Woman gets depressed after sex

October 01, 2019

"Me nuh know wah fi do no more. Sex just nah do nothing fi me. Me nah get no pleasure and me nah feel nothing," a desperate Ethel told THE STAR.

She said that she first noticed the strange reaction in 2011, the first year of her four-year marriage.

"Every time me have sex and done, me just feel a sadness come over me. Me try fi spice up me bedroom and me try everything. Me shame me self and go buy vibrator, me try oral sex and me talk to younger men, you name it. Me still feel like me wah ball when me done," she said.

She got divorced in 2015, which she blamed on 'post sex sadness'.

"After four years, I had to just leave. It neva did a work fi me and me did think a him nah do something right. Now me a realise seh a me a di problem," she said. "Me talk to him still. Yea man, we still talk and me still love him same way. Real man dat, cause now when me tell him certain things, him nah cuss me out. Nuff man cuss me out fi less. If me can get over this, me woulda take him back if him still want me."

Ethel thinks she suffers from an underlying depression.

Get some therapy

"Boy, me feel depressed. A mus depression. Right now, my older sister suggest that I get some therapy because this really a affect me and it a affect me family too. I think this depression after the sex a cause me fi can't have children. I get check up many times and doctor seh I'm fine. Still, I can't get pregnant. Most times when I'm around my sister and her kids, I get frustrated. Me no hate dem, enuh, mi jus caa wait fi get my own," she said.

She recalled that she started having sex in high school at about age 15.

"Me did have me likkle boyfriend weh me used to hide and go round a him yard, but me neva feel no way. Me did young dem time deh so everything did nice. Inna high school, me nah have sex fi pleasure ... me not even know wah name pleasure back then. Dem time deh me a sex because me have me boyfriend. Me nuh know if it did nice. Di fact seh me a hide from me mada and go meet me boyfriend alone did nice me," she said laughing.

Ethel says she is thinking about joining a church at this point, but she's a bit hesitant.

"Yuh think a likkle night me ball inna my room? Me bawl, me bawl, me ask God a wah do me. Me mada seh me fi give me life to God. To be honest, most a me male friends tell me dat, but me nuh wah go inna church and haffi come back out and a dat a go happen if me nuh sort out me self first," she said.
