Prolactin?!


Question: I've been reading online about prolactin, which from what I've gathered is a "cool-down" chemical that is released with dopamine during orgasm. Supposedly this causes people to become drowsy and could cause mood changes for the worse or loss of sexual interest, things usually felt right after sex/masturbation. But what I found alarming was that some sites say that it can stay in your system for around 2 weeks.
Is this true? Could an orgasm cause such things for up to 2 weeks? If so to what extreme?

Prolactin is a "constant" hormone, released in peaks.
It's constantly in "system".

i just do not see that that makes any sense. yes you can get tired because you are relaxed. usually sex is very good for all of your body parts, heart, lungs, mental, everything. of course that is safe sex
