Weakness after masturbation/working out?

[pinedews]

This is embarrassing but long story short I’ve been feeling weakness in my arms and legs after masturbation and I’ve been freaking out about it for months now. It’s gotten better just because I’m tired of thinking about it so I know it’s just anxiety but it won’t completely go away. At first I’d have palpitations and feel like I’d pass out after sex but now I just have weakness mainly in my legs and a foggy head with a bit of head pressure. It started (or I started noticing it) after I heard about a guy who had panic attacks during sex and I know it’s probably that. But I’ve convinced myself that I have POIS (post orgasmic illness syndrome) which is considered a rare disease and also mainly effects men so it would be even more rare for me. The feeling carries into the next day so I’ve been trying to plan it around things I have to do. I’ve noticed in the past weak though that Ive gotten the weak legs and arms after I work out or lousy exert my muscles. It must be muscle tension or something. Does anyone else get this feeling??? I know I HAVE to be overthinking this but it’s driving me crazy.

In the words of Rocky's legendary trainer, Mickie, [gruff Popeye voice] "women weaken legs!"

Sex & masturbation are a release and so it's normal to feel relaxed or worn out afterwards. Try being a man desperately trying to stay awake so you don't get a slap for being an uncaring pig!

But more seriously, these activities can feel close to our anxiety symptoms and I often thought how excitement could tip over into panic for this reason but that was an anxious mind worries about feeling worse.

These activities place stress on the body and that can be difficult when the body is already overloaded due to these disorders. I remember spending a couple of months in the house at the worst of this to then find any walking was very hard work despite having spent years working miles daily.

What I found with sexual activities is that they are forms of exposure (in a therapeutic sense... I'm not a flasher ) and the more I got uses to the perceived new feelings and accepted it was ok to feel them the more I got over this.

Yeah, I have to since the ruling body of the Flasher's Association of Pomgolia (FAP) demanded I couldn't as the title was protected and I didn't have the right pubic indemnity insurance cover (bee stings, curious squirrels, frostbite, sunburn, faulty viagra, stiletto to the love spuds, etc).

I can't say I'll miss the lodge meetings though, talk about funny handshakes...

I'm on the black market now. Well, there's a black mark from a car window incident. Ruddy electric windows, it was much less dangerous with the wind up ones

I can always rely on you for a chuckle Terry.
Try the passenger side window.
I know it's a bit of a "stretch" but they aren't usually automatic.
