It seems like my mood is connected to the frequency at which I ejaculate. I know ejaculation takes away lot of energy from a man. I'm 26 and single, and it I go two weeks or so without ejaculating I'm pretty upbeat and feel good about myself. But, if I ejaculate once or twice a day, everyday for a week or two I feel low on energy, irritable, and feel very depressed about myself and things in my life.
Anyone else dealt with something similar? Any ideas on how to respond to this? I'm very concerned about how frequent sexual activity causes me to feel depressed.

It depends. If I was with someone I'd feel like a lover. If I was alone ... I'd feel like a jack-off.

When I read your question I felt like I could help from my experiences but when I read the explanation I realized that we are opposites. If I go too long without having an orgasm I get real cranky and irritable. I can go for a while and not realize anything is different until one day I just blow up at something simple and then it hits me that I need a physical release. I dont think I agree with the above answer. It does not really matter if it is by myself or with someone - a release is still a release. I think that if I was you and it continued I would see a doctor because that can not be good. Sex is a good thing and should not get you down. Good luck!

I'll bet it's the other way around; I don't think ejaculation is making you depressed. I'll bet you're masturbating to relieve your depression, since orgasm is accompanied by a release of endorphins. When you feel upbeat, you don't feel the need to do that. The two coincide, but you've got the causal relationship reversed. Just a guess.

It sounds like some kind of psychological problem. Maybe you feel guilty or something......or it could be a body chemistry thing.
Are you talking about ejaculating with or without a partner? Are you masturbating too vigorously? Do you feel guilty about masturbation?
Have you ever studied tantric sex? That's where you come without ejaculating, and learn to prolong your orgasm.....check that out.

A good relationship , diet and exercise can change the way you look at the world. How many times doesn'tmatter so much as with whom, and are you healthy mentally and physically.

Depression seems to be caused by lack of blood flow and oxygen to the brain...

Sorry, but I'd feel the other way. No sex for two weeks and I'd be depressed as all hell...
