since taking Niacin though)
This is a quote from Kurtosis responding to Meteo74 on the NSF about the same issue.
"People without POIS have observed a similar crash after quick masturbatory O's. It's just not as severe as POIS. You probably spend a lot longer having sex with your wife, meaning you're increasing dopamine levels to a higher plateau before the post O crash. You're also probably producing oxytocin which reduces the post O dopamine crash.
If you really want to reduce POIS symptoms following a solo O
then take it very slowly. Fast & frequent O's are the problem." Kurtosis
(Kurtosis, I hope you don't mind me starting a thread on this, but this has potentially answered a BIG Question for me and thought it was worthwhile sharing for those that don't venture to the 'Dark Side' anymore. And Thanks!)
