What posture should a man adopt when he is tired?

Although, we all know that sex is a physical activity. But as women, you will find that after sexual intercourse, men often appear to be in a very tired state, and may even fall asleep directly after the act. At this time, women often need more caressing. If a man is soundly asleep, they will directly judge that he does not love them and is just having sex for the sake of sex. But in fact, men get tired very easily after sexual intercourse. What is going on? Let’s take a look.

For a complete sexual intercourse, it includes foreplay, climax, afterplay, and of course recovery after sex. These should not be underestimated. Only then can it be considered a complete, healthy, and happy sexual intercourse.

However, among many healthy middle-aged men, many of them feel very tired after sexual intercourse. What is going on? What is the reason that causes them to feel tired after sexual intercourse? Generally speaking, the reasons that bother them mainly include the following three aspects:

First, some underlying diseases may cause fatigue after sexual intercourse, such as anemia, mild heart disease, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, thyroid disease, diabetes, etc.

Secondly, if sex is too intense or lasts too long, men who work at a desk for long periods of time may experience persistent fatigue due to excessive physical exertion.

Finally, the strong psychological conflicts caused by sexual activities often affect a person's sexual feelings. Be open to expressing your sexual feelings to your husband. It can be said that some couples have a bad relationship or the wife often accuses the husband of having too frequent sexual demands, which makes men anxious and guilty about sexual activities, which is reflected in the body, such as fatigue and discomfort after sexual intercourse. This fatigue may just be an excuse to avoid interpersonal conflicts with his wife. Resolving inner conflicts and interpersonal conflicts is an important measure to effectively eliminate fatigue.

Similarly, whether a woman is satisfied during sex can be seen from her expression. A recent survey by the Women's Health Association of Taiwan (WHAT) found that when women enjoy pleasure during sex, they usually share their satisfaction with their partners through verbal affection and facial expressions; conversely, if they feel lost, their expressions will betray them even if they don't say anything.

Generally speaking, fatigue after sex can be relieved after rest. But some men say their fatigue often lasts for up to a week. You feel groggy and tired all day long, as if you have a serious illness, but no physical illness can be found. What is the reason? As early as the Fourth World Symposium on Male Aging held in 2004, experts discussed an issue called "male asthenia syndrome", which is closely related to the phenomenon of persistent fatigue in men after sexual intercourse.

Unlike today, the asthenia syndrome in the past was characterized by five major health problems in men, namely unsteady walking, decreased physical activity or inactivity, intellectual decline, and urinary incontinence. Scientists now rank it alongside muscle weakness, osteoporosis, ED (erectile dysfunction) and decreased cognitive ability as one of the recognized characteristics of aging. In addition, decreased work endurance, poor sleep quality, frequent hot flashes and night sweats are also common clinical manifestations.

Therefore, men need to pay attention to the fatigue after sex. If it is just a short-term fatigue that will be relieved after rest, there is no need to worry too much. However, for men who cannot recover quickly after an ejaculation, after ruling out potential medical problems, the most critical recovery measure is relaxation. Don't do anything after ejaculation. Take 10 minutes to let your body relax naturally, don't think about anything else, so that the sympathetic nerves can gradually relax and the parasympathetic nerves can become active again. If you focus your mind on your penis and always think "Has it not recovered yet?" this will make you more nervous and your recovery will be slower. If your physical strength allows, you can get out of bed and do some simple activities or take a shower after sex. Showering can improve local and systemic blood circulation, and use fresh stimulation and natural mood changes to promote the elimination of fatigue. For those who feel persistently tired, the most important thing is to overcome problems such as obesity and weakness through exercise, undergo hormone replacement therapy when necessary, and address problems such as arteriosclerosis.
