Why do men fall asleep after Sex
There are a few reasons why men tend to sleep after sex — and none of them have anything to do with your personality or performance in the bedroom.
The primary reason for a drowsy partner is biological. According to Life Science, an examination of the orgasm’s biochemistry indicates that during male ejaculation, a mix of brain chemicals is released – one of which is prolactin. While prolactin is associated with sexual satisfaction and the refractory period in men, it is also a hormone that is more abundant during sleep.
Due to the strong correlation between prolactin and sleep — and the fact that intercourse orgasms produce four times the amount of prolactin as masturbatory orgasms — males are prone to be significantly more exhausted following a session between the sheets.
Prolactin is not the only hormone released during male orgasm; oxytocin and vasopressin are also released. Typically, these compounds are combined with melatonin, the hormone that regulates the body’s internal clock. When all three of these hormones are present, relaxation and slumber result.
The tendency to sleep after sex is related with a greater desire for connecting and affection on the part of the partner. That is correct.
The greater the likelihood that one’s partner would fall asleep following sex, the larger the urge for connection.
Physical and mental exhaustion following sex is frequent, and perhaps more so for males. Though you cannot always outwit biology (guys will produce sleep-inducing hormones following sex regardless of what you do), you can change contextual conditions to increase the likelihood of engaging in some post-coital talk.
These studies have established the following health benefits of one orgasm every week:
•Reduces the likelihood of developing moderate depression.
•Reduces the risk of heart disease by 36%.
•Immune system booster.
•Combats the negative consequences of chronic pain.
•Strengthens the pelvic floor, ensuring that everything remains in place and does not leak.
