Men fall asleep after sex is not specifically

Men are automatically put to sleep after orgasm, as scientists have found. The male brain, it turns out, it was originally programmed.

Working commissioned by the French government scientists conducted brain scans of volunteers men during and after sex. Scans carefully recorded brain activity. It was found that the prefrontal cortex of the brain man, which is responsible for conscious thought immediately after orgasm   off. This puts the stronger sex to sleep just at a time when their partners want to continue to communicate and affection.

Two other areas - cingulate cortex and the amygdala - send signals to the rest of the brain about the need to remove all sexual desire. This is due to the release of substances, put to sleep, that is, serotonin and opioids. Thus we have obtained the first scientific proof that men are not to blame for his "selfishness" after orgasm. These made their nature.

"Once a man has an orgasm, it usually takes a particular period of time when sexual desire is completely disabled - explains the findings study leader Dr. Serge Joiner. - For women, apparently, there is no such connection. After orgasm   women want more, and men - just sleep. "

By the way, recently, scientists have found that men, on average, think about sex 19 times a day, which is about 8000 times smaller than previously thought. By the way, men think about food 18 times a day, which is almost comparable. In third place in the ranking of men's thoughts topic of sleep - 11 times a day. This refutes the popular stereotype that the stronger sex is always and everywhere only thinks about sex. Women's intimate thoughts go 10 times a day, thinking about the dream, 8, 5 times, and the thought of eating as much as 15 times.
