Why do some people feel sad about sex?

The sex relationship is over. One partner experiences feelings of relaxation and happiness, while on the other hand, one may feel sad, empty.

Why do some people have feelings of sadness or anxiety after sex, and how common is this phenomenon?

It is called postcoital dysphorus (PCD) and includes feelings of sadness, depression, or anxiety that occur after a sexual relationship. These feelings may last for several minutes until several hours. It may happen once, at times, or it may stick to you as a model or part of sexual experience.

Not only is this situation more common than you might think, but almost everyone is sensitive to the PCD despite sexual orientation or gender, although not all experience it in the same way.

In some university studies in Australia, researchers tried to find out how often people experience PCD and their symptoms. In the first study of 230 women surveyed, researchers reported that 46 per cent of participants had experienced The PCD at least once in their lifetime. That percentage was slightly smaller in men's study, with 41% (The number of men questioned was 1208)

Why does Postcoital Intelligence appear?

While PCD is not a widely studied subject, some of the reasons include hormonal responses, feelings of relationship, guilt, problems with the body, sexual performance, a lack of orgasm, intense orgasm, sexual trauma, and so on.
