Dr. Serge Stolero and his team studied men's brains before, during, and after sex and discovered that men are biologically programmed to fall asleep after orgasm.
According to the analyzed X-rays, the male cerebral cortex enters a state of rest after orgasm, sending signals to the rest of the brain to reduce sexual desire. Serotonin and opioid production begins, two substances that play a key role in inducing sleep.
Women, on the other hand, are less susceptible to this phenomenon. After orgasm, they release oxytocin and other "trust hormones," which enhance their sense of connection and desire to hug and exchange loving words. This biological difference can sometimes lead to misunderstandings between spouses.
How can these differences be dealt with?
-
For menBefore you fall asleep, spend a few minutes cuddling with your wife and saying kind words or thanking her for her performance. This simple act fulfills her emotional needs and strengthens your relationship.
-
For the wifeIf you notice your husband falling asleep immediately after sex, don't take it personally. This behavior is completely normal and has a biological explanation. Try to understand his need for rest without being pushy, as his body is designed differently than yours.
Ultimately, understanding and communication between spouses about these natural differences strengthens the marital relationship and increases intimacy and harmony.
