Action between the sheets has greater sedative properties for women than men, say researchers, adding that women are more likely to fall asleep after sex, some cuddle and pillow talk than men.
"Postcopulatory somnolence was also enhanced by orgasm in both women and men. However, with or without orgasm, women were more likely than men to report falling asleep after sex," said study authors from State University of New York at Albany in the US. "Our paper summarises growing evidence that the common designation for having sex, ‘getting laid', maps on to an evolved adaptive mechanism that functions to promote sperm retention in humans, which as a species are unique in having evolved an upright posture and bipedalism," study author Gordon G Gallup was quoted as saying in a PsyPost report.
