Abstract
Objective-The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of postcoital dysphoria in sexually active men from a metro city in north India.
Materials And Methods-Asample of 200 sexually active men were recruited in the study by means of online survey. Detailed socio-demographic
and Post sex experience scale (P-SES) was utilised. Result– Of 168 participants majority 152 (90.5%) belong to less than or equal to 35 years;
83.3% were married males, and 84.5% were Hindu and mean age of participants was 30.15±.3.83 years. Overall prevalence of PCD was 45.2%
while it is signicantly more in unmarried (60.7%) than married (42.3%). PCD was more in young adults than middle aged men. Conclusion- Our
study indicates that a good proportion of males experienced PCD. According to the good enough sex model, PCD which occurs intermittently may
represent natural variation in the human experience of the resolution phase rather than a sexual dysfunction.
