British scientists conducted a series of studies to determine what makes men fall asleep immediately after sex. The reason, it turns out, is simple: lovemaking tires the male body.
Researchers from the University of Surrey conducted a series of experiments involving men and women. After analyzing the results, the scientists came to a curious conclusion: according to statistics, approximately 80% of men fall asleep immediately after intercourse, while women remain energetic and alert during this period. According to experts, men feeling sleepy immediately after sex is a completely natural phenomenon, easily explained by physiological processes in the body.
According to British researchers, the main culprit behind this drowsiness is a hormone responsible for muscle strength. As soon as lovemaking ends, its blood levels drop sharply, triggering feelings of fatigue and drowsiness. Women, however, are much less susceptible to this hormone's influence, so they don't experience the feeling of exhaustion after lovemaking. Moreover, when sex culminates in orgasm, a massive dose of the happiness hormone is released into the bloodstream, energizing the female body and giving it a feeling of lightness and joy.
