I know ladies. It's really annoying when after having amazing sex. You somestimes might feel more awake. So your wanting to talk and cuddle with your partner. Sadly Majority of the time you probably won't be able to. Since he's probably killing himself trying to not fall asleep. That or he just literally passes out asleep. Women please do not get mad at him for it. It's not his fault at all. Sadly biology is the cause of it all. During an orgasm men are being overloaded with A LOT of chemicals. Those chemicals all are working against him to knock him out. So I shall explain each of the chemecials and the reasons why they make them fall asleep.
Prolactin
This chemical is one of many that gets released once a man has ejaculated. It's also the chemical that is linked to feelings of sexual satisfaction. This is the main chemical that causes men to feel tired after sex. Since it promotes the feeling of sleepiness and drowsiness. This also ends up being why a man can't go into round 2 asap. Their prolactin levels are really high after ejaculating. Also the levels of prolactin after ejaculation. Is higher after having intercorse than when a man masturbates.
Oxytocin
This hormone is sometimes nickednamed the,"love hormone." It's the chemical that promotes bonding between partners. So when your more intimate with someone it promotes love and trust between each other. So you end up feeling more relaxed with that person. So if both of you are feeling relaxed and stress free with each other. That will add more of the sleepy feeling to men afterwards.
Neurotransmitters
During ejaculation, men end up releasing norepinephrine, serotonin, and NO (Nitric Oxide). This combo of different chemicals and neurotransmitters. Add even more to the feeling of relaxation. So thanks to all of these they cause the brain, body, and the penis. To feel relaxed through out each area.
Parasympathetic Relaxation
After having sex the parasympathetic nervous system starts to kick in. Which inturn if you let go of any anxiety or fear. That adds even more to the relaxing/sleepyness a man will feel after sex.
Physical Exertion
Sometimes or maybe even more often. Men tend to do more physical work during sex than women. Meaning majority of the time they are doing the thrusting part. Depending how long y'all both go during sex. That could also take it's toll on how tired the guy is going to feel.
So after dealing with ALL OF THOSE what's the best way to fix that sleepy feeling? Just give into the feeling. Even if you just had sex and it's noon. You should take a nap so between 15-25 minutes. Sleeping actually helps a man to recover faster and to have a round 2 sooner. So ladies people don't hate your guy for falling asleep. Let him sleep because it can equal to doing even more kinky things sooner. :)
It is also hypothesized that another cause for why males fall asleep afterwards. It could be so to help prevent the man from running off with another partner or hopping to another womans bed. Though that is just something scientists think could be a reason.
I hope y'all liked myTake and know it's not the dudes fault for being so sleepy after sex.
