A Message From the ISSM
Even though we haven't been able to get together in person during this pandemic, the ISSM strives to bring you virtual opportunities to learn from each other! Please see this video for an important message.
POIS Causes Flu-Like Symptoms After Orgasm
Symptoms of postorgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) can start within hours of orgasm and may last up to a week, researchers say.
Their recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study sought to characterize POIS, a condition that has not been widely studied.
Survey data from 302 men with POIS showed that difficulty concentrating, fatigue, and irritability were among the most common symptoms.
More details on the study, including the effects of POIS on quality of life and possible treatments, are can be found here.
