The philosopher\xa0Baruch Spinoza, in his\xa0Tractatus de Intellectus Emendatione, wrote: "For as far as sensual pleasure is concerned, the mind is so caught up in it, as if at peace in a [true] good, that it is quite prevented from thinking of anything else. But after the enjoyment of sensual pleasure is passed, the greatest sadness follows. If this does not completely engross, still it thoroughly confuses and dulls the mind."\xa0Arthur Schopenhauer, writing later on the phenomenon, observed that "directly after copulation the devil's laughter is heard."\n\nIn this episode, Michael aims to further explore aspects of his sexual life, documenting areas that can become obstacles. Here, he shares his experiences living with Postcoital Dysphoria (PCD). While he has previously discussed this topic in earlier seasons (S1E5 Extras), he goes into more detail here.

Study:

\nOne study (1) reported that among a sample of 1208 male participants, 40% of them had experienced PCT at least once in their lifetime and 20% reported experiencing PCT in the four weeks preceding the study. This study also reports that 3\u20134% of the sample experienced PCT symptoms on a regular basis.\n\n(1) Maczkowiack, Joel; Schweitzer, Robert D.
