Orgasm = Bad Mood?

Hello. I am a 29 year old female.  After I have an orgasm, I am in a bad mood.  (I get annoyed easily, e.g. I walk into the laundry room and there are clothes sitting in the washing machine.  I get angry at the person who left them there, even though I do the same thing and am normally not bothered by this.)  I know that this is ridiculous.  This has been going on as long as I can remember.  My question is:  What kind of doctor should I see?  A psychiatrist?  A certain type of psychiatrist?  A gynocologist? Thank you.

Sexual orgasm is usually accompanied by a general sense of relaxation. The difficulty you report may be related to your relationship with your sex partner. I recommend you seek evaluation by a mental health professional.

Thank you for your comments.  I thought about that, but I don't hate myself!  I wonder if it has anything to do with being on the pill when I was a teenager, or any number of things, really.  I would like to see a professional, but I'm not sure who to go to.  I think a psychiatrist, or psychologist, because I think it's mental, but want some confirmation of where to start in order to minimize embarrassment.

I used to have that experience along time ago when I was in my 20's and 30's. I think my anger afterwards was related to the fact that I really did not like the person I was sleeping with and felt angry with myself for giving into having had sex with him.

You may want to seek a psychiactric evaluation.

No, you don't need to hate yourself, but it's possible you become angry with yourself for a short time after sex because you felt guilty about doing it, did not really like the person you were with, or gave in to a nagging person when you really were not in the mood at the time but did it anyway to avoid the guy becoming nagging and possibly angry with you.

Analyze why and when you have sex if you really wanted it at that time and if you are enjoying it. I can have an orgasim anytime I want when having sex but may not even enjoy it. I finally decided to go celibet until I find the right guy, if there is such a person out there.

You may enjoy the temporary minute or two orgasim but have no fun or pleasure in the overall sexual event leading to the orgasim. That is what used to make me so angry after having sex.

I guess I picked the wrong guys! I have bad taste when it comes to relationships, I always get the leeches that don't want to work or share responsibilities but they sure want their sex every day! That's why I now prefer to live alone with my cats and dogs as my family.

Sorry, that last post was supposed to be to you, not Jessica. I responded to her on another post and confused the two of you. I am in LaLa-Land I guess!
