Perfect sexual life is an important aspect of married life, but in real life, many women complain that their sexual life is not perfect. The most common complaint is that the husband falls asleep after sex, completely ignoring the emotional and physiological needs of the wife next to him. Therefore, many women are puzzled as to why men are so "selfish" in their sexual life?
Actually, this is a misunderstanding. After sexual activity, falling asleep after falling asleep is not only a common phenomenon among individual males, but also a common phenomenon. Some scholars abroad refer to it as "post sexual syncope", which is characterized by significant fatigue in males during a short period of time after sexual activity, ranging from drowsiness to deep sleep, with varying durations and manifestations for each individual. Previously, it was believed that physical exertion during sexual activity may be the main cause of fatigue in men, but recent research has found that this viewpoint lacks accuracy. A survey on sexual activity in the United States shows that the average heart rate during sexual activity is around 120 beats per minute, and the highest heart rate in daily life can also reach around 100 beats per minute. If some minor activities (such as brisk walking, short distance cycling, etc.) are added, the heart rate can reach 120 beats per minute or higher, which means that the physical intensity of sexual activity is equivalent to some physical labor in daily life, But it's not enough to cause such fatigue. So what exactly is the reason?
Recently, foreign scholars have found that during the process of erectile dysfunction, the level of melanocortin has increased. Melanocortin is a substance secreted by brain tissue. Under normal circumstances, its peak secretion occurs before falling asleep at night, mainly regulating the body's sleep, causing drowsiness and promoting sleep. A few years ago, the United States also developed artificially synthesized sleep promoting drugs with very good effects, which explains the phenomenon mentioned earlier. During the process of erectile dysfunction, the increase in melanocortin, which should only occur during nighttime sleep, occurs prematurely. This is equivalent to men taking "sleeping pills" at the beginning of sexual activity, coupled with a certain amount of physical exertion. It is not surprising that after sexual activity, they fall asleep soundly. So, women should not attribute this to their husband's indifference.
It should be noted that precisely because the occurrence of the above phenomena is a physiological reaction, it is important to avoid engaging in highly focused work such as driving for a short period of time after sexual activity in daily life. This is because the danger of a highly sleepy person driving on the road is obvious.
