Does sex make anyone else kinda sad?

Yes. 2/5 times I usually end up crying afterwards. Never understood why besides it causes a flood of emotions to surface. The next day I feel so refreshed 😂. Crying out session is refreshing to me and helps relieve a ton of stress
Hi it’s usually the complex emotions it can stir up. Vulnerability. I believe it boils down to unmet emotional needs. Sounds like from your childhood. It doesn’t have to involve SA at all. Hope this helps. Msg me if you like. Not that I’m an expert! X
@Sarah I usually don’t want to be touched lol. After a shower we talk in bed that’s about the closest thing to affection afterwards. I’m unsure if I ever O that way, tbh unless that’s how it feels for me, vulnerable and bad. Thanks for the comment.
Yesss I used to feel this every time. I’d fake my mood after sex so that I didn’t make the guy feel weird. No history of SA either.. I thought it was normal to feel sad/mad at myself/isolated. But then I met my current partner and I don’t feel like that anymore. He’s so validating and affectionate and a great communicator and I genuinely feel safe with him. I feel lucky and also sexy after sex now. The only time I had those feelings back was when we were going through a tough week and feeling distant from each other and we tried to use sex to reconnect but it just felt even more disconnected. It sucked and I was honest about how I felt and he was honest about how he felt too. Connection is everything. We agreed to not have sex in that mindset again and we found other ways to bring that connection back
might be a weird question, but do you feel this way after an orgasm or no matter what? I used to feel some type of way when I'd have sex but no orgasm. do you and your partner cuddle or share affection afterwards?
