Hey Cartier85, welcome to Psych Central. First off, fatigue after orgasm (at least in men) is very common, for a variety of reasons. This article does a great job of explaining why. Why Do Guys Get Sleepy After Sex? | Live Science I myself experience this, and it's one of the reasons I've been trying to reduce how much I masturbate, and when. After a satisfying session, I far too easily could just spend the rest of the day laying around in bed doing not much of anything, which has had a negative impact on my life. As far as I'm aware, this doesn't have an official name, not as a disorder at least as it's quite common and normal. As for what I do afterwards... well, if I have my way, video games or youtube, even if it means I ignore tasks I SHOULD be doing instead. Which is why it was a problem for me.

I'm still sorting through my own thoughts and beliefs around masturbation, trying to inform them with science and what works for me, and so far here's what I've got figured: Masturbation is fine, even healthy, when done in moderation and with a mind toward your schedule. If you feel shame for doing it, maybe it's generated more by your actions afterwards? Or perhaps by what you watch during? Maybe the frequency?
