does ejaculation affect memory - #25051
I am really confused about something that’s been on my mind for a while. I’ve notice this pattern where after, you know, ejaculation, my memory feels kinda fuzzy, like I forget small things easily. It started a few weeks ago, when I was under a lot of stress from work, and I thought maybe it was just a phase. But now I'm wondering, does ejaculation affect memory, and is there any scientific backing to this? Last week, I had an important presentation and right after I had an intimate moment, I couldn’t remember some key points. It felt embarrassing, and I’m sure it wasn't just nerves. It’s like my brain just kinda took a mini-vacation after. I did some googling, and I found some posts saying yes, ejaculation can somehow mess with memory. Is there a connection? Or did I just imagine that my brain feels more foggy after? I don’t want to overthink this but now I’m almost scared to, you know, get intimate again before something important. How common is this? I feel like I might not be the only one, but I’d love some insight from all you docs out there. Does ejaculation affect memory, or could it be stress, lack of sleep, or something entirely different? Help!
