And although the idea that women were the most affected by this syndrome a study done by researchers at the School of Psychology and Counseling Technological University of Queensland, Australia and published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, the Men also suffer from postcoital dysphoria.
This after conducting a survey of more than 1,200 men from different parts of the world and discovering that 41% of them said they had suffered from postcoital dysphoria at some point in their lives and four percent said they suffered from it constantly.
According to Joel Maczkowiack, the postcoital dysphoria syndrome affects not only the sufferer, but also his partner and can generate tension and problems in the couple’s relationship.
If you suspect that your partner suffer from postcoital dysphoria, do not hesitate to seek psychological help and go to a sexologist, to cope with the situation and solve the problem.
It is a process, but the first step is to accept that you have a problem and work on it to enjoy your sexuality to the fullest.
