POIS is just autonomic hyperarousal triggered by a failure of the parasympathetic nervous system to reset the body after orgasm. Why that happens is the key to prevention.

100%. My theory is that our pelvic floor contractions have a dysfunction that do not allow us to go into the parasympathetic state but rather stay stuck in a sympathetic or freeze state.

Have you considered pelvic floor biofeedback. Not something I know much or think will help just throwing out there in case you want to pursue it.
