After orgasm depression: women suffer from sex

Who can forget the famous scene from When Harry Met Sally, during which the female protagonist was able to perfectly simulate orgasm, showing men that women know how to "pretend" to art. It was the same as Meg Ryan, who played the role of Sally, a hint: the rest is history. Always discussing female orgasm, the intensity, duration, difficulty reaching, even to treat him as a myth.

In reality, little or nothing has been said and written about a widespread problem, women and apparently underestimated even by specialists: the case of depression post-sex. Researchers at Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane (Australia) conducted a study, which involved 200 young women, 32.9% of them confessed to not feeling well at all after intercourse after orgasm.

A sort of inexplicable melancholy, which makes them depressed and anxious until they cry. Professor Robert Schweitzer, who led the study, put forward the hypothesis. It could be an emotional state tied to memories of sexual abuse, but has not proved a significant correlation, as well as with regard to the various women's psychological distress.

So the post-depression sex attributable to what could? "Women's sexual encounters associated with the trauma of abuse and feelings of shame, guilt, grief and loss. This association is thought to lead to sexual problems and to avoid sex, "said the professor, adding that this explanation" other factors, such as biological predisposition that may be more important to understand the phenomenon and to identify women at risk of experiencing dysphoria post-coital ".

In short, if after reaching the much-awaited orgasm, you feel happy and fulfilled, as it should, you know that now this state of mind is given a precise name, even if they are not the causes that determine it. Will be investigated in order to understand precisely what emotions affecting women who suffer from depression and post-sex as the reasons for the outbreak.
