Science Excuses Men

Why men fall asleep after sex

The gentle buzz of snoring is among the most annoying sounds known to woman. Especially when it happens shortly after a passionate encounter.
Ah! Such nice words!
...men aren't entirely to blame...there are scientific reasons why men feel tired after sex.
And the science?
'The blood rush after climax depletes the muscles of energy-producing glycogen, leaving men feeling physically drained.
'Because they have more muscle mass than women, men become tired after sex and this subsequently leads to them feeling sleepy.'
And now stats...
80% of men said they felt more relaxed and were able to drift off without any problems after making love, compared with 46% of women.
Ok. That's 54% of women that have bad lovers because men if you are doing your job right that number would be higher! Where should women have sex?
Men in Birmingham managed on average to stay awake for just three to four minutes. In Glasgow and Liverpool, men claimed to take up to 20 minutes before falling asleep.
Now for the advise the article offers to stay awake...
'Try I Feel Good by James Brown, Elvis Presley's A Little Less Conversation or Britney Spears's Toxic.'...videotape their lovemaking sessions - so they have something to watch afterwards...
And finally, a somewhat comforting statistic for half the male population...
48 per cent of men had actually fallen asleep during the act itself. A mere 11 per cent of women admitted being guilty of this.
