Intimacy-induced sleepiness in men can be caused by any number of factors that have nothing to do with your personality or ability in the bedroom.
The most fundamental reason for a drowsy partner is biological in nature. Live Science reports that research into the biochemistry of contentment has revealed that during male discharge, a mix of brain chemicals is released, one of which is prolactin, which is associated with feelings of pleasure. Prolactin is a hormone that is present in higher concentrations after sleep and is connected with feelings of intimate fulfillment in men as well as the refractory phase.
Due to the fact that prolactin and sleep are intimately related — and that sexual discharge emits a higher amount of prolactin — men are more likely to feel sleepy after a session between the sheets than women.
In addition to prolactin, the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin are produced during the male clitoral discharge. Melatonin, the hormone that governs the body's internal clock, is frequently seen in conjunction with these substances. Rest and slumber are the results of having all three of these hormones present at the same time.
Furthermore, according to an evolutionary psychology study undertaken by researchers at the University of Michigan and Albright College in Pennsylvania, falling asleep after intimacy is associated with a greater desire for connecting with and affection from one's spouse.
If all of this information about hormones and evolutionary connections has jumbled up your thoughts, there's a more fundamental explanation why your man is sleeping like a log following sexual encounters: boredom. Bedroom intimacy, particularly in the evening, is a common occurrence. Because our brains associate bedtime with the bedroom, it's only natural to feel drowsy when in this atmosphere. Women, like men, are prone to feel drained after having an affair.
Many people, particularly men, have reported feeling physically and emotionally weary after experiencing Intimacy. Though you can't always outwit biology (Men will produce sleep-inducing hormones after Intimacy no matter what), you can manipulate the environment to increase the likelihood that you'll engage in some post-coital conversation.
