Medical Why do we feel weak/energetic when homonal level is low/high?

Sperm have nothing to do with it. Could you explain how you think they do?

Our muscles feel weak and burn when they work too hard and have not enough oxygen.

We feel weak and tired overall when our brain tells us we feel that way, and this can be because of hormones, neurotransmitters, decreased oxygen in the brain, and maybe more things.

Sperm don't do a whole lot that I can see (they do have 1 important function, but I think that's it).

 

Hmmm, it's not so obvious to me why this would be so. My 30 seconds of research failed to answer this for me, and I don't really have much time for more at the moment.

 

30 seconds!? Wow. Slow down there buddy. You might get burns.

Don't have much time? Or can't concentrate?

OK. Enough with the easy low-brow stuff.



I too am not convinced that ejaculation wastes testosterone. In fact, it is plausible that, with regular use, it increases it.

 

Your whole body has undergone the equivalent of a seizure.

Either that or evolutionarily, we evolved to move slowly afterwards so that cavewmoen would stand a fighting chance of keeping us around.

 

:rofl: Haha, nicely done.

 

Again, your whole body has undergone the equivalent of a seizure.

 

Definitely opinion.

 

Here is an article that describes the physiological processes in orgasm and immediately following. It's not the best source of info, but I think it might put you on the right track.


paras 2 and 3 talk about the exertions involved.
para 4 talks about oxytocin.

 

I don't think that test come out the end with the little swimmies.

I know that test is needed though for the production and maintenance of the reproductive system in males, but I think the body will adjust it as needed to what it thinks is the right amount.

Right after sex I tend to be more energetic, but a little while later I get sleepy. I would tend to think that man, as a wild creature, would need a little get up and go after copulation with a female in the wild. So maybe the levels of test are boosted to accomplish this. Or it may more likely be adrenaline. When this wears off you get a little frazzled and burnt out.

This could be the rebound effect of the excess test converting to estrogen. Or just the adrenaline wearing off.

I can tell you though, from personal experience of my own, that increased levels of test in the body does not do as much for your energy levels as the general public thinks it does

Try wiki'ing some of the terms: oxytocin, ejaculation, orgasm.

The orgasm entry says this:

"After orgasm, humans often feel tired and a need to rest. This is attributed to the release of prolactin..."

And then the prolactin entry says:

"[An effect of prolactin] is to provide the body with sexual gratification after sexual acts. The hormone represses the effect of dopamine, which is responsible for sexual arousal, thus causing the sexual refractory period..."

 

Hi, Skhandelwal. Are your symptoms during at least 1 or 2 days after orgasm ? Maybe you can make a search on Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome to find more details.
