Love & Sex

Men love to do this after sex

(and it has nothing to do with sex)

Once the lovemaking is done and Mr. has released his load, he thinks of only one thing.

Of course, he enjoys cuddling and snuggling with you after the sex too. Although, it turns out: he is especially fond of an after sexy time snack. Something fatty, something big, and something heavy. Throw that pizza in the oven and you score points. Or he gets a huge craving for a cigarette when he's done with all that puffing and doing. And yes, after all the eating and smoking, he wants nothing more than to just nap. But, eh, there is one exception. If he's up for round two, then he suddenly wants to chat, pet, and stick with you. The sly one. It's actually so predictable, such a man in bed. We could have known.

Multiple studies show that we women differ quite a bit from men, because after intercourse, we girls want nothing more than affection and intimacy. So we want to lie in each other's arms and whisper ‘sweetie pie’ in his ear. Or have him tickle our hair. Or massage our neck. But no. Hubby falls into a complete coma within 4.5 seconds. If you're unlucky, even snoring. But he can't help it: the hormones prolactin, melatonin, and vasopressin are released after the sliding party and they promote the man's need for sleep. We women don't produce these sleep substances at all, so we are wide awake and ready to be romantic. All by ourselves, that much is true.

Funny fact: if there is no action and you just go to bed without any action, the woman actually falls asleep earlier. Position horizontal, god, it can be so nice after a long day. Sorry, darling.
