Women only please, is this normal?!
Question: I am 25 and recently been through a lot. I have no partner so today after I masturbated (we are adults here) I was crying pretty hard. Now I read before this is not abnormal and possibly a release of stress and it has been awhile but this has happened in the past. Please answer respectfully I am just looking to see of this is normal.

The intelligence, compassion and maturity of the answers to this question have just lifted my spirits and restored my faith in humanity (at least for today!). I agree with the others here - the crying sounds like a normal expression of sadness and loneliness to me. The masturbation is, of course, completely normal - one of those things most everyone does and most everyone never admits to - we humans are so silly. Major kudos to you for sheer forthright honesty.
The drugs are also certainly affecting you - from your list, that is some drug cocktail you are pumping into your system. Combine that with the natural volatility of female hormones and I would be surprised if you were not experiencing some sort of mood swings, etc. Like most people, I don't like taking commercial drugs because of the side affects, but sometimes it is just necessary. If the worst you experience is an occasional crying jag, you are doing well. Why not check WebMD or another reliable site to see what the typical side effects for your medications are? - then keep a day to day journal of your emotional and physical state (something simple and short you can show your doctor) - this will help you track if anything is "off" so you and your doctor can determine if any of your medications needs adjustment. At some point in the future, if medically reasonable, you might also look at some safer, natural alternatives to some of your medications.
If you are not doing so currently, you could also try counseling from a professional and/or a support group - it will ease your worries and you will have someone to talk to - and it can be especially great talking with people dealing with the same or similar issues - because they truly do understand what you are going through. There are also some great online support forums for various issues that you might look at.
God bless you and I hope things get better soon.
ive never cried bcuz of that. i really dont know. stress i assume
You are lonely, you cried due to emotional stress - masturbation when you are single can maek you feel good physically but it can also reinforce mentally that you have no partner and make you feel sad.
You're normal.
I hope you fnd someone nice soon.
It's the stress that made u cry, it happened after sex because of ur heightened state. Don't worry but becareful with the meds
It's not abmormal at all,I have been there also in the past.The rush and release that comes with having an orgasm is pretty intense,more so for some than others.Don't let it bother you and just go with the feelings that come along with it...xxx
It's normal. And yes it can be a release of stress. It sounds like you are suffering some emotional battles right now.. are you in counseling? If your not maybe you should try getting into it and see if it helps you. Either that or talk to some friends. You can email me anytime you want.

Yes it is normal....everyone masterbates for different reasons...some for comfort, frustration, release and crying can be part of that too...do you hold unrealistic hang-ups about it? that could be an answer or as you said you've been under a lot of stress lately...
This is perfectly ok...honestly.
I have never cried afterwards. But I don't think thats abnormal. You are just sad and lonely. It's okay.... After wards that releases stress for some. But I could see why you would get upset. Cause its so much nicer when you don't have to do the work yourself. i understand.....
Oh yes it is PERFECTLY NORMAL, dont worry and I am glad that you were able to talk to us and not keep it to yourself. You must be going through a very hard time and it is ok to do these things in order to release stress. I am hoping that you are ok now and that you feel better after you read all these answers.
youve gotten such great answers, i just wanted to say im so proud of the mature responses that have been given!
hope you are feeling better!
First off..in case there are any guys who want to answer with their cocky attiudes...yes women masturbate. Just as often if not more than men. Men do it because they're horny, women do it because we know where to do it and get it done right.
Now, your crying problem...that's not a problem. Women are innately more emotional than men are. This is why, even though we have "casual" sex, we aren't as good at it. We crave something more than wham bam thank you ma'am. We want touching and kissing, and even if we aren't "held" afterwards, it's definitely a plus to have that body beside us...even if it's snoring. When you climax, your hormones are at a high. Just like in a fight your adrenaline takes over. What you experienced was a normal release of those extra pent up emotions and hormones.
Sorry for the long answer, but I hope it helped.
I would have to say with all you've been through with your health and all, it was a release that you really needed.
I've masturbated a lot, it's perfectly normal. Don't be ashamed of it. If you need someone to talk about the stress, send me an e-mail.

Y'know, I sometimes cry pretty hard after good sex WITH my partner. And, yeah, I think it's a release of stress or something like that. Freaks out the fella a little, but he's getting used to me....it seems normal to me!
Good luck!
Of course its normal darlin...don't be so hard on your self I have cried before from the pleasure....so for what ever reason you cried..it was ok...is it not ok to cry when you are sad....?
