I guess that's why they say "A Woman's Work is Never Done"

I get out of talking to Yvette by getting mine in the morning before I go to work!

Then you go to sleep? Sounds like you have a government job.

It's not exactly rocket science.

I thought that's exactly what it is. ;-)

I have a feeling this survey is junk science, though ;-)

I always thought nodding off after boinking was due to the release of endorphins , the body's natural, opiate-like pain killer.

They usually get released for "good behavior" type activities, exercise, sex, etc.

Had a talk with a microbiologist sister-in-law a long time ago about how she got sleepy after breast feeding. She concurred.

Exactly. And different people get different doses and feel lethargic or focused or can go win the world.

'As frustrating as it is for most women that their male partners just roll over and fall asleep after sex, men aren't entirely to blame,' said Dr Neil Stanley, director of sleep at the University of Surrey'

Must be that rotational upset caused by that tsunami!

"Dr Neil Stanley, director of sleep at the University of Surrey"


Also known around campus as "Dr. Demerol"

It's difficult to nap with those pesky 4 hour viagra erections. (At least I don't fall out of bed.)

I'm guessing the effect of endorphins might depend on the amount of histamine release at the same time (whether you get a big flush or not) so the original article might have some validity.

I'm a more of a morning guy. I'll always remember a girlfriend singing a little ditty "Boys just like to have sex in the morning..." after wards, LOL.

After I turned a certain age, taking DHEA before bed kept me a morning guy. I think it's just my natural cycle.

I forget, but I seem to remember reading a study that men's sexual hormones generally peak in the morning, and woman's peak in the evening.

Speaking of peaking, I almost got a woody watching the final jet fight scene from the movie "Top Gun" just now.

I guess that makes me a Military Brat with an overactive histamine release.

"overactive histamine release"

Does that mean a premature histime release would cause one to fall asleep during intercourse?

Doesn't work, my friend. Even when I do the work, he still nods off. I don't mind though, never did. Who wants all that cuddling/babbling nonsense anway? I know he loves me, I don't need the talk to confirm it.

Ironically, I have the opposite reaction - I'm positively energetic! When the earth shakes, I'm usually awake for hours afterwards, cleaning, reading, or FReeping!

God has an amusing sense of humor!

Viagra is a blue pill....my lame attempt at humor was that when your partner brings about great spirit one has trouble sleeping and no troubles otherwise... ;)

That endorphin thing makes sense to me, not that I know what an endorphin is.

I always fall asleep because the tent in the covers block the TV. I get bored.
