Default Guys: do you get tired after sex?

I have always heard that men usually get tired after sex. I have not had that experience, I usually feel wide awake and I almost always get hungry. My wife laments this because if it's night time, she wants to go to sleep and I'll usually get up and mill about.

Is my experience not typical?

I get wired after sex and want to do things, watch tv, play a game, etc as well.

I thought I was normal. About 5 minutes after popping my eyelids feel like they weigh 100 lbs.

Actually i find it to be a great cure of insomnia.

My husband always uses this expresssion "I feel Refreshed" and the hunger comments are common. For both of us. I am never tired after sex, he is generally more tired than me most of the time, but no more EXTRA tired after sex.

Me? No. I want a 15 minute rest and to have another go at it!

I don't necessarily feel tired, but during that refractory period after ejaculation I can fall asleep easily. But if I have to get up immediately, no problem with that either.

So if men don't get tired, why do they turn away and fall asleep by the time you're back form the bathroom? and no it's not because we've been there for too long

I've always felt invigorated after sex. Hungry, too! I thought I was wierd this way, but I recently talked to another guy about it, and he's the same. So, I guess with men, it can go either way. All I know is that, after a good romp, I feel like I can take on the whole damn world!

After we are done we take a shower together. It's a way to continue the bonding and take care of hygiene at the same time. It's also fun, and can lead to more sex sometimes.

My H is wide awake after sex many times, so he does not like to have sex at night when he needs to get to sleep. OTOH, yesterday morning, he took a nap after.

You know what they say -

"After 40, the nap after sex becomes just as important as the sex itself"



(yes, i get sleepy after sex as a guy; I am satisfied)

A shower before, a shower after! You do have a lot of energy!!!

I just wipe myself clean and go to sleep!
