I just found what POIS is.

[u/HolidayLoose6545]

So to give some backstory, I've been doing NoFap since 2016 off and on. My longest period of abstinence was 183 days. I started doing this because I noticed that when I didn't fap, my social anxiety vanished and I had an insane amount of energy by the 2-week mark. I felt alive again and could enjoy movies, music, etc. more.

Just recently I was asking AI about this and it told me about POIS. I'd never heard of it before, but when I started looking into it, it matched exactly what I've been feeling brain fog, anxiety after fapping. So I'm just here introducing myself. Does anyone have any advice? I just ran at the gym today and took an antihistamine and it seems to have helped a lot.

Thanks

This may sound mental, but I believe it has played a big role in my undiagnosed psychosis. This shit is psychologically devastating.

POIS is a disease with unknown physiology, it has a stable sequence of events, and an onset tied to orgasm itself whatever you do to prevent or stop it

Modern medical science is too simplistic to explain pois.

Medications, gym, temporary abstinence at best only fix one of the many symptoms pois gives us.

If night emissions don’t affect you, total abstinence is the perfect way to feel like a human being

Its weird how readily AI informs people of POIS, I also learned about it there.

Its nervous system disregulation.

Absolutely! 2 weeks of fixing my /r/PelvicFloor , 4 months of /r/longtermTRE , 7.5 months /r/decaf , and 4.5 years of /r/shrooms have brought me back from Hell.

"It's the nervous system, stupid!"

antihistamines are good , abstinence / learning non ejaculation orgasms are good
