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

835 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.

Lowers testosterone and dopamine. (rest and recover)
Increases prolactin. (increases bonding, same chemical responsible for Mother-child bonding)

More sex would after finishing would not increase the chance of pregnancy and extending your genes.

Sounds as if it triggers men to sleep so that they stay in one place for the women to bond with.

Post-nut clarity dumps a load of hormones into the bloodstream which results in sudden detumescence and sleepiness.

I’m sure if you give the guy a break you know let him hydrate. He’ll probably be up for another round.

Is there any actual answer to the question? All I see is tangents and karma farming comments that add nothing to the convo haha

One idea has to do with the shape of the glans of the penis. The “bell” shape, with the proximal radial lip is hypothesized to be good for removing semen from sexual competitors who got there first. With the competition semen removed and the current semen in place…if one maintained his engorged penile glans and physical enthusiasm one might remove their own semen…and with it any biological advantage. So, therefore, loss of erection and off to sleep you go.

Credit to @CDNatalie (see above) for beating me to this explanation.

No they don’t always, and also how are you supposed to explain this like you’re 5?

That’s damn true, I have exactly the same thing and it’s also with objects too. Leather Material, as soon as I’m done, I feel sick and want to get it off me, it’s only trousers that is on top and nothing weird but I don’t want to touch it any longer.

I’ve seen movies where men would just walk off after the scene like they don’t care anymore.

I think Sex and Love are separate things, or at least if you have both together, then fine you can be happy smiling at the person afterwards, if it’s only sex you cared about and not the person then maybe you just want to get away as quick as possible and not think about anything sexy anymore.

It’s worse when it’s just a spontaneous MB, I prefer about 2-3 hours of just watching videos of the same leather material that someone is wearing, it’s more fun. That’s also why I don’t like night time ones as I’m tired and I don’t remember it as much
