Sex toy experts Bedbible have researched to find out what happens mentally and physically up to an hour after an orgasm.
They found that there is more going on internally than we notice, with our body still feeling the effects up to 60 minutes later. From the moment of orgasm, all kinds of chemical, physiological and psychological effects take place.
The main findings were:
- 0 minutes after: After achieving an orgasm, the brain is hit with a powerful wave of dopamine, creating a high similar to the euphoria of taking heroin.
- Ten minutes after: For some, ‘post-sex blues’ can take effect relatively quickly after orgasm, with sudden feelings of depression and agitation created as a result of the dopamine levels dropping.
- Thirty minutes after: Blood pressure and heart rate should return to normal, and muscles in the penis or vagina might begin to cramp due to the muscles contracting at an intense rate.
- Forty minutes after: Sleepiness is common 40 minutes after, this is due to both the exercise undergone to achieve orgasm and the mental exhaustion that comes with the rise and fall of dopamine levels.
- Sixty minutes after: Whilst it differs from man to man, some men will take longer than an hour to recover post-orgasm, this is known as the refractory period. Women, however, tend to recover at a faster rate.
