Patient's question:
Last night I masturbated and after ejaculation, I felt a very strong sense of fatigue, which passed after a while. I've also had this feeling after having sex with my girlfriend before. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
During sexual activity, men are naturally more active, and it could also be due to a nervous reflex after excitement, leading to fatigue. Sex first requires physical exertion, and additionally, a man's sexual climax involves intense mental focus. After ejaculation, the brain's excitability drops sharply, resulting in a sense of mental exhaustion, so it feels like fatigue after finishing. This sensation is mostly psychological, and most men fully recover their physical and mental state within 10 minutes after sex.
