Why do some people cry after sex and is it normal

Tears after sex are not such a rare phenomenon. At the same time, not only the weaker sex can cry, but also quite courageous guys. Previously, it was believed that such tears caused a surge of positive emotions. But today scientists know much more about this phenomenon, and advise not to rush to unequivocal conclusions.

There may be several reasons for women and men to cry after orgasm. And such a reaction is not always associated with tenderness or delight from sex. Rarely tears are caused by a situation when a partner is so bad in bed that he can only be "hugged and cry". In most cases, they cry after sex because of psychological problems or even because of a serious illness.

Psychologists say that it is possible to shed a tear after the final because of problems in relationships. For example, a couple quarreled, and sex became a symbol of reconciliation. But after orgasm, one of the partners suddenly realizes that the conflict has only subsided for a while, since its cause has not been eliminated. It is hardly possible to call tears for this reason a positive phenomenon.

Some may burst into tears completely involuntarily. In this case, the release of hormones is to blame. This behavior is typical of women, but sometimes men can cry too. Such tears do not signal something disturbing or bad - it's just a way to bring the psyche into a balanced state.

It is much worse when crying after sex is caused by postcoital dysphoria (PCD). This mental disorder has long been considered purely feminine, but now it is also described in male representatives. This syndrome is expressed in a feeling of anxiety, depressed mood, tearfulness after intimacy. At the same time, it does not matter how good the sex was and what impression the partner made.

If you suffer from PCD, then in no case should you be ashamed of it. Moreover, you do not need to try to break yourself, because this can only aggravate the condition. You should immediately talk to your partner and explain the situation to him. A psychologist will help to get rid of this unpleasant phenomenon, since science has studied this violation well. Usually PKD is the result of resentment or abuse experienced earlier.  Also, such a failure occurs after the birth of a child due to a change in the hormonal background.

But these people who have captured themselves immediately after sex are not going to cry at all. Paired selfies after sex are a trend on Instagram that not everyone approves of.
