NSFW - Orgasms: Rev you up or wipe you out?

Asked by rojo (24179points) May 25th, 2013

There seems to be so little in between, it is either one or the other. Which one is it for you?

Except when I was in my early 20’s, when an orgasm fired me up for more action after a brief refractory period imposed by biology, orgasms make me feel very loving and close to my partner even though I am neither seeking nor capable of trying for another orgasm without a fairly long period to recharge mentally and physically. Do I wish I could still go another round fairly soon? Not really.

Sleepytime.

Depends on the context… Is it a study break or a love making session with someone I get to cuddle with afterwards?

Makes me sleepy. Just talking about it, in fact, usually makessss….

I love nothing more than having a great orgasm and then snuggling up for a snooze. I sleep like a baby. Heaven.

Definitely wipe me out. But in a good way—it’s a grand finale. =)

It has done both for me. It can be invigorating recharging. Like joy and exertion are enough juice to drive one through tasks and functions. Float or fly.

I also love cuddling and sleep. The intimacy of being wrapped in another. The relaxation of tensions I hadn’t realized was present. A melting.

As far as continued pleasure I can be impulsive. I usually like three consecutive acts of congress. Each building and riding the wave of the other. But sometimes tiredness or time or just the moment calls for a somewhat haphazard quickie.

Dunno…what’s an orgasm…I’ve never had one. :-)

Actually, they recharge me and get me going. Paul and I have a morning-based love life; we get together when we’re still in bed from the night before, very relaxed and well-rested. The act is energizing, so—immediately after—we both leap out of bed and begin the day.

Rev me up. I’m wide awake, I usually can’t sleep for 2–3 hours afterward.

Morning O’s rev me up. Nighttime O’s wipe me out. But I make sure I cuddle with my partner either way for a while.

They used to rev me up, my poor exes. lol
Now they just relax me and make me want to have an afterglow dessert. :-D

Usually they rev me up but if it’s 2:00 in the morning I’m purring like a kitten and down for the count.

I have multiple orgasms and when they build up high enough, I’m knocked out, unconscious, incredible bliss. It doesn’t happen every time by any means, but when it does, I’ll see you in my dreams.

With a partner, they generally energize me. On my own, it’s the opposite…sometimes I even use it as a sleep aid. I never even realized this until just now.

It depends on the time of day. In the evening it knocks me out, but if it’s earlier in the day it seems to rev me up.

OpryLeigh's avatar

They wipe me out. I try and delay my orgasms for as long as possible!

Thanks to all who answered! Hope everyone recovered.

It knocks me out too but revs up my wife. Which is a little awkard but we work it out; I take a nap and she goes out shopping.
