Why men fall asleep after sex

A woman should be glad that a man falls dead asleep. Men who jump up right after are usually up to no good *lol*

I think he's referring to "position", not life in general.

Men are on top more often than women. "on top" is more work than on bottom...get it?

"What's the big deal here anyway? So what if men fall asleep after having sex? They didn't say after which ROUND they finally fall asleep. :o)"

Whoa...I don't recall Dr. Stanley addressing this "problem"... :-)

"Honey -- after this cigarette, come over here and be my little Circus Animal..."

The survey found 48 per cent of men had actually fallen asleep during the act itself.

Good grief, now that would be depressing, for both of 'em!!

I'm not sure I agree with your motive, but it sure is a great way to start the day! ;^)

Well, between 12 hours of work, Taekwondo Class and my katana (Iaido )Katas put my usual bodyweight work-outs, I am usually pretty beat when I get to bed. I can hit it pretty good in the mornings though.

One Sunday a month we have what we call "Movie and Bed" day. We get a bunch of DVDs from Blockbuster and we stay in bed most of the day. Usually have sex in the intermissions between movies. ;o)

And you can jump at the chance to recover the remote control!

Nope, NOT usually good omen.

Neither is checking out the watch or working on a salami sandwich during the festivities.

That's one Major Drunk Man...

The old-fashioned term for that is 'holing up'. Makes for some great weekends. :o)

It's better than a sleeping pill.

One summer our air conditioner was on the fritz and it was pretty warm early in the morning. I had gotten up in the middle of the night and gotten a glass of tea. I drank half of it and set the rest of it down on a nightstand beside the bed. Well I was in the mood upon awakening and decided to exercise my husbandly perogatives. So I am going at it, setting a higher performance standard than I usually do. Well it got hot, I was sweating, I look over and there is that half glass of tea, ice still in it. Condensation dripping off the sides of the glass. I reached over without missing a beat and probably would have gotten away with it, if some drops of condensation had not dripped down and landed on Yvette's back. Needless to say, it did not go over well.

I was wondering why you stayed up so late!!!

[GretchenM]

I think you might have wanted to address your post at 202 to another person (I don't understand it in context with my other posts on this thread).

premature histime release

I don't know about a premature histamine release, but was wondering if the combined physiological effects of endorphins and histamines in differing doses had anything to do with nodding off after the O.

Histamines among other things, are a vasodialators, so I'm guessing premature histamine release might cause you to lose your woody. Now that I think about it, maybe that's the reason why the body releases histamines after the O.

Otherwise all men would end up with one of those 4-hour rods the Levitra TV commercials warn about, LOL. I guess the same goes for women's vaso-erectile functions and their histamine release.

As Gazoo said in talking about endorphins: different people get different doses and feel lethargic or focused or can go win the world.

This whole thread is kinda pointless to me, except for the fact that it involved sex (know the every 3 seconds rule?), and I was mainly interested in the chemical aspects.

The ex would damn near pass out after all her O's by the time I was done, so she wouldn't have heard a thing I said anyway.

[benjaminjjones]

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

I don't either really, but that's why I put the Wikpedia endorphin definition link in post 128

After my first boink I did get interested in the whole chemistry/physiology of the whole thing, so I read as much as the library had to offer.

I'm not a doctor, don't play one on TV or FR, but do have a brain that likes the "hard sciences".

I was first a Physics major, then an EE major, after I was finally able to transfer an in-state (cheaper) school that offered EE, so I have a solid background in the hard sciences (did 4 years, but never finished, DOH!)

The odd thing is that I only got ever A's in chemistry, not Physics or EE, specifically stoichiometry (mostly lab work).

I love Chem and would have stayed in Chem but they were mostly sorta strange people. Couldn't imagine working the rest of my life with them. One Chem roommate in college had a nervous breakdown and dropped out mid-semester, LOL

His brain couldn't handle the test stress. My brain loves test stress. It's weird people (liberals, homos, etc) that my brain can't handle.

[spetznaz]

LOL.

[Happygal]

Um...well you might want to check for a pulse first! ;-)

[Larry Lucido]

Good morning, Happygal.

Well, the pulse was there when I started! :-)

[cyborg]

hehehe

[Happygal]

Good morning, Larry ;-)

Well, I'm relieved to hear that necrophilia hasn't taken off your side of the pond! *L*
