Have you ever wondered why you feel bad after having satisfying sex? Or have you ever experienced such? Many people go through the same. However, it's not something to worry about because it's normal and may be because of some factors that you may control. 

After satisfying sex, both partners usually bask to feel emotionally good in the afterglow. However, this is different with some people because they feel bad occasionally after great sex. When someone feels bad or unhappy after having consensual and satisfying sex, it is known as postcoital Dysphoria. One usually experiences a series of negative feelings after wanting sex. The range of emotions includes irritability, anxiety, sadness, depression, and agitation after having sex with your partner. Here is everything you need to know about Postcoital Dysphoria.

Postcoital Dysphoria

Postcoital Dysphoria (PCD) is a negative feeling that one experiences after sex. It is different from sexual dysfunction in women. Postcoital Dysphoria is characterized by being depressed or having sad feelings after making love. You may also feel agitated or aggressive even if both of you agree to have sex. Postcoital Dysphoria affects women more than men. However, the research conducted is not much, but postcoital dysphoria experience is also common in men as per the recent studies. A study shows 41% of men were reported to have experienced Postcoital Dysphoria once. 3%of men experienced PCD regularly.

 The symptoms normally show after finishing consensual sex. It may happen after orgasm or even physical pleasure.

Symptoms Of PCD In Women 

Sadness

Feeling unsatisfied

Irritability

Tearfulness

Depression and anxiety

What Causes Postcoital Dysphoria

Thorough research has not been carried out to specify the underlying cause of postcoital Dysphoria. Nevertheless, scientists believe that various factors lead to such feelings. Below are some factors that may cause postcoital dysfunction

Abuse

 If you have a '’childhood sexual abuse" history, you might be at a higher risk of getting postcoital Dysphoria. Sexual abuse, be it in your childhood or when you are an adult, might cause the symptoms of postcoital Dysphoria. Emotional and physical abuse may also increase the chances of getting postcoital Dysphoria.

Anxiety

Sometimes childhood trauma may cause depression and anxiety. Such mental conditions are usually linked to being sad or lead to behavioral issues.  

Resentment

 People with an abuse history might resent sex or sexual experiences. They might feel that they lack total control over such encounters, leading to anxiety. Sometimes you can feel as though you are supposed to assert all your needs and wants that may make you feel irritated.

Postnatal Depression

 Hormonal fluctuations may lead to postnatal depression. Postnatal depression also referred to as postpartum depression, is a type of depression that occurs shortly after birth. Women experiencing this type of depression are most likely to undergo postcoital Dysphoria. This may be due to estrogen fluctuation, where the body becomes sensitive to it, increasing the risk of experiencing postnatal depression

Intimacy and Postcoital Dysphoria

Close relationship and intimacy are not factors causing postcoital Dysphoria. Studies show that the two don't relate. Despite all the misconceptions, postcoital Dysphoria isn't caused by a lack of intimacy or determined by the closeness of your relationship. Your intimate relationship might be healthy, but still, you may feel sad, depressed, and anxious after having sex. 

Mental Health Effects on Postcoital Dysphoria

If you are experiencing anxiety, childhood trauma depression, adult trauma, or postnatal depression, you are at a higher risk of getting postcoital Dysphoria. These conditions may turn the good sexual experience into sadness, shame, and doubt after sex. It is always good to talk to your doctor about your feelings. Alternatively, you can see your psychotherapist to handle the main cause of postcoital Dysphoria. You can overcome the trauma with the help of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Sometimes sex may put you in a very vulnerable position. Therapy may help you through those feelings. It is also good to express yourself to your partner about your feelings. If your intimate relationship is safe, you will feel comfortable bringing up the feelings. An open conversation may help you through with those feelings after sex

The Bottom Line

Postcoital Dysphoria is a negative feeling that one experiences after sex without being assaulted or forced into sex. One usually experiences a series of negative feelings after wanting sex. The range of emotions includes irritability, anxiety, sadness, depression, and agitation after having sex with your partner. This condition is not caused by not having sex, but it may be caused by trauma, anxiety, or depression. The good thing is that it can be controlled by therapy. It is important to talk to your partner about those feeling because being open sometimes help. Also, solving the cause of your depression, anxiety, or trauma may be a great way of solving postcoital Dysphoria.
