Post masturbation clarity

Does any one feel bad after masturbation sometimes, like they get this clarity (“what was I doing”)? Sorry I hope this is allowed to talk about here, if not a mod can shut it down.

Nah.

Masturbation is normal behaviour. Why would you be ashamed of something normal?

Even after real sex. Pretty normal response depending on upbringing. For me being an ex- cradle catholic. I blame it on that.

But not into sex anymore or getting off.

I used to feel very guilty after getting naughty with myself.

Now I just feel super relaxed and relieved.

Maybe the problem is you’re doing it wrong.

There was a site long ago…
It had all informations on drugs, and among all mentioned that Zyprexa works for “masturbation guilt” (off label)…

I masturbated some as a teen. Got away from it in college. Found others more exciting. Never do now, but “just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in” about 13 years ago and was surprised at how soft I had become. I’m officially an ol’ lady.

I get clarity in the sense of “I knew it was a bad idea to contact my ex thank god I didn’t do that” but I am not sure this is what you mean :relaxed:

Yes, I feel bad after sex and masturbating…
In my opinion, sex, porno and masturbating in excess destroys people

Maybe you feel guilty because of spiritual or religious beliefs? Or religious upbringing? We can’t talk about religion here (it’s one of the rules), but I am just putting this out there, in case it applies to you.

I used to feel guilty, because of what I was taught growing up. But now I feel good afterward.

“Clarity” sounds good, a very bright and clear feeling. I can relate to that, especially after sex with a partner. Perhaps you mean this:

Post-coital tristesse (PCT ), also known as post-coital dysphoria, is the feeling of sadness, anxiety, agitation or aggression, after sexual intercourse or masturbation. Its name comes from New Latin postcoitalis and French tristesse , literally “sadness”. Many people with PCT may exhibit strong feelings of anxiety lasting from five minutes to two hours after coitus.[1]

A sexuality is necessary for adult life but I know what you mean, I wish it wasn’t necessary.

Nope I love myself enough to make love to myself… If that makes any sense

I think its related to nymphomania. Sexual assault experiences too.

That article is enlightening, @bluebutterfly Thank you. Sadness can be a strong feeling and I hate it when people are prodding me to cheer up. Sadness is real.
P,S, I have a friend whose name is Galen. I did not know that man of history before.

Yes I sometimes feel guilty after… especially if I look at porn. religious upbringing has much to do with it… I am bi and it is also hard to come to terms with… because my family will probably disown me if they knew. Maybe they won’t but I keep it to myself.
