(NSFW) Why do we feel clear-headed and more focused after an orgasm?

You’re watching “The Doctors” now, aren’t you.

You do?

Um…. I don’t know that it has that effect on me.

I generally feel like a nap.

@prolificus No I’m not lol. I was just thinking about it.

You guys don’t know what I’m referring to? When you feel more relaxed and your mind is at ease…...

@Shae – Ditto.

@Blackberry I feel that way after drinking coffee or eating chocolate, not after sex.

We slept together?? ;) lol

@wilma Interesting…....
And lucillelucille, yeah….we probably did haha.

I don’t! I feel like @Shae and @MissAnthrope , a nap. Or at least a chance to revel in how great that felt! Study? Rubic’s Cube? Hardly.

I definitely agree. I notice it more so when there is some sexual tension or I’ve been waiting all day for it and I’m a bit on edge about it lol. And then once it’s over I feel so much more relaxed and like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! Kinda weird but it happens every time lol.

One way to think about sex is like a reboot, Nice fresh empty memory uncluttered and either a hairy chest or a soft, bumpy body with two points to look at laying next to gazing in your eyes as if saying “let’s have and snack and meet back here for a repeat”!!!

“lets have a snack” thats usually how i feel too haha

For me @deni ; The nightstand in the little box! Then you don’t have to leave the room, just wait and cuddle and then- well_kiss kiss kiss_…

btw- your pic of your exfoliate mask is great!

It’s always better to pop a few shots off instead of carrying a loaded gun. Unless you keep the safety on…

speak for yourself, lol

I think it’s because during sex, we are so caught up in the throes of passion and excitement, and the tension is so mindblowing, that after orgasm there is nothing but post-coital calm——that’s why we feel more clear-headed and focussed. It’s like the calm after the storm has passed, and clear skies afterwards.

My post coital experience is feeling relaxed and desiring to cuddle, not solve complex analytical problems.

I’m not a roll over and go to sleep type of lover, but I don’t feel especially clear thinking and highly focused immediately after climaxing.

@Blackberry -That’s why you never call! lol!

I agree with @Dr_Lawrence I hate just rolling over I like to cuddle afterwards and savor the precious moments.

because of endorphins, oxytocin, and prolactin

Orgasms release tension, burn up adrenaline and give a pleasure burst that makes the whole body feel better, how can the brain not relish that? It’s the best exercise and stress relief I can think of.

Because getting laid is not foremost in your subconscious anymore, for a little while. For me this feeling usually lasts about 20 minutes…
