Why do men lose interest in sex/sexual arousal immediately after orgasm?

831 views

Why do men lose interest in the sexual activities or anything arousal in general extremely quickly after having an orgasm? How does function of being horny work? How are genitals connected to our decision making capabilities? Why sexual release can change things this fast and this drastically?

It would be funny if I find out I am the only one,
but I assume I am not since all the gags and posts about “post nut clarity” or finding the “content” you are watching becoming unbearable right after you come.

Men have a refractory period where it’s physiologically impossible for a man to have another orgasm.

The length of this period can last from minutes to days.

There’s an [article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_period_(sex)) on wikipedia that explains more.

As regards to post-nut clarity, when aroused, certain chemicals drive men (and women) to have sex. These chemicals can impair decision making.
