The science behind orgasms
During orgasm, the brain produces chemicals such as oxytocin and prolactin to increase blood flow to the genitals, intensifying the sensation of pleasure. When tension in the lower body increases, a series of violent muscular contractions occurs, resulting in an orgasm.
Why do some people cry during orgasms?
It’s normal to feel down after having sex. In a 2020 study of 223 women and 76 men, nearly 92% reported having an emotional reaction four weeks after having sex. Men felt depleted and unhappy, whereas women were more prone to mood swings and depression.
Oxytocin can contribute to crying after sex in people who have had traumatic or sad experiences in the past. Even if you’re in a healthy relationship, you may cry during sex because of repressed emotions from the past brought to the surface by the vulnerability of sex and intimacy.
Crying after an orgasm may be beneficial. If you haven’t had an orgasm in a while, you may feel a release of pent-up emotional stress. In addition, your sympathetic nervous system may be calming down as a result of the intense physical experience.
Postcoital dysphoria, feelings of shame and guilt, cramps and pain from endometritis, vaginal infection, and ovarian cysts are all reasons why people cry after sex. If sex causes physical pain, you should consult a doctor.
