After a really intense night with a new lady friend (lots of physical stuff without climaxing), I wake up this morning with some of the worst symptoms I've ever had. My pubic region, testicles and rectum both feel extremely sore and I'm trying to make the best of it (she's still here).
This is my second "flare" ever and the last one was pretty miserable too after a similar experience. Besides dedicating extra time to stretching, taking a Motrin, and generally taking it easy, what do you suggest I try to relieve the immediate discomfort from this flare? What can I do to avoid future problems? I like the girl and I don't want it to be a continuous problem as our relationship progresses.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Major flare after hot and heavy night
Hiya
I often ache after having a lot of sex, best I find, is to invite your lady friend into a nice hot bubble bath, light some candles, and just both relax in the bath cuddled up together. To her its very romantic, to you its very relaxing!!!!

Re: Major flare after hot and heavy night
Thanks, Gary.
Unlike my last flare, I didn't feel sore until the next day. I found that doing a lot of my stretches really helped (my hip flexors especially where very taut). I may hop in the tub now to help out.
It seems that the last time I had an intense physical night and orgasmed, I didn't have any problems. Is this the chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome version of "blue balls"? :sad: :sad:
I've had blue balls before, and that pales in comparison to the ache I was feeling a few hours ago.

Re: Major flare after hot and heavy night
Good stuff here...You got it right on the head....No pun intended 
Not ejaculating after stimulating the pelvic nerves, muscles etc...can heighten our CP/CPPS.
Man...instead of writing this while she was there...you should of cranked one out in the bathroom or something to relieve your self

Re: Major flare after hot and heavy night
I think you did really well actually to go that long and have an intense night and not climax!!! That takes some doing!! I must be weak willed in that regard lol :)

Re: Major flare after hot and heavy night
My problem of the last night happened after drinking and rubbing one out, be careful. I think that I did not "fully" orgasm as when you drink the blood is thin, and that contributed to the pain I had. Not the alcohol, but the masturbation. A bath helped. Try that, also deep breathing. 
Good to go!

Re: Major flare after hot and heavy night
Thanks for the responses, guys. Let me tell you, doing my stretches, specifically the pigeon pose, REALLY helped me out.
The first time I had a flare after fooling around, I was sore for days. It was before I found this site and learned about chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome and pelvic floor dysfunction, so I was really scared. I had just had an amazing date with this girl and the night ended perfectly, so the fact I had to deal with pain when I should have been so excited was really terrible. I was in excruciating pain that night, lying in a fetal position on the floor of my bathroom, so I went to the health center the next day. The doctor there had no idea about chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (can't blame the guy, none of the doctors I saw in the previous 3 years of searching figured it out either) so I thought there was something seriously wrong.
This most recent flare occurred with similar circumstances. To speak plainly, lots of making out, lots of excitement with a new partner, lots of dry humping, lots of stimulation, but no orgasm. The pigeon pose, working my hip abductors with my Theracane, and a hot bath, and I was pretty darn close to 100% the next day. I'll bring this up with my PT on Thursday to hear her feedback.

Re: Major flare after hot and heavy night
Pigeon pose is a great stretch I do in yoga. There was a former moderator back in the day, "Lighting Tree" who was greatly helped by this pose.

It has definitely been a great addition to my stretching regimen. Would you recommend any other yoga poses?carld wrote:Pigeon pose is a great stretch I do in yoga. There was a former moderator back in the day, "Lighting Tree" who was greatly helped by this pose.

Re: Major flare after hot and heavy night
Had the same sort of experience last night. Worst. Blue. Balls. Ever. But I was fine today until I started thinking about her and getting aroused again. Now I need to go look up "pigeon pose. "
[edit]
Holy crap. Hips are sore from the unusual stretching but pelvis feels better immediately! Adding that to repertoire.
[edit 2]
I think I did it wrong and gave myself sciatica.
