Since the inception of sexuality, many reasons have been given why men
sleep just immediately after sex; with ‘they are selfish’ point topping
the list of reasons, many need to know the real reasons why this has
been prominent with men.
Although sex has been referred to as one
of the most enjoyable things between a man and woman, the woman race
has been on the search to know why men nods straight to sleep aftera
good sex. With most women thinking ”dropping” straight into sleep by
their men is a complete negative phenomena, the general notion has been
that men are actually selfish to sleep immediately not minding how their
mates feel about it .
Although men argue that the nature of sleeping
immediately after sex is due to tiredness from its rigors, Scientists
have however found a good argument for men by confirming that ”men sleep
after sex because they just cannot help it”. In a recent publication by
Punch, it has been ascertained that men sleep after sex because they
have little power over their bodies at that point in time, hence, not
being able to stay awake after the whole rigor of sex.
Scientists
have said that men really do need to sleep after sex when they climax
because their brains become flooded with sleep-inducing chemicals such
as oxytocin, serotonin and prolactin. Also, the blood rush after the
climax depletes the muscles of energy-producing glycogen and because men
typically have higher muscle density than women, they become more tired
after sex.
A research made it known that after sex, a man’s
cerebral cortex, which is the ‘thinking’ area, shuts down almost
immediately after heavenly feeling, in which two other areas, the
cingulate cortex and amygdale make the rest of the brain to deactivate
from intimate desire. This successive intimate behavior has however been
linked to only humans alone according to research.
However it has
been said that wives can talk to their partners about how they feel
after sex, urging their husbands to dedicate few minutes for them
immediately after sex, so as to help enhance the sleeping nature of
their husbands after sex.
According to a Consultant
Psychologist, Prof. Toba Elegbeleye, said sex takes a lot of energy to
complete and that there is tendency for the brain and the entire system
to want to rest when such intense energy is exhibited. He also made it
known that the location where the intimate activity takes place also has
a way of affecting the man. In his words: “When you indulge in sex,
which usually takes place at night when people sleep naturally, it comes
with a level of intensity that involves all your energy and whatever
you can muster to make it have a shaking effect, after which the
multi-nerve ends are relaxed. This makes people sleep easily.
“It
also depends on where you do it. Usually, if it is a legal encounter,
which takes place in your own bedroom where you are comfortable, you
might sleep, which is different from when you do it in your car or
somewhere else under duress, that is not so comfortable.
“Another
factor that could aid sleeping well after sex is eating good food prior
to the act because you may not be able to do it well if you are hungry
and the body entertains only one urge at a time and hunger is as strong
an urge and a drive as sex is. Other factors could be to have a pleasant
room atmosphere with a good bed and if there is no thought of
threatening financial burden or security issues in mind.”
