Why men fall asleep after having sex
Heres some news from the world of science that could settle some old disputes in the battleground of the marital boudoir. Throughout history, unsatisfied wives and girlfriends have wondered why their otherwise-perfect male partners roll over and fall straight to sleep after sex instead of engaging in endless chit-chat. A team of researchers from Inserm in France believe they have the answer: it seems that men just cant help it. Brain scans showed that after orgasm, the thinking area of mens brains actually shuts down. Other parts then send a message out that the job is done, to let the body know that its interest in sex is no longer required. Then, (just in case even further explanation is needed), the brain is hit with surges of oxytocin and serotonin, natures own shut up and go to sleep chemicals, rendering dudes all but powerless against the urge to crash
In truth, we do it because we don't want to talk afterwards
