Crying After An Orgasm
Why do I sometimes cry after having an orgasm?
-
Kate
Hi
Kate,
The
sexual response cycle works like this:
1)
A woman feels a slight interest in having a sexual experience
and feels a
"vague stirring" phase.
2)
She may become aroused and feel actual desire for sexual expression.
3)
She
will experience excitement, during which many physiological
changes
occur, followed by heightened arousal
at the plateau phase.
4)
Then comes her orgasm, at which point she releases all the
pent-up energy
and blood engorgement that has accumulated.
5)
She finds a resolution and sense of fulfillment.
All
along these phases are indicators, such as change in color,
increased breathing, swelling of genital tissue and hardness
and wetness of the male and female sex organs. Throughout
this process of arousal through to the "pop" of orgasm, energy
is amassing and must be discharged. That energy may take the
form of whatever the body is capable of releasing so that
it may show up as crying.
Know
that this is a perfectly wonderful means for letting out both
feelings and energy. Crying, for you, may be your body's way
of telling you it has completed a dance, or an intense journey,
through sex. Be sure that you have thoroughly checked inside
to make sure that these tears are of joy, not sadness or something
else that may stem from a past wound around relationships,
sex or your body image. Then go forth in delight that you
can enjoy so much emotional juice. It's terrific that you
can feel, express and know that you are truly alive.
