I have no pain while ejaculation, and even for a few hours or so. Actually, there are no symptoms whatsoever at all. Symptoms kick-in maybe 14-15 hrs later, and last for 3-4 days. Symptoms = pelvic pain 10 min after urination, not a lot of urge, sitting pain, etc.
What could the reason that there is no pain while ejaculation, if the act causes so much contraction of the pelvic muscles?
Thanks

I often get a delay in pain after ejaculation usually a few hours, but sometimes even up to the next day. There are several things to look at I think when trying to understand this. First let me say that my pain after ejaculation is clearly muscular (even the nerve pain is related to tight muscles) and so it doesn't surprise me that the pain takes a while to come on/peak, the same thing happens after a vigorous work out- you often don't feel sore until the next day or two, even though your muscles have ceased contracting, and the actual work out can be painless. For me the delay in pain is directly tied to how I use the muscles connected to ejaculation- for example: if I ejaculate in the afternoon and sit around for a while or lay down there is usually no pain, until I decide to get up and walk around or do errands or write or do something stressful- then the pain will switch on. This is because I am re-activating the muscles in the pelvic floor/lower back/abs that are used in ejaculation with these activities and they have been pushed right to their threshold already and only need a little more to trigger pain- and this trigger can be as far removed from the actual event of ejaculation as a day. Also if I ejaculate at night, I am usually pain free for most of the night because I am laying down and whilst conscious am controlling the tension in my muscles, but as soon as I go to sleep I begin to grind my teeth and clench my muscles so I can wake up with a lot of pain. Again, it is the same thing happening. I am not sure this absolutely explains your case but I think it gives you a good framework for understanding the onset of your symptoms- if you are truly confused by the onset of your symptoms after ejaculation I recommend keeping a pain journal wherein you log everything you do/eat along with your pain levels and symptoms for a week or two, this can be very effective in uncovering otherwise subtle cause-and-effects.
