“Post coitum, sad animal”, the Latins had already noticed that after love, the animal is sad. What a paradox! The orgasm that would lead to melancholy? However, statistical studies confirm this: 6% of men and 13% of women often or sometimes feel depressed after sex (Alfred Spira survey). And nearly 30% of people say they are relaxed but not happy after sex. “This sadness may reflect the state of apathy which follows coitus after the sudden release of sexual tension following orgasm,” says psychiatrist and sexologist Philippe Brenot in his book “Sex and Love”. It is also the translation of the indifference which seems to inhabit post coitum lovers and which is due to the secretion of endorphins responsible for the sensations of pleasure ”.

The liquid has been analyzed, it does not contain not the same components as urine. Some researchers implicate the para-urethral glands, the female equivalent of the male prostate. Subjected to intense pleasure, women then emit a liquid close to seminal fluid. This biological peculiarity is sometimes wrong lived. “We should not, believes Dr Sylvain Mimoun. These women are all that there is more normal in their singularity, and men can be particularly excited by this generous flow, as if it were the proof. “Physical” and very material of the pleasure felt. “In any case, there is no treatment to date. According to recent studies, 6 to 36% of women are concerned. Some will not experience this emission of fluid that once in their life, others with every orgasm, whether achieved with a partner or during masturbation.
