    Men VS. Women's Aftermath Affect

    So I'm curious as to of why that after sex, my boyfriend is bounding with energy and feels like; "too much energy, I have to do something". And with me; I'm tired, worn out and usually end up taking a nap afterwards, or if it's before bed I'll just conk out for the rest of the night.

    Is this something that is different with every person? Or is it common for males and females to be so opposite?

    It's not a male vs female thing. It is a amount of hormones released type of thing. Your release makes you sleepy. His makes him energized.

      You try making him do it again, that should take some of the wind out of his sails.

      I'm the opposite, very few things beat falling asleep in your lovers arms in a post coital cuddle.
