About POIS Compass
A free, community-built map of POIS experiences.
What this site is
POIS (post-orgasmic illness syndrome) is rare and poorly understood, and most first-hand experience is scattered across forum threads. POIS Compass gathers those public reports in one place so people can see which symptoms others describe, what they say triggers them, and what they tried.
The symptom tree groups reports by symptom; each category holds approach cards showing how many people said something helped, made no difference, or made things worse. The trigger tree lists what people said sets their symptoms off, with their own words.
Free and non-commercial
The site is free, needs no account, shows no ads and sells nothing. We do not collect personal information; we only use cookieless, anonymous page-view statistics.
How the content is made
Public posts and comments (mainly Reddit r/POIS) were filtered and summarised with software and AI models, then grouped and rewritten in plain language. Usernames and links are removed and quotes are short excerpts. Details and limitations are on the Disclaimer & safety page.
Nothing here is medical advice. Please talk to a clinician before trying anything.
