One of the chemical released in the brain during orgasm in men is a large amount of Dopamine. It makes us feel very good but also has a sedating effect causing us to want to role over and go to sleep after a good round of sex. During a womens orgasm her brain release less Dopamine and more Serotonin then a man which also makes her feel very good and happy but does not have the sedating effect. This could be the reason behind the whole Cliché of the guy wanting to sleep after sex and the women wanting to talk.

If you or others want to stay awake, and/or have additional orgasms, the trick I've discovered is to get up and walk around and get the blood flowing, again as the saying goes. Works for me, most likely this will work for others.

Not all women want to talk after sex.I personally like to snuggle up with my man in the spoons position(resting on our sides,him behind me)That way he has easy access if he wants to go another round later on.And he can cuddle me and fondle my breasts and elsewhere;)to his hearts content.LOL!!!

From my point of view orgasm can lead to sleeping, snuggle and/or talking. With snuggle being complementary to sex.

I masturbate till orgasm to fall asleep every once in a while. It's my natural sleeping drug without any side-effect! :) So apparently women can benefit from the sleepy effect too.

My bf never falls asleep immediately. Whenever I don't scoop over to cuddle up with him, he moves over to me. I guess I'm lucky with him being so cuddly! I always need to snuggle after, because I feel like we're melted and fused together when we make love. So I need that time to let him go steadily. After cuddles; I sometimes am just in this peacefull bliss and sink into sleep (which is in sync with his preference ;))

Sometimes I need to talk, usually with his arms still around me. To me the world seems more relaxed and clear after an orgasm, as if everything slows down. That effect is most powerful after a good session of making love. Combined with the deep feeling of attachment and the safety of him holding me, leads me to talking about things that have confused me or troubled my mind for some time. Before I just didn't have the courage or couldn't find the words, after some good lovemaking I can :) My bf let's me have that moment, but I must admit it does take him effort ;)

We've all heard the phrase that someone "needs to get laid"? It really works. T has proposed it for me before. Sometimes it's stress and a need for a direction to send the pent up energy. Sometimes it's irritability that even I can't explain, and trouble sleeping.

He starts wanting to play a little, one thing leads to another, and we end up with a happy, destressed, peacefully sleeping lady.
