Why do i feel sad after sex?
Feeling sad after sex is sometimes called post-coital dysphoria and is more common than people realize, affecting both men and women. It can arise from emotional vulnerability, unmet intimacy needs, disconnection from a partner, past trauma, or the physiological hormonal shift that follows orgasm. It is not a sign something is wrong with you. Lovon provides a non-judgmental space to talk about emotional experiences around intimacy without shame.
