How do you feel after masturbation?

I love to masturbate and have no feelings of guilt or shame about it.

However, one thing I notice is that as soon as I orgasm, it's like a switch being turned off. I cringe at the fantasy I was having the moment before and really feel a let down.

This contrasts with sex with a partner where I enjoy the feeling of the penis shrinking in the vagina and my partner's breasts pressing against me. The afterglow, as it were.

This "let down" feeling lasts only 5 or 10 minutes and then the sexual thoughts come back and I am ready to go again.

How do you feel after masturbation, males and females?

Whether having sex with someone or masturbating, I enjoy the "afterglow" feeling of floating! I try to make that feeling last as long as possible! Pure serenity!

Relaxed, relieved. Spiritual and at peace with myself.

Usually just hungry!

Usually tired in a good way and ready to do whatever I need to get done. Occasionally I feel emotionally dissatisfied even though I've been physically satisfied. That's when I realize its human touch I need more than sexual satisfaction.

This is an interesting post. I can relate to the OP in that often times I feel pretty quickly “turned off” from my kinks or what I was masturbating to when I orgasm. However, I’ve noticed this with sex too at times, so IDK. Depending on my mood, I may find myself within 10-20 minutes pretty ready to masturbate again though, same fantasies and kinks in mind.

All in all though, I do feel physically and mentally better after ejaculation 9/10 times. So I’d say it’s a net positive.

I also get that 'turned off' feeling pretty quickly after orgasm and the afterglow feeling begins to fad. I find, however, that when I'm ready to 'go' ahead, I tend to look for newer fantasies, rather than the ones I used to cum initially.

Strangely sore. The same with both sex and masturbation which I tend not to do alone but with my husband. I was thinking about how my husband can be using everything he can imagine on me prior to orgasm and it feels amazing like I was made to wrap around it but then I cum and I feel super relaxed but often also, over sensitised and kind of sore but in a good way.

I love to masturbate. At least twice a day. I am tired when I finish because I am multi-orgasmic. One orgasm isn't enough for me. I masturbate even when I have a partner.

Relaxed mostly. Sometimes multiple times a day but usually at least once a day.

Relaxed. Afterglow.

Most times I feel tired in a good way, other times I feel I need to cum more than once. On those occasions I have had time and space to carry on for a round 2 or even 3, I feel energised afterwards and can tackle the world.

I’m jealous. Round two is usually the next day at the earliest nowadays!

I enjoy it and feel relieved after it puts a smile on my face and can't wait to do it again

I massage my hard on at least once a day. When I do that, I'm in a chair, butt plug or other long toy up my butt. I look at videos on XVideos of girls getting it up the butt one way or the other. When I cum, I can feel my butt clamp down on the toy as I squirt into TP. I feel very relaxed and satisfied. If I had a girl in front of me talking dirty how she wants me deep in her butt, I think I could get hard again and side in for another cum.

Relaxed and floaty, it’s a great feeling sometimes when it leaves I want it to come back so the cycle continues

Just great in old day when ejac but now after radiation for p cancer only get anal O but better than nothing

I lose all interest in sex. I'm very relaxed, but my glans is extremely painful to touch for about an hr. It takes me about a day to recover now.

When I was younger, I I could get hard & ejaculate 8-9 times in a row. Don't remember my penis hurting afterwards, but my testicles would hang very low and ache terribly for several hours requiring the use of a very tight fitting jockstrap.

The next day, I could do it again. Of course each ejaculation was less with the last drop being a clear liquid or just dry.

Almost relaxed and also satisfied !!

Depends.

If I'm lying on the bed after a full-on medfet fantasy session complete with toys and such, it's an odd combination of euphoria and exhaustion. Lasts a minute or two and I can typically induce an "aftershock" or two by rubbing the tip of my penis.

If I'm just masturbating in the shower, it's a pretty quick let-down. And I get that feeling of guilt/disinterest that others have mentioned.

Sex? It's been so long I literally can't remember.....

The times I've needed to masturbate it knocks the horny edge off or down. I get the good flush of satisfaction hormones flooding my body and brain. I feel calm, relaxed, and satisfied.

@ginnie oh you are so right. My feelings exactly! I feel relaxed, relieved, comforted and thinking of the next wonderful time. Would love to have a partner watch and to watch my partner enjoying the same. Doing it together. The afterglow is beautiful and looking for the next time.

The feelings depend on how the ending is. If I masturbate to orgasm, then sadness is the resulting feeling. Not from any kind of shame or such, but from not longer being high or rushed on sexual awareness. The sexual awareness and urgency and rush is all gone, and sadly for quite some time with me. And that results in sadness and feeling disappointed. What was all the fuss about?

But if I masturbate and stop prior to orgasm, then the heightened sense of sexual energy remains present, I don't have to wait for a long sexual recharge period and I can go back to my sexual imaginations directly afterwards should I wish. If I were to speak in esoteric sexual terms, without orgasm there is no loss of sexual energy and I retain a sexual vitality that is far more pleasing than those brief 10-15 seconds of orgasm.

Not to exaggerate, but in culinary terms, it is like stuffing the most expensive steak down your throat in a few fast bites, rather than savoring the flavors over a leisurely meal.
