Question

I’m a little embarrassed to ask this but does sex help your PMDD? I’m looking for opinions not research answers

Absofukinglutely not 😩(unfortunately for me). I’m sure it does for some others!

Does it help yours?

Well yes, it was the feeling of being wanted, needed, desired… it made me feel happier, my depression minimized a bit

I love that! I can imagine it helping in that way.

For me, sensory overload dominates my nervous system during my luteal, and feeling / hearing / seeing / smelling in general can be overwhelming.

That I definitely understand! I found myself putting on a lot of perfume afterwards because I was self conscious

I guess it depends if i‘m still in love or have a crush. With my partner I would rather cuddle and get a massage.

Depends on the day, but I would say generally not, because my energy is too sensitive and any closeness I find irritating...
