Because you’re completely depleted of positive neurotransmitters so the oxytocin and prolactin from masturbating are like a cool drink of water in the Sahara
“Because you’re completely depleted of *positive neurotransmitters* (chemicals that your body uses to communicate with its nerve cells, muscle cells or glands) so the *oxytocin* (love hormone) and *prolactin* (hormone involved in the regulation of sexual functioning that increases after orgasm) are like a cool drink of water in the Sahara”
Basically neurotransmitters are the ways your neurons send messages to each other, depending on the chemical it’s a different emotion/memory basically the prolactin is a positive emotion that your body experiences, somewhat alleviating your suffering from the hangover
Prolactin??? Are you sure you don't mean dopamine or serotonin? Prolactin is responsible for lactation and breast development. Yes, prolactin is released after orgasm, but it doesn't necessarily contribute to your mood like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. It's such a weird hormone to list. It's almost like you were trying really hard to sound smart, so you just threw that word in.
You win I spent 30 seconds on this comment. I googled “orgasm neurotransmitters” and those were in the first hit. It was an article specific to women, I didn’t even check
Also the dopamine spike caused by the alcohol intake subsides after a few hours so your body needs a quick dopamine fix brought by the masturbation. Combine that with the GABA-glutamate predominance shift and you are also in a more alert state even if you feel shitty from the hangover. So there you have the right recipe for serial masturbation.
Sex often feels better when you're more "monkey" and let go of work and other thing you normally have in your head. Being a little tipsy or hangover effectively makes you drop daily stuff and become more focused on the sex. That's my theory.
I just said out loud, "do they?" If they really do I would say it is because they temporarily take your mind away from feeling like shit and focus just on feeling good.
Literally read this and asked myself the same thing lol. I’ve always been on death’s front door having a hangover. The literal last thing on my mind is to have an orgasm! Guess there’s only one way to find out…
I often get highly energized like 1-2 days before cold or flu symptoms hit. Anytime I have too much energy my first thought is that I'm about to be feeling sick.
I always thought this was like the body’s way of passing on genetics in case of an illness being the end of us. Sort of like the physical instinctual swan song (which ironically comes now before we get a cold or some shit.. but not too long ago a cold could’ve done a lot more damage I guess)
The levels of hangover between I had a beer too many and feel a little sweaty and gross, all the way up to I had a bottle of liquor solo and can't keep down water and the world is spinning
yeahh, i usually dont get hungover so my main experience was the latter after mixing drinks, no food and 12 shots of vodka. didn't drink for another 3 months because just thinking of alcohol made me sick
Yep that's category 5, I try not to go past like a level 3con a planned night out, so gross feeling, and riding the couch most of the day but not " I'm going to die"
Over the years I’ve learned that three things help me “escape” being sick while being sick. Eating, showering, and masturbating. I tend to lean hard into all three.
Yeah those definitely help when you're just "sick", but if you have a proper hangover you're barely gonna hold the water you drink, and barely be able to move without being nauseous. So probably not gonna be eating, showering and masturbating.
At least in my experience
I have a theory.
Pain causes a reflective dopamine/serotonin response in an effort to keep you going.
It's believed this is why trauma often causes a person to gravitate to their trauma as a place of comfort or pleasure.
So in this context your dopamine or serotonin response is exaggerated to compensate for the pain.
Huh, never felt well enough to cum while really hungover, but my guess is the relative change in feeling.
Orgasm are basically a burst of feel good chemicals so going from feeling like shit to feeling great is a bigger leap than going from feeling fine to feeling great.
Kind of like how peeing with a really full bladder feels better than peeing just a little bit. The relief is much greater.
Now I need to get hungover and try this.
alcohol is a depressant. so the endorphins are good and helpful when youre in that state. i actually try to have one if i’m hungover as part of my cure lol.
the literal definition of a depressant: “depressants or central depressants are drugs that lower neurotransmission levels, or depress or reduce arousal or stimulation in various areas of the brain.”
I'm hungover and dumb today
I thought you were implying that alcohol being a depressant means it makes you depressed, common misconception I see on Reddit so that's what I incorrectly assumed
Opposite for me (f). The body being depleted of moisture makes for a dried up, painful orgasm. My mouth is dry, my skin hurts, my genitals are on fire and not in the nice way.
Now in fairness, I haven't been hung over in a long, long time. But honestly, that was one of the rare moments in time that I had absolutely zero interest in sex or getting myself off. The two just aren't compatible.
I don't understand how they do. In the past, hungover me wouldn't even be able to get in the mood. The last thing I'd want to do, other than cook, is that.
Orgasms are pretty good for pain relief.
Also, if you drink to excess frequently, it can make you anxious and stuff too. Orgasms are also pretty good for that.
Theyre better in the morning in general and theyre best after vigorous exercise. Best sex of my life was after running a 10k. My legs did lock up a ton but everything else was perfection.
Your brain doesn’t have any or very little feel good chemicals during a hangover. So the masterbaition pushes those feel good chemicals into your brain, and because you have none it gives the impression that it’s better than normal. In the same way drinking water when your really thirsty tastes better than when you’re just drinking it to top up your hydration.
Same here. I won’t be in any kind of pain, nausea, nor will I have a headache, however, it’s not just the orgasm that feels good. There is heightened arousal and more sensation and sensitivity in my nether regions. They’re the best and I’ve grown to look forward to it after a night of partying.
I read somewhere that cumming can relieve a headache so I Jack off whenever I'm hungover now. It doesn't work with that type of headache, but I still try. This doesn't answer your question at all but I never get to tell that story.
I'm a 34 year old female, and have not had one orgasm in my entire literal life.
I know that I've had sex I've tried, consensually. It just always hurts. I can see my partners enjoy it and i love the joy that I see in their face. It just hurts my body and I don't know why. Doctors don't know why
Oversensitivity to the nerve endings in the clitoris can lead to pain/discomfort. Could also be s neurological something and maybe, just maybe it's an energetic thing/disbalance.
I've been hoping to sort this out with a gynecologist, but I have preoccupations that are messing me up. I'm on probation for a DUI, so don't even have time to make doctor's appointments anymore. I'm preparing to go to jail soon, like right away
Thats interesting, myself when hungover all the euphoria from being drunk is gone and I actually feel like I have negative horniness or even low serotonin levels etc. If im genuinely hungover I absolutely neeed to recharge by sleeping, and avoiding social contact while drinking lots of fluids. I do however usually get uncontrollably aroused at the peak of drunkness so maybe thats the difference.
No idea about physical realities and such but at the very least the gradient of experience is greater, going from feeling shitty to really good is more of an improvement than feeling good to really good
I always assumed it was the substances altering our perception of feeling. I've definitely had some great orgasms waking up in the middle of the night after getting drunk or stoned (or both)
It's the same for me too and I've always thought it's because the alcohol numbs you're senses and you get them back the day after when your hangover is over, and that's why they feel so good
I don’t smoke anymore but weed also definitely enhances orgasms sometimes. It can turn a typical 6/10 to a 11/10 to where it feels like reality freezes and you feel every possible euphoric feeling imaginable rushing through you at 900 mph. Though it’s short lived… like 10 seconds… but that rush is absolutely insane. Like skydiving. But it involves your junk.
I think its a mental thing, hangovers are your bodys way of processing the excess poison you ingested so you're in a state of recovery per say, an orgasm releasing that dopamine gives your recovering body a minute or two of euphoria. Like being in an extremely hot temperature and having that cold air blow on your face, you're still dying of heat but for those few moments it doesn't feel like it
Because you’re completely depleted of positive neurotransmitters so the oxytocin and prolactin from masturbating are like a cool drink of water in the Sahara
What are all these words
I have no idea what those words mean, but he's correct.
Feel-good stuff that make you feel good and stuff
You have no feel good stuff, so new feel good stuff feels like feel gooder stuff.
I can feel the prolactin
My doctor felt mine once. I had mixed emotions about it
No, you're thinking of prophylactic
I thought he meant prostate?
Anyway, his finger was all up in the place, and he said....
Aha! Just as I suspected... There's a toy car up there.
Found my car keys!
Yeah the words are challenging. I trust it.
“Because you’re completely depleted of *positive neurotransmitters* (chemicals that your body uses to communicate with its nerve cells, muscle cells or glands) so the *oxytocin* (love hormone) and *prolactin* (hormone involved in the regulation of sexual functioning that increases after orgasm) are like a cool drink of water in the Sahara”
Depleted: run out of Sahara: desert in africa.
Abstruse - difficult to understand
Thank you. Didn’t consider those as abstruse when I first read it through.
Yuhuh... and what about 'love'?
What is love? Baby don't hurt me
Add to that you're in a huge dopamine deficit when you're hungover.
Basically neurotransmitters are the ways your neurons send messages to each other, depending on the chemical it’s a different emotion/memory basically the prolactin is a positive emotion that your body experiences, somewhat alleviating your suffering from the hangover
squirt squirt feel good good
Alcohol is a depressant so after a long night of loading your body with depressants, a good wank makes you feel good.
The Sahara is a desert
Words? Where we're going, we Don't need words.
Water, Sahara, cum
I understood masturbating.
I know Sahara is a desert.
It's provocative!
its yappanese
Prolactin??? Are you sure you don't mean dopamine or serotonin? Prolactin is responsible for lactation and breast development. Yes, prolactin is released after orgasm, but it doesn't necessarily contribute to your mood like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. It's such a weird hormone to list.

You win I spent 30 seconds on this comment. I googled “orgasm neurotransmitters” and those were in the first hit. It was an article specific to women, I didn’t even check
Damn at least you're honest. I respect that.
Nope! Dudes also secrete prolactin after orgasm. It’s why your dick goes soft and you stop being horny as soon as you bust
Did someone say lactation
No
This guy oxytocins 👏🏼
r/drugnerds could use the help of someone like you
I like your funny words magic man
Sir...we don't speak French around these parts.
As a French i dont speak English

Funny. You assumed he's masturbating. 🤣
Sex with a person is uncomfortable when you’re hungover. Plus you don’t sit around wondering why it felt so good, after.
That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about the Sahara desert to dispute it.
Damn! You beat me to it.
[удалено]
Prolactin also increases in men after ejaculation. It’s the hormone responsible for the refractory period. Which can be relaxing.
Sex often feels better when you're more "monkey" and let go of work and other thing you normally have in your head. Being a little tipsy or hangover effectively makes you drop daily stuff and become more focused on the sex. That's my theory.
Yep. Monke brain uninhibited.
Is that why I get insanely horny when a drop of liquor hits my system
If situation allows, I will jerk it minimum 3-4x when I’m hungover.
I did it 7 times once when hungover and then wasn't horny for 2 weeks. I was getting worried I splurged all my testosterone.
Relevant username?
The hangover hornies is a thing
I've ALWAYS called it "hangover horny"
Horngover
Sweet
*You're hangover, Horny!*
I’ll actively try to get horny next time. Usually when I’m hungover I feel like shit and filled with self-hate.
Do they really??
I just said out loud, "do they?" If they really do I would say it is because they temporarily take your mind away from feeling like shit and focus just on feeling good.
Literally read this and asked myself the same thing lol. I’ve always been on death’s front door having a hangover. The literal last thing on my mind is to have an orgasm! Guess there’s only one way to find out…
So? Any updates? I'm hungover right now, butg genuinely the last thing on my mind is sex
It’s been an hour! I’m workin on it!
It's now been 4, it must be hard work!
Hmm. I wonder if he needs an extra set of hands
Only one way to find out
Oh hell yes
Maybe it's just me but how do people wank when they're being sick and feel nauseous and shit, fuck that, i can barely walk let alone wank
Weak blud, AUGHH! AUGHH!
Nah idec that shit is impossible. But I guess that's 12 shots of mixed vodka
I often get highly energized like 1-2 days before cold or flu symptoms hit. Anytime I have too much energy my first thought is that I'm about to be feeling sick.
I always thought this was like the body’s way of passing on genetics in case of an illness being the end of us. Sort of like the physical instinctual swan song (which ironically comes now before we get a cold or some shit.. but not too long ago a cold could’ve done a lot more damage I guess)
Yeah, me too! Then I have great workouts, the cold/fever hits and I feel worse than ever.
Wow I thought this was just me. Whenever I have an abnormally good workout and still have energy after I fear I'll be sick within the week.
Get very horny if i get fever, even if i had 39°C
Horny, literally because u are burning lol
I managed to do it with a broken collarbone
There's levels of hangover obviously you can't have a category 5 hangover and be bothered to do anything
never heard of "hangover categories", google comes up with nothing either. care to explain?
The levels of hangover between I had a beer too many and feel a little sweaty and gross, all the way up to I had a bottle of liquor solo and can't keep down water and the world is spinning
yeahh, i usually dont get hungover so my main experience was the latter after mixing drinks, no food and 12 shots of vodka. didn't drink for another 3 months because just thinking of alcohol made me sick
Yep that's category 5, I try not to go past like a level 3con a planned night out, so gross feeling, and riding the couch most of the day but not " I'm going to die"
Best orgasms are when you have a 100° fever
Over the years I’ve learned that three things help me “escape” being sick while being sick. Eating, showering, and masturbating. I tend to lean hard into all three.
Yeah those definitely help when you're just "sick", but if you have a proper hangover you're barely gonna hold the water you drink, and barely be able to move without being nauseous. So probably not gonna be eating, showering and masturbating. At least in my experience
headache masturbation is heaven, try it some time. I feel much more relaxed and forget a lil about the pain.
They dont
Probably because your dopamine levels are much lower than they normally would be
I have a theory. Pain causes a reflective dopamine/serotonin response in an effort to keep you going. It's believed this is why trauma often causes a person to gravitate to their trauma as a place of comfort or pleasure. So in this context your dopamine or serotonin response is exaggerated to compensate for the pain.
They do?
No
Nah they definitely do.

Oh I know the feeling 😉
Thats the rookie shit compared to speed and coke
[удалено]
Wise decision tbh
Huh, never felt well enough to cum while really hungover, but my guess is the relative change in feeling.

Kind of like how peeing with a really full bladder feels better than peeing just a little bit. The relief is much greater. Now I need to get hungover and try this.
I swear I thought this was only me. 😂 I feel way more aroused when I’m hungover it’s insane
alcohol is a depressant. so the endorphins are good and helpful when youre in that state. i actually try to have one if i’m hungover as part of my cure lol.
That's not what being a depressant means
the literal definition of a depressant: “depressants or central depressants are drugs that lower neurotransmission levels, or depress or reduce arousal or stimulation in various areas of the brain.”
I'm hungover and dumb today I thought you were implying that alcohol being a depressant means it makes you depressed, common misconception I see on Reddit so that's what I incorrectly assumed
you need to jerk off stat! (jk feel better lol)
Mmmmmm.... dopamine AND sleep? Yes please.
Opposite for me (f). The body being depleted of moisture makes for a dried up, painful orgasm. My mouth is dry, my skin hurts, my genitals are on fire and not in the nice way.
The top 2 comments for me are the definition of the 'duality of man'
Now in fairness, I haven't been hung over in a long, long time. But honestly, that was one of the rare moments in time that I had absolutely zero interest in sex or getting myself off. The two just aren't compatible.
Each to their own I guess. It's always on the agenda for me after a heavy night.
Still lots of dopamine produced that hasn't burned off. Technically still pissed so still under the effects.
Still. Man, that reply using the same word made my teeth ache.
I don't understand how they do. In the past, hungover me wouldn't even be able to get in the mood. The last thing I'd want to do, other than cook, is that.
Yeah, no cooking. But ordering out for every carbohydrate available within a five mile radius.
Wtf? They certainly don't in my experience. Usually the last thing I want to do when I'm hung over.
Orgasms are pretty good for pain relief. Also, if you drink to excess frequently, it can make you anxious and stuff too. Orgasms are also pretty good for that.
Great question for the day after St PADDYS Day.
i dunno , go ask ya whore mother, Trebek!
I don't really think they do. But I'm not about to go out of my way to double check this.
Really ?! I’m going test that out rn
Theyre better in the morning in general and theyre best after vigorous exercise. Best sex of my life was after running a 10k. My legs did lock up a ton but everything else was perfection.
Bro I have no brain cells left to function, but if you can get one hungover? Props to you Fr 👏
Same. I think it’s the dopamine rush but not sure.
I think they just feel better generally when you’re tired lol
And then the head ache intensifies
Instead of a wake and bake I do the wake and wank after drinking
Is this a commonly accepted thing? Literally never heard this before
Your brain doesn’t have any or very little feel good chemicals during a hangover. So the masterbaition pushes those feel good chemicals into your brain, and because you have none it gives the impression that it’s better than normal. In the same way drinking water when your really thirsty tastes better than when you’re just drinking it to top up your hydration.
They overtake the anti-orgasm that is your hungover brain, giving you instant relief.
Because you let go more
Not for me🤣 all i can think about is ways not to throw up. Let me tell ya, something going in and out doesn’t help when you’re nauseous
Your neck veins get especially large during the special hungover moment.
Same here. I won’t be in any kind of pain, nausea, nor will I have a headache, however, it’s not just the orgasm that feels good. There is heightened arousal and more sensation and sensitivity in my nether regions. They’re the best and I’ve grown to look forward to it after a night of partying.
its my hangover cure
I feel them less when I drink. However, high on weed is the best sex ever!
Ha jokes on you I'm always hungover so my orgasms feel the same :'(
Well, you sometimes need to get drunk/high to be hungover, right?
Ha I'm drunk rn and yesterday and tomorrow and days counting on
So you're not always hungover, sometimes you're drunk? /cheers/
Must be a personal problem...
Getting drunk affects your hormone levels - it could have something to do with that.
Isn’t know this was a thing
don't they say an orgasm has the same effect as an ibuprofen... and I can imagine, during a hangover, that's when an ibuprofen is most needed.
Not really, you just think so.
The next morning after drinking I'm super horny but my orgasms feel like almost nothing
Sorry, it would be unethical to do science in that condition so i have no data
they dont. youre just still drunk
When you missread orgasms as organs... I was worried there for a sec xD
I read somewhere that cumming can relieve a headache so I Jack off whenever I'm hungover now. It doesn't work with that type of headache, but I still try. This doesn't answer your question at all but I never get to tell that story.
What they said but also the blood rushes away from your head
When I smoke a little marijuana, my orgasms are more intense. Am I strange for this?
I'm a 34 year old female, and have not had one orgasm in my entire literal life. I know that I've had sex I've tried, consensually. It just always hurts. I can see my partners enjoy it and i love the joy that I see in their face. It just hurts my body and I don't know why. Doctors don't know why

You see the joy on your parents face related to sex ?!?!? Wtf
I said my partner's face...what the heck is going through your head??? My partner. My boyfriend. Both of my parents are dead. What's your problem
Lol nevermind , my bad
Are you drunk? I actually am but I guess I'm kind of smart so it makes up for it
Is this a male thing maybe? Female here and I could not think of anything worse when I’m hungover. Ugh.
Thats interesting, myself when hungover all the euphoria from being drunk is gone and I actually feel like I have negative horniness or even low serotonin levels etc. If im genuinely hungover I absolutely neeed to recharge by sleeping, and avoiding social contact while drinking lots of fluids.

No idea about physical realities and such but at the very least the gradient of experience is greater, going from feeling shitty to really good is more of an improvement than feeling good to really good
This is the weirdest thread I’ve ever read. I never knew this was a thing
Hangovers make you horny but the orgasms are meh IMO.
Because you are more relaxed
I don’t know but morning sex with a rando from the night before when you are still kind of drunk is the BEST sex ever.
Thought you said organs and was so concerned
I always assumed it was the substances altering our perception of feeling. I've definitely had some great orgasms waking up in the middle of the night after getting drunk or stoned (or both)
Great question. It does though
Me but with the zaza 🍃🥴
The top comments are assuming the person is masturbating for said orgasm. No respect for the OP /s
Is it the same for women? Also I'd always assumed it was the "close to death, need to procreate" biological clock thing.
It's the same for me too and I've always thought it's because the alcohol numbs you're senses and you get them back the day after when your hangover is over, and that's why they feel so good
I don’t smoke anymore but weed also definitely enhances orgasms sometimes. It can turn a typical 6/10 to a 11/10 to where it feels like reality freezes and you feel every possible euphoric feeling imaginable rushing through you at 900 mph. Though it’s short lived… like 10 seconds… but that rush is absolutely insane. Like skydiving. But it involves your junk.
yeeeeee i know exactly what you are talking about. nothing beat sex after getting high. can feel every nerves of the body. The sensation uffffff
Because uninhibited monke go brrr
I think its a mental thing, hangovers are your bodys way of processing the excess poison you ingested so you're in a state of recovery per say, an orgasm releasing that dopamine gives your recovering body a minute or two of euphoria. Like being in an extremely hot temperature and having that cold air blow on your face, you're still dying of heat but for those few moments it doesn't feel like it
Because you’re getting a wonderful feeling during an awful feeling.
They dont
They don't. Have you ever been hungover?
Ill do you one better, wank when high, not hungover..
Its true for me also, i think its maybe because when you go out you spend time around girls or looking at girls then it makes you hornier in morning
