    Question

    I sometimes uncontrollably cry after masturbating and orgasm. Not every time. Even though I know masturbating isn't wrong, I get incredibly sad afterwards, not guilty. What is my problem?

    Answer

    This response sounds like release: release of tension and/or emotions you are not conscious of. These are probably sad emotions that you might become more conscious of with some support from a counselor.
