it’s a known fact that men love to doze off after s*x, while the women on the other hand prefer to cuddle and get a bit more intimate with their man.
Why the difference in reaction and emotions from both genders after s*x?
There are scientific and psychological reasons why women love to cuddle after s*x
- THE LOVE HORMONE
While the prolactin hormone is released in men after s*x, oxytocin is what’s released in women that make them want to feel more intimate. The release of the prolactin triggers the man to doze off for a while, while the oxytocin is responsible for what scientists refer to as ‘pair bonding’. In evolutionary theory, a woman loves to bond in order to make the man commit to her and their offspring.
- TO ASSESS THE MAN
According to a study published in the Journal of Sex Research, women use brief affairs to assess whether a man has good prospects to be a long-term partner, and his ability to cuddle even suggests that he might be a good father.
- S*X COULD MAKE HER FEEL VULNERABLE
A woman is more likely to feel vulnerable after s*x than a man. If she suspects that you’ve only used her for sexual gratification, she might feel vulnerable, especially if she wants more from that affair. But that moment of intimacy after s*x gives her that feeling of being valued, adored and appreciated.
- IT SHOWS SIGNS OF A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP
To a man, his actions after s*x rarely means a thing to him; but it’s different with women. A woman’s psychology tilts towards the thoughts that when two people enjoy the closeness of each other’s company then the relationship is healthy.
- IT’S A SUBTLE WAY OF SAYING ‘I LOVE YOU’
To a woman, cuddling after s*x is her own way of saying ‘I love you’, and if the man also cuddles her, she receives the same message.
- WARMTH, ROMANCE AND AFFECTION
Cuddling after s*x adds that bit of magic to the s*x. To a woman it builds affection and intimacy, while also providing warmth. It’s like a three in one feeling, and this makes her geared up for the next round.
Women want to feel loved, even after s*x; that’s the sole reason they cuddle.
