This article will explain post-nut clarity and why it’s a mystery. It will also tell you what it could be, what it may do, and how it can affect your life.
After sexual arousal and Orgasm, the term “post-nut clarity” means that you feel clear-headed or more grounded. This is a relatively new term. Someone on a podcast created it, and I now have to explain this term to teenagers constantly. Great.
It reveals an exciting set of complex ideas and problems that are poorly understood. I will try to explain them. Join me on the nut-nerd mobile to learn more.
What happens after ejaculation?
Post-nut clarity is what I have written about here. It could be a reference to the period that we’ve known for years. It’s funny that some scientists call it the “post-ejaculation time,” which they shorten into PERT. It is just as amusing. This is a period after men have ejaculated (with genitals) when they are unable to ejaculate, get erections, or even get aroused.
It’s become common sense. Men may have sex and ejaculate but then decide not to repeat it or fall asleep. They leave their partners feeling frustrated because they don’t wish to have any more sex.
It doesn’t work for everyone. Some men can come back more than once and still maintain an erection. (with vulvas), women who ejaculate do not seem to understand this. If it’s a biological process, it does not apply to everyone.
Also, it’s unclear what the cause of this refractory phase is or what exactly happens. Why? The bio/psycho studies of sex are mainly looking for ways to ‘cure the problem’ that men can’t nut in women at the correct time. After they’ve nutted (or any other gender than a bloke),’ science shows the same level of interest in sexual pleasure as it does for women. Not much.
Does it happen after Orgasm?
It is frustrating that a lot of the research on orgasms and ejaculation talks about them like they are the same thing. Ejaculation and orgasms are two different things, as this research paper has shown. This is all very confusing. Orgasm doesn’t happen every time someone ejaculates, and people don’t ejaculate when they orgasm.
It’s possible that the hormones (serotonin, prolactin) released after orgasm act as off-switches during sexy moments. One of the potential patrons is Donorbox. Pay me to work for you! It would be enough if 2000 of you paid PS1 per month.
What do I believe post-nut clarity is?
There’s a lot that goes on when we have sexual feelings or thoughts. Many things are going on when we have sexual thoughts or feelings. It’s not just our bodies that are changing. Our blood is flowing in different directions—our breathing changes. And, of course, our hearts are pumping. It’s called ‘jouissance,’ an excellent French term for ‘soft; it’s quite a bit.’
If we have a’joiissance (je-wee-since), everything that follows will be calmer, more transparent, and back to reality. Imagine that you had sexual thoughts all afternoon but were frustrated because you couldn’t get masturbation. You get home, and you masturbate for a few moments, thinking back on what you thought about. This is a lot of “pre-nut muddled mind” ™. This period of muddled brain ends after Orgasm. It feels like a new phenomenon called ‘post-nut clarity.’
Many sex studies do not include these kinds of sociological and psychological explanations. This is a shame because it isn’t a matter of ‘biology,’ ‘psychology” or sociology.” It’s everything and more.
The Post Nut Clearity Assembly
What are the assembled parts of Post Nut Clarity?
Serotonin- getting their breath back- a change of temperature- being stroked- heart rate dropping- thoughts shifting from sexual to non-sexual ones- exhalations- “what do I need to do next”- prolactin- facial muscles relaxing- the idea ‘post-nut clarity’- phone- core muscles activated- bed- clean up- clothes- dry mouth
This idea will be familiar to you if you have done the module in Teach Yourself, Sex Ed. This is the “body without organs.” It means that all things’ inside the body’ are always related to other things (and vice-versa). All of them are constantly interacting and moving. As if looking at Harry Styles or pornstars on your phone would change the way your body functions.
It also includes the idea of “post-nut clarity” or PERT (lol). You might feel calmer and more precise if you think, “Oh, this is post-nut clarity.” It slows the heartbeat, we breathe more, and the parasympathetic system kicks into action. The thought of something produces that thing. You knew we were geeking out over this.
Posh words are coming up.
The posh word for what I just described happening to our bodies is that we are ‘material-discursive.’ The ‘body’ (the materials) is always related to theories (discourses) being told about it. Stories and bodies are not separate entities that interact, but they do produce one another (which is called interaction).
It’s not as complex as you might think. It’s just:
“Yeah, post-nut clarity is something.”
“Body cools down.”
“Different thoughts and clearer ideas”
“Yup, that’s it. I have post-nut clarity.”
There are many different types of relationships and sex in the world of sex. You can also read more about There are so many stories, and some are more powerful than others. All of them have the potential to affect our bodies in ways that are confusing and complex because they are all made-up stories (like post-nut clarity). They all have different meanings, affect us differently, and can restrict us in ways we do not understand.
Is post-nut clarity “a thing”?
It is, at least for now, since people are constantly discussing it. The internet has it, too, and now I am explaining it. It’s up to you whether you want to experience it. We should try to stop defining things, as it is not helpful. (See also the ‘orgasm.’) Instead, we should consider what works for us and how to improve it. The ‘defining’ is a thing that sex educators don’t do very well because it only creates more stories. We need resources to help us.
This is where I am
What does this mean for you? That’s what I’m here to do. What else could it do? So, instead of thinking, “I’m experiencing a post-nut clarity,” try thinking, “What is post-nut clarity doing for you right now?” What sensations, feelings, and thoughts are you experiencing? Does this work for you? What other factors could be involved?
Try to resist the urge to make sense of everything. Having some knowledge about yourself can be reassuring, but you should also be cautious when writing about your experiences. You can tell specific stories about ‘how you function,’ which may not be very helpful in the future. Try to remain curious and open-minded. Sex is complicated and constantly changing, so don’t take things like “post-nut clarity” too seriously.
After sex, you can relax. You can also take a break and then go again. You might want to doze off. Take a cup of coffee. You should do things to please your partner, not yourself. You can choose from these options and decide what works best for you.
