Possible cause of Post-coital dysphoria (PCD) the prehistory and history of marriage, intimacy, & romantic relationships

The great majority of religions if not all, have rigorous concepts about intimacy, romantic relationships, and marriage, with intense motivation to dictate that the only proper way of intimacy should take place under a formal commitment known as marriage.

Despite of the consistent recommendations and standards from religions about sexuality they rarely provide scientific fundamentals to sustain their doctrines about their moral code.
Let’s analyze some facts that can explain from a scientific standpoint, using references of research made and the study of the history of human biology as foundations to recommend a healthier lifestyle in regard to romantic interactions.
Today, science has identified Post-coital Dysphoria (PCD) to explain times of depression after intimacy; according to the healthline.com lapses of depression and anxiety are common after intercourse but mentions that its cause it’s unknown (Simone, 1)
This concept seems to corroborate the statistics showing the female population with higher levels of depression and unhappiness in comparison to males, after the start of their adolescence, associating depression with sexual activity, dating, and romantic relationships which generally occurs after adolescence (McGinness, 2)
Yes, there’s strong evidence that dating, intimacy, and romantic interactions cause high depression, anxiety, and mental health issues in women. Now, let’s see from the history of human evolution and biology what could be the cause of such a serious problem worldwide that associates sexual activity with depression, and what is diagnosed as Post-Coital Dysphoria (PCD) or postcoital tristesse.
Ancestors of humans were animals that did not show the remarkable difference between the genders that we see today; for them, the pairing was similar to modern primates, wolves, and dolphins, in which females could defend themselves, but at some point in humans evolution, differences between gender started to appear in proportion to the increase of brain size, archeologists estimate that brain size in our ancestors dramatically increased, being quadrupled in less than 4 million years according to the Frontier article revised by the Drexel University (Drexel, 5). For many, such brain size increase it’s an unnatural change or mutation that defies natural evolution.
 There’s archeological evidence that early humans and ancestors used brutal strengths to force females to pair in coital, making the procreation of human beings and hence our survival a product of the constant and consistent practice of series of rapes, generation after generation for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years of evolution. Making the sex practice as a couple an abusive, violent, terrifying and traumatic practice.

Such long-term behavioral cycle might develop a program in our DNA that associates intimacy with trauma which might explain the Post-coital Dysphoria.
There’s a hypothesis that this issue started to get attention by the very start of the first kinds of human civilizations, in which females were protected from sexual assaults in a way in which intimacy was only allowed under supervision or in the presence of the group, such as orgies and sex parties honoring the natural practice of coital in group and allowing pairing as a couple strictly under a formal commitment know today as marriage.
However, the lack of understanding of the purpose of marriage has distorted the actual value of such commitment, making it a religious artifact of manipulation and control in the last few thousands of years; in fact, according to the CNSR, France (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, 6) the brain size of humans has started to decrease since the last 3 thousand years attributed to the cultural delegation of intellectual autonomy to higher authorities such as religions in regards to decision making about personal life and family.


The bottom line, sexual Celibacy should be the best option, but if you really want to experience intimacy and romance, intimacy should only be practiced in a supervised group, or within the arrangement for mature partners within a lifetime commitment such as marriage (Getts, 8) (Patreon, 9)

Safety always comes first, below is a list of reasons to say that sex in a group is safer:
1) Supervision, any kind of aggressiveness can be addressed quickly.
2) STD prevention, in orgies preservatives are commonly available to ensure protection.
3) Reduced the probability of Post-coital Dysphoria, restimulation of traumatic DNA programs can be avoided since not only two persons are involved as an aggressor-victim relationship.
4) Emotionally convenient, preventing attachment and emotional association to intimacy with one specific person, mitigating the development of false expectations and potential toxicity in the romantic relationship.
