A member asked:

Why could sex make a man feel physically/mentally exhausted & depressed for 5-7 days after the act (orgasm/ejaculation)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't know: Probably a psychological thing or coincidence, unless you have a much more vigorous and long-acting sex act than i'm used to......
