Meeting Michael: My Personal Experience with Postcoital Dysphoria | 02

The philosopher Baruch Spinoza, in his Tractatus de Intellectus Emendatione, wrote: "For as far as sensual pleasure is concerned, the mind is so caught up in it, as if at peace in a [true] good, that it is quite prevented from thinking of anything else. But after the enjoyment of sensual pleasure is passed, the greatest sadness follows. If this does not completely engross, still it thoroughly confuses and dulls the mind." Arthur Schopenhauer, writing later on the phenomenon, observed that "directly after copulation the devil's laughter is heard." In this episode, Michael aims to further explore aspects of his sexual life, documenting areas that can become obstacles. Here, he shares his experiences living with Postcoital Dysphoria (PCD). While he has previously discussed this topic in earlier seasons (S1E5 Extras), he goes into more detail here.


Study:

One study (1) reported that among a sample of 1208 male participants, 40% of them had experienced PCT at least once in their lifetime and 20% reported experiencing PCT in the four weeks preceding the study. This study also reports that 3–4% of the sample experienced PCT symptoms on a regular basis. (1) Maczkowiack, Joel; Schweitzer, Robert D. (July 2018). "Postcoital Dysphoria: Prevalence and Correlates among Males" (PDF). Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy. 45 (2): 128–140. doi:10.1080/0092623X.2018.1488326. PMID 30040588. S2CID 51717755.

Reports are much higher for females.

Why Do We Submit? | S02E05

This podcast is only suitable for adults. Please rate our podcast! It really helps. Join us this week as we delve into why it is that we submit. Society increasingly lacks explicit rituals that mark transitions from childhood to adulthood. Women have painful initiations into womanhood such as menstruation and childbirth. Men have their voice break and learn to shave. How does this relate back to submission? Michael goes quite bold and suggests that submission is an attempt to reclaiman the move from boyhood to manhood psychology...

We Need To Talk About Religion | S02E03

This podcast is only suitable for adults. Please rate our podcast! It really helps. In this episode, Michael argues that a deep player within our BDSM comes from a biological religious instinct. Using studies from Nicholas Wade, Michael and Indy mirror sessions they have had to religious behaviour that we would have normally done in previous generations and in ancient times. Does this lack of religious space in today's society mean we are searching for it in other ways like BDSM?  Contact us via email: bdsmreimagined@gmail.com Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): License code: GNHL82KTDKW6KBTH License code: UZ3QGMJGYWGTEZYZ
