Talk:Post-coital tristesse

message: Is this related to the tendency to wanna sleep right after sex? --TiagoTiago (talk) 22:14, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  No. This is not a feeling of being tired, it is a feeling of depression, sadness, or melancholy immediately after ejaculation. It's not for any emotional reason, it just happens. VisaBlack (talk) 16:51, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: i'd be inclined to disagree with all of these descriptors and replace them all with apathy. i think sleepy boy would also. when and where any of these descriptors might be the case is in sexual mutations where female instincts gain representation in males. 166.175.58.73 (talk) 05:44, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

message: Your refernece to Ovid [5] is useless, since GoogleBooks' new policy does not offer access to the text any more. Perhaps another source of Ovid's text may be found?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.175.103.96 (talk) 08:29, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reference to Ovid 

message: The reference to Galen is manifestly and grossly incorrect. There is just no extant text by Galen containing the quoted statement, and the reference cited in this article fails to provide any source for the quotation - it merely repeats a traditional and oft-repeated convention. The best that can be said is that “Post coitum omne animal triste” is a Latin saying (probably originating in the Middle Ages), and that it is often ascribed, though in all cases without evidence, to Galen. This also applies to all of its permutated and extended forms (for instance, “except the rooster, who crows”, “except the rooster and the woman”), none of which has any legitimate claim to priority, authenticity, or Galenian authorship.
The idea (as opposed to the quote) has been traced by the historian Gerhard Fichtner to a sentence in the “Problemata” of Aristotle (a work whose Aristotelian authorship is however in dispute). It reads:
“After sexual intercourse most people tend to be despondent.”
(Bekker Number 955a, translated by E.S. Forster in “The Works of Aristotle”, Oxford 1927)

message: I suspect that most men do not feel sadness / tristesse, but are happy and very tired, are pleased and exhausted for five or ten minutes. Post-coital tristesse - a culturally conditioned cliché?

replies: text: Thank you for sharing your speculations as to how men feel after sex. Can't be a real phenomenon if you suspect otherwise. 98.115.255.240 (talk) 08:10, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
