Orgasm is sometimes described as an out -of -body experience. We added that it is also a full -body experience. Think of the body parts involved: Your eyes see your partner’s smile. Your skin takes touch. Your brain sends signals through your nervous system, telling your genitals to start preparing for the main event. Blood draws you harder. Your breathing accelerates. And then, if things go as planned, you and your partner peak – sometimes together, but more often.
Given what happens to your body during orgasm, it is probably not surprising that the body can respond in a variety of ways. Such answers can be pleasant, such as the familiar pillow discussion with your partner. Or they can be painful, like getting a headache.
Sometimes people report unusual events during or after orgasm, such as illusions or temporary hearing loss. There is even a story of orgasms that start from a woman’s left foot!
Below are some of the things that can happen to you after an orgasm. Keep in mind that all orgasms can be different. And there are no two people to experience orgasm in the same way.
- Link to your partner. In orgasm, the body releases a hormone called oxytocin, which is sometimes called “love hormone”. When this happens, the partners tend to feel very close. (Touch can also activate the release of oxytocin.)
- Best sleep. Another hormone that releases the body during orgasm is prolactin, which can make you sleepy. Women can get a double benefit here – estrogen released during orgasm can be good for sleep.
- Post-Sex Blues. Have you ever felt inexplicably sad or annoyed after sex, even if it was a pleasant meeting? You may experience post-war discomfort (PCD)-“Post-Sex Blues”. This situation affects women who may feel more emotionally sensitive after connecting with their partner during intercourse. However, doctors are not sure of the exact cause.
- Sexual headaches. Some people develop severe headaches during sexual activity, especially after orgasm. In general, sex headaches are not serious, but if you get them, talk to your doctor. They can be treated with medicines.
- Postorgasmic disease syndrome (POIS). Men with pois experience flu symptoms, such as fatigue, fever and nasal congestion, for a few days after ejaculation. Pois is rare. Scientists are not sure of what they are causing, although some believe it is an allergic reaction to sperm.
- Sneezing. For some, thinking about sex activates a sneezing application. For others, it appears after orgasm. Either way, scientists don’t know why it happens. One possible explanation is a disconnection in the autonomic nervous system, which controls the functions we do not necessarily think of, such as breathing and digestion, as well as sneezing and sexual reaction.
- Seizures. Also known as orgasm, epileptic seizures after orgasm are rare, but they happen.
If you are worried about these feelings or events after orgasm, do not hesitate to discuss them with your doctor.
