How physically hard is sex?

[Anonymous]

So yeah I'm a virgin and I was just wondering, how physically hard is sex for a guy, like how tire you get after sex?

LOL, very funny. Women are trying to answer a question about guys :-) As if they would know better...

Sex once is fine. Twice in a row, a bit tiring. As if you have a girlfriend who expects you to give it to her every day or two (and do most of the work, which is what women expect mostly unless they're p*rn-stars or whores!) then it can get tiring!

How tired you get depends on a lot of other factors: (1) when you've had sex last (if it's 2-3 days back, you'll actually feel destressed; but if it was five minutes ago, then producing that sperm is something else) (2) how fresh your relationship is -- most women tend to be extra horny at the start of a relationship... and that's quite flattering to the male ego.

More than the "tiring" aspect, the problem with sex for a guy in today's world is (i) women aren't as submissive as they were even 40 years ago, which can be threatening (ii) when things don't work out, it can be very frustrating (iii) just when your beginning to enjoy sex after some time with your partner, she will probably lose interest and leave you high and dry :-)

Continually changing partners just to get a steady supply of interesting sex can be both tiring and soul-killing.

It's a pretty decent workout, and you'll likely feel sore all through your core the next day... until your endurance improves, just like any workout. Cramps happen sometimes, especially in odd positions.

The good news is that it's not the same as forcing yourself to work out. You actually enjoy what you're doing, so the whole "mind over matter" thing kicks in, and it's all good.

I'm not in the greatest shape, and I've never had many issues with it... during at least. I've had many muscle aches the mornings after, but who cares at that point.

I agree with the 2nd answer on this question. Guys do usually get more tired than girls do, especially after they finish. My ex boyfriend once got really tired after the second round and went to sleep for a bit, where I stayed up and still wanted to have sex. Once he woke up we continued but he was getting so tired he didn't end up finishing. He went back to sleep and after a while I did too even though I could have gone a couple more rounds.

It was kinda the same with this other guy I had sex with before. He was drained after round three, he was breathing really hard and said "okay, no more" lol he did last a while too and he went rough and fast so it depends on those two things as well.

Sex itself seems to be pretty natural for most guys. You just follow your instincts and pay attention to the girl's response to your actions. From what I'm told, guys need at least a short rest/nap afterward, whereas women tend to be able to "have another go" and stay frisky a little longer (unless they have "dry" tendencies, which you need to google search so I don't get criticized for being too explicit).

If your doing a really good job it can be exausting, but feels so darn good you don't care and you collaspe when it is over.

It really depends on how hard you go at it. Obviously the harder you go, the more wore out you'll end up being at the end. But during, you're into it and all worked up that you don't really feel like collapsing until once you've finished. You may even end up breaking a sweat if you're going quick enough...or if it's too hot :\

just remember to pull out right before the female is about to orgasm or else you run the risk and getting your penis amputated.

I think most of us might get bored.

you know how you get tired after you jerk off? that because the pineal gland in your brain releases a hormone that regulates sleep and makes you tired called melatonin. It turns out your melatonin levels are 4 times higher after sex than after beating off. This is what makes you so damn tired. the effects seem most prominent about an hour after sex.

so it's not that it's physically exhausting. it's all the melatonin.

Can we have a scale to adjust our answer? What do you mean by hard?

Like is one the equivalent to lying on your back in bed, while 10 is running a marathon while wearing a 50 lb weight suit?

It depends on how long you last, but sex (especially for the guy) is pretty physically intensive. I mean, ask yourself, could you do 5-25 min of cardio right now? If you couldn't then you would probably find sex a little hard.
