Post Ejaculatory Guilt Syndrome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Post Ejaculatory Guilt Syndrome, or PEGS, is a little known but widely experienced sexual dysfunction which lasts for approximately 5 minutes after the male orgasm.[verification needed] This can occur both after sexual intercourse and more commonly following masturbation. During this period the male in question will find himself completely unattracted to the person or subject matter concerned in the previous activity. The male may also experience emotions of disgust or dislike towards both themselves and any other people they interact with during the PEGS period.
The latin phrase post coitum omne animal triste est (after sexual intercourse every animal is sad) describes this phenomenon. It is usually attributed to Aristotle. The quote is sometimes appended with praeter mulierem gallumque meaning: except the woman and the rooster.
