Tired After Sex
Firetyger asked on her site what people did to fall asleep at night. I mentioned “sex.”
She mentioned that sex energized her which is what happens to my wife.Perhaps men just get tired and women get energized by sex.Does sex energize you or make you want to sleep?

The idea of it energizes me. After doing it makes me tired.
sex energizes me enough to want more sex
I don’t remember but I once told some fellow musicians our music was like sex. One of them asked, “Really?” I answered, “Yeah. Why do you think the first thing we do after a set is go outside and light up cigarettes?”
Depends on the kind of sex…
I dont get energized…I want to roll over and go to sleep.
Old age makes me tired and want to sleep.
Endorphins don’t act like speed for me…. Zzzzzzzzz
It just gives me carpal tunnel.
It makes me sleepy.
it depends on the time of day for me. if I do it during my prime time window, it gives me a huge boost of energy. otherwise it just relaxes me.
Well, I d know that after sex males calm down and get tired after like 5 minutes, but females are aroused for an hour afterwards.
I wish I could remember… lol
depends on the duration.
feel tired but excited after sex. So couldn’t fall asleep immediately.
Definitely not sleepy.
I suffer from Narcolepticnymphmania.
…it’s complicated.
It energizes me but puts my husband right to sleep. Kind of a pain.
Sex energizes me and makes me want more for sure.
sleep.
An improper release can be energizing.
I’m energized by it, but it makes my husband tired.
I don’t think sex is a factor to my energy lol. It’s either I’m already energized and would like to go for rounds or I had a long tired day and would like to sleep right afterwards.
It usually makes me hungry, which after eating makes me tired.
@ShimmerBodyCream - You are funny!
Depends how long the sex has been going on for and if I’m doing all the work or if he is
Usually I’m energized by it , sometimes if I’m already tired it makes me more sleepy though
Sleep. Nature’s reset.
It depends.
I wouldn’t know. Not yet married.
Maybe it’s because the man orgasms and decides that sex is over, while the woman hasn’t orgasm-ed yet, so she is still unsatisfied and energized. This happens to me often…
Note to men: just because you came, it doesn’t mean the night is over…
makes me tired.
It makes me thirsty…
..for more sex
YEAH!
Apparently, after men orgasm, a rush of sedating chemicals are released from the brain, which is why men especially tend to get rather tired and sleepy after sex. There is a theory that this happens so that the woman can lie with the man and feel she is bonding with him, whereas if he stayed awake he’d probably lose interest and walk off, and no bonding would occur. Apparently those sedating chemicals are released in women too, but to a lesser extent.
After about three hours straight, I get sleepy.
@AutumnStrength - Nah, I think sex makes men tired so that when he passes out the woman can move on to the next man and then by time she gets back the first man is still asleep. This increases the likelihood of the survival of mankind. (Really, I think scientists just make crap up.)
yeah, sleep for sure. I think anyway I can’t remember.
Sleep. Multiple orgasms will do that to me.
@TiredSoVeryTired – Well yeah, it’s all speculation and theory, but there’s always a reason for everything. We don’t get sleepy for no reason, but who knows what that reason is.
It energizes me.
Usually shuts the boyfriend down.
I think it tires him more when I ride.
ZZZZZ.
i’m energized before and during, but after, i do not want to cuddle. i just want to go to sleep.
and btw, YOU ALWAYS mention sex… or the lack thereof.
about 50/50
@ShimmerBodyCream - ROFLMAO, well, he wasn’t exactly clear on the kind of sex, now was he? LOL
Sex energize me, no matter what kind I get. lol
@Super_Rob_of_the_Sky - boooooooooooooooooooo
So right after, a good one, I’m all pumped and energized– BUT once I go to sleep, the quality of rest is better.
Masturbating– now that’s a good way to get to bed.
Depends on how good or bad it was.
Good = sleep
OK = stay up for a bitBad = now I am frustrated and have to do something to release my frustration which ends up being house cleaning or photo editing until sunrise.
When we have sex I usually just want to sleep afterwards. Sometimes if it’s not so long I get a boost of energy.
It makes me want to empty out my colostomy bag.
Sex makes me feel guilty because of my latent homosexual urges towards Jesus.
DAN that’s an invasive question!
i feel like such a man after sex. i’m content and i get tired and end up napping while my boyfriend can stay awake. the time of day doesn’t really matter
what Earl responded I’m blown away that you can make $4746 in a few weeks on the computer. did you see this webpage http://www.wow83.com
I usually feel about the same.
@AutumnStrength - lol I’d reckon guys are so sleepy after sex because they are usually, not always, but usually the ones doing all the physical work and then they are often already in bed… nap time.
Both sex get tired
I get wrist injuries.
It all depends on three things: 1) how tired you were before the sex, 2) how much moving you did to achieve climax, and 3) whether you actually achieved full climax.
It depends on how I felt before, if I’m really, really tired I get tired afterwards, if I’m just normal or kinda awake then it energizes me.
No, it just makes my knees hurt. Or that could just be the massive rug burn on them.
Comatose. I don’t even feel like moving afterwards
@TwinkleSprinkles - LOL, UGH, rug burns SUCK!!! (no pun intended dear)
@CaKaLusa - BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA, no comment!!!!
Before I turned 60, it energized me. Now….sleep! Perhaps different when I retire…..
Usually, I want to go to sleep.
Of course not before lighting up a cancer stick.
…..depends on my work day/schedule, but generally energized…. If its a long day, wellllll….. zzzzzzz! but then I occaisionally suffer from ol’ timers syndrome…. reality sucks!!! lol Peace, Dan
