The term “sleepover date” has gone viral for some time. It turns out that there are several terms with the same meaning that have been circulating before. Such as “staycation” or “Friend With Benefits (FWB).” All of these terms lead to a casual style of dating by “sleeping” with a partner who is not yet married.
All these terms are now starting to raise controversy among netizens. Many think that all these terms seem to open up opportunities to normalize free sex among young people.
Not only that, experts also argue that “sleepover dates,” “staycation,” or “FWB” can trigger psychiatric problems in someone. Quoted from Healthline, Sunday (18/9/2022), there is a depression that appears after having sex. This is known as postcoital dysphoria (PCD). Depression can range from feelings of sadness to anxiety, agitation, anger. “Basically any bad feeling after sex that you wouldn’t normally expect,” explains Gail Saltz, MD, professor of psychiatry at NY Presbyterian Hospital Weill.
This feeling even makes a person cry loudly for 5 minutes to 2 hours. There are several causes of PCS or depression after sex.
One is because of feelings about the relationship being lived. If it’s a one-night stand or a casual relationship, someone may feel sad not really getting to know your partner. Maybe you feel lonely or regret the encounter and the deed.
