Most men who have had a few partners have probably noticed that many of them have one thing in common: they have wanted to cuddle after sex. While it’s not true that all women want to cuddle, it does seem to be that the vast majority of women enjoy cuddling with their man after a good romp in the bedroom, even if they’re not in a relationship together.

But what is the source of this? Why does it seem like such a big deal to so many woman? Read to find out why so many women want to cuddle after sex.

It starts with hormones

After a woman has an orgasm, certain chemicals in her brain are released, including dopamine, oxytocin and vasopressin. All of these chemicals work together to produce a happy high for a woman, and they can heavily influence the way a woman feels.

When a woman becomes sexually aroused, her body releases oxytocin, better known as the “cuddle” hormone.Her feelings after feel more intense and she’ll probably feel more relaxed. Some women feel a stronger connection to their partner after oxytocin is released, which is usually caused by these more intense feelings.

When a woman has an orgasm, dopamine is released, giving her those feelings of elation, excitement and pleasure. The presence of these two chemicals can sometimes make women feel more attached to her partner or perhaps she’ll associate feelings of pleasure with you more often.

Interestingly, men are also susceptible to these two hormones as they are both released in men’s bodies as well. The difference often lies in the amount of testosterone in men’s bodies. It’s usually much higher than in women’s bodies. It might be that women with higher levels of testosterone are less likely to want to cuddle, but women with lower amount tend to want to cuddle.

Exhaustion and recharging

Time to talk
