Sexual engagement usually leads to positive and satisfactory feelings under typical circumstances. However, studies conducted in recent years have revealed that some people experience feelings of depression, anxiety, agitation, or aggression following sexual activity or masturbation. This condition, known as postcoital dysphoria (PCD), is a rare psychiatric disorder that has been reported more in women than in men. We present a rare case of a 24-year-old male who suffers from PCD. This provides clinical insight for studies further attempting to investigate PCD among males.

Objective-The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of postcoital dysphoria in sexually active men from a metro city in north India. Materials And Methods-Asample of 200 sexually active men were recruited in the study by means of online survey. Detailed socio-demographic and Post sex experience scale (P-SES) was utilised. Result– Of 168 participants majority 152 (90.5%) belong to less than or equal to 35 years; 83.3% were married males, and 84.5% were Hindu and mean age of participants was 30.15±.3.83 years. Overall prevalence of PCD was 45.2% while it is signicantly more in unmarried (60.7%) than married (42.3%). PCD was more in young adults than middle aged men. Conclusion- Our study indicates that a good proportion of males experienced PCD. According to the good enough sex model, PCD which occurs intermittently may represent natural variation in the human experience of the resolution phase rather than a sexual dysfunction.
