Das postorgasmische Krankheits-Syndrom ist eine seltene Störung, die nach Ejakulation eine Reihe von Symptomen verursacht, einschließlich Müdigkeit, kognitive Beeinträchtigung, Stimmungsstörungen und Muskelschmerzen. Männer, die leiden, berichten von einem geringen Selbstwertgefühl, Gefühlen der Hilflosigkeit und einer erheblichen Belastung in intimen Beziehungen.

From the linked article:
Post-orgasmic illness syndrome can severely disrupt relationships and mental health, new study suggests
A new study published in the International Journal of Impotence Research provides evidence that post-orgasmic illness syndrome, a little-known medical condition, may severely affect the emotional and relational well-being of those who experience it. **Men with the condition were found to report low self-esteem, feelings of helplessness, and significant strain in their intimate relationships**. The findings highlight a psychosocial burden that has received limited scientific attention and suggest a need for more comprehensive care approaches for this patient group.
**Post-orgasmic illness syndrome is a rare disorder that causes a range of physical and mental symptoms following ejaculation. These symptoms often include fatigue, cognitive impairment, mood disturbances, and muscle pain, and can last for days**. The condition has mostly been reported in men, although some reports suggest it may also affect women.
Despite being documented for over two decades, the underlying causes of post-orgasmic illness syndrome remain unclear. Some researchers have proposed that it is an allergic or autoimmune reaction to semen, while others have suggested links to hormone imbalances, nerve dysfunction, or psychological factors. Until recently, much of the scientific work on this condition has focused on trying to understand its physical causes and to develop treatments.
Sounds like overexertion.

I’m curious if they control for religious upbringing.
i wonder if its a type of dehydration.
the human body prioritizes reproduction over all else when its taking nutrients like zinc. So maybe taking zinc might help.
Or it could be a neurotransmitter issue similar to serotonin/dopamine toxicity. Using up your neurotransmitters for orgasms then having a defecit for things like proper sleep function or autonomic nervous system function.
people with depression actually have a harder time staying asleep. neurotransmitters are involved in quite a lot of normal human function
I sometimes get headaches and nausea immediately afterward.
I knew a guy with a really awful version of this; he got a little blown up in Iraq and it damaged him in the groin area. He told me it was 50/50 if he’d be in excrutiating pain post orgasm, like being kicked in the jewels. So he did not partake. Not a very happy man, but a very good one.
