Feeling sad or ashamed after masturbating?

Is it normal for your mood to drop after you masturbate? I never hit an orgasm but I feel really good while I’m doing it and when I stop, I start to feel really down/ashamed. I’m also a virgin and nervous that it’ll be the same when I have sex (being down/ashamed right after). Does this happen to everyone or just me? Will it happen after sex?

  • You suffer from stupidity! Meaning that you were told that masturbating was bad. Masturbating for boys and girls is natural. It’s something we do to prevent ourselves from having sex when we don’t want to. I think that women and girls should masturbate. It helps them to know what feels good and helps them prepare for sex. If my daughter was masturbating I would buy her a dildo so that she didn’t get an infection from shoving a hairbrush handle into her pussy. Or a toothbrush, or a pen, or toilet brush handle. Those things are handled by others and may contain bacteria that can cause an infection. In addition they can have sharp edges that can lacerate the internal lining of her vagina. Buying her a dildo will ensure that it’s only used for one thing and is made for one thing. I’d rather her use a dildo then to go have sex with an uncaring boy who may have an std and/or get her pregnant.
    Religion often will tell us the things that feel the best are wrong. They make us feel bad for things that are natural human behaviors. So don’t feel shame in enjoying the sensations created by your body. If god didn’t want us playing with them then he wouldn’t have made it so accessible.
    by the way I suggest you have an orgasm. Find your clit and rub it while also fingering your pussy. You’ll be cumming in no time. PM me if you have any other questions. 😊

    • This came off as really condescending and I’m not really understanding why. I never said I thought masturbation was bad for me or wrong. I’m also not purposely not having an orgasm. It’s not as easy for every girl as it is for you. I was more concerned with whether or not the drop in emotions was normal.

    • Sorry if I came across as condescending. But the emotional state is not something that masturbation causes. Having an orgasm releases endorphins and dopamine that hake you feel good. But masturbating doesn’t cause emotional states except for frustration from not having an orgasm.

  • It's a totally normal thing to feel especially when female masturbation is such a taboo thing to talk about but at the same time it's probably because you haven't climaxed yet. When you put all that time and energy into it and you don't climax it can leave you feeling really down. But when you do eventually get there you don't feel as negative as you will be on a high.

    • Thank you! Reassuring answer. If you have any out of the box tips on getting there, I’d love to hear them lol

  • I've felt that way after one night stands not when I'm having sex with someone I'm in a relationship with, as for masturbation well some people feel that sometimes I feel ashamed of what I was thinking thsg got me off like a girl I beem talking to or something because it's not like she knows but still feel ashamed off it sometimes. Also depends on the poor that got me off to maybe that will ashame me as well. However I never cared that my family told me masturbation will send me to hell I know some people csn be ashamed of it for religious reasons as well

    • Good to know thank you... especially that you didn’t experience it in a relationship. I couldn’t do one night stands, and I’m hopeful that there’d be enough connection to make up for the emotion drop

    • Emotion drop?

  • We men refer to this as post nut clarity, maybe this is a similar sort of feeling.

    I would think that perhaps it is more just a come down from your orgasm. Your mind gets focused and stimulated during the act so once it is over you crash back down.

    I dont think it is anything to be ashamed of, maybe this is just an issue of withdrawal rather than shame about what you did.

    Does that make sense?

    • Yeah this makes a lot of sense. I didn’t know it was something guys had a name for haha... but a crash is definitely what I’d call it. I don’t feel ashamed of my urges or anything, I mean I’m a 23 year old virgin so I’m bound to want sex. I just hope the same doesn’t happen when I’m with someone... I wouldn’t want to come off as detached or cold after a big moment

  • maybe its cause you haven't reached orgasm, i know it sounds bogus but it might be why

  • That's indicative of suppressed sexuality, lack of self love or unhealthy shame.

    I think you should feel good about doing it.

  • Yeah well your life force or energy is drained and typically its when you become. ost negative and plus your body sort of senses you aren't with someone else and can inherently often feel tricked biologically which causes more negative effects. I thjnk physically masturbation can be good but neurologically could be more harmful. Always better with a partner who cares about your needs

  • All the god damn time, thats why i try to limit masturbating/stop it entirely

  • it's normal. Yes it can happen after sex

  • you have probably been taught not to do it, push through that and rnjoy

  • Yes it's very common after masturbating due to the feel good chemicals leaving your body and realizing your masturbated to some nasty shiz. It's less common after sex due to the bonding hormone oxtocin, if you do regret sex it will be the next day or a week later and you'll probably want to kill the guy or yourself

  • It happened to me at your age but I outgrew it
