And no he does not masturbate to the image. I am pondering of either seeing a psych doc with him or his PCP. Apparently this has been going on for the past 2 years.

    Possibilities:

    • Troll post
    • Trauma response
    • Faking it
    • Strict religious or other upbringing that makes it feel evil/stressful
    • Severe POIS (post orgasmic illness syndrome, but can also occur when getting aroused)
    • POTS or similar cardiovascular health condition
    • Other psychological condition

    I take it he would like to watch porn but can’t? Then yes, that’s a problem and he should see his primary care doc first. It’s a quality of life issue.

    I’d be inclined to agree with what folks have said here. But the potential trauma and potential blood pressure issue.

    Only chiming in to say a friend of mine, who has a slew of other medical issues, has passed out from erections and sexual arousal. And once passed out from bottoming, so it’s not some wild strange theory. It does happen.

    There could be a blood pressure issue going on when he is aroused. He should see his PCP about it and go from there.

    Other responses so far are valid but as someone who has known people with this kinda reaction to sex stuff, they had cptsd from sexual assault as a child. It triggered them. Things from childhood can pop up later in life. Or maybe a recent experience could have.

    Or it could just be blood pressure. Idk. But wanted to give you my experience and knowledge.

      This was my immediate thought.

      *this is not a medical diagnosis and the person posting this recommends seeking the opinion of a medical professional.

      “Hey bro,let’s watch porn together. Nothing wrong with that, right. Wait, where are you going? There must be something medically wrong with him. I should ask Lemmy.”
