Can not having sex, make a guy really tired?!
Question:
Can not having sex, make a guy really tired?
If I don't do it for over a week, I get really tired, but then after doing it, I'm not tired for another week. Otherwise, I'm just so tired, and don't know why, so I think for some reason, maybe storing up sperm causing you to be tired, and when you lose it, you get your energy back.
Just wondering if this is something that is a medical fact. Does this happen to anyone else.
Answers:
I think the physiology of male sexual function would dictate that not having sex wouldn't make you tired.
As you don't have sex or there is no release of sexual tension and semen you will go into a hyper arousal state. This can lead to feeling edgy, frustrated, anxious, etc.
When a man has an orgasm the endorphins that are released in the brain tend to make men sleepy, this has been proven.
One factor you might want to consider is that it's possible that the tired feeling you have when not having sex puts you in a depressed state, not the same as a depressive disorder, but you may get depressed about it. In that case psychological assistance should be obtained.
