BEWARE: People Who Are Sexually Active Life Must Be Aware Of This Silent Killer
No matter how exhilarating the romp, you still want to conk out as soon as you roll over. There are about as many theories for why this occurs as there are positions that get you to that state.
One of the most recent explanations comes from researchers in the Netherlands who study men’s brain activity in a PET scan before, during, and after orgasm.
What they’ve found: During orgasm, there’s a tremendous shift in blood flow throughout the brain. About 70 percent of the left side, which is involved in decision-making, is devoid of blood flow when you climax.
“With less blood flow, you can’t activate as many neurons and this can make you feel sleepy,” says Irwin Goldstein, M.D., director of sexual medicine at The Institute for Sexual Medicine in San Diego.
