How Does Sex Affect Your Emotions?
3
First things first Sex means different things to
divergent people

• Sex can be the eventual expression of romantic
  love and intimacy or an emotional roller coaster
  or a stress reliever or its all about conception
  or its simply a good time. It can be all of
  these things and further. Sex means divergent
  things to divergent people. And whatever it means
  to you isnt important constant, either.
• It can mean different things at different points
  in your existence or even from one day to the
  next and this is totally normal.

Despite the stereotypes, your gender has nothing
to do with your emotional response to sex

• Women are at the grace of their roller-coaster
  emotions men are powerfully in the handle of the
  few emotions they have. At least thats what
  popular wisdom wouldve once had us believe.
• These ideas have deep tuber, but humans are much
  more compound than that. There have been some
  studies trusted root to recommend that women are
  more expressive about their feelings, at least in
  the United States and some Western European
  countries.
• They also recommend men have the same or greater
  physiological reacts to emotional stressors.
  These days, people are less disposed to conform
  to simple gender categorizations. Whatever your
  gender and whether you openly convey it or not,
  your emotional reacts to sex is uniquely yours.

Some people require emotional attraction to
experience physical attraction

• Do you need to feel some quantity of emotional
  attraction before any thought of sex invades your
  mind? If that sounds like you, youre surely not
  alone. Maybe you need to link on a spiritual
  level. Maybe its their mind or the truth that
  you share some basic philosophies of life.
  Possibly you felt that first twinge of excitement
  when they made you laugh til you cried.
• Youre seeking closeness. Once your feelings are
  in the area and youve made an emotional bond,
  you may start to feel physical arousal. Outside
  of that area, youre just not into sex. Youre
  into making love.

Others find that acting on physical attraction
can lead to emotional attraction

• Some people are physically worn together like
  magnets. Theres a chemical reaction, a hunger, a
  purely physical craving for getting physical with
  another human. Its desire. When the chemistry
  between people is just correct, getting fleshly
  can grow into so much more.
• A 2012 retrospective review got two areas of the
  brain that track the progression from the sexual
  wish to love. One is inflexible. Its detected in
  the cerebral cortex.

• This is another striatum. Its detected inside
  the forebrain. Interestingly, the striatum is
  also linked with drug addiction. Love and sexual
  wish activate different parts of the striatum.
  Sex and food are between the pleasurable things
  that activate the desired part. The process of
  the situation of reward and value activates the
  love part.
• As feelings of desire start to turn into love,
  another area of the striatum takes over.

Others may find that emotional and physical
attraction work in two entirely different vacuums

• People are complex creatures with many layers.
  For some of us, there is a clear dividing bar
  between emotional attraction and physical
  attraction. They dont need to come together.
• You might be affectionate attracted to someone
  without having the slightest sexual desire. Or
  you have a mind-blowing physical allure for
  someone who doesnt really do it for you
  emotionally.
• Even in long-time relationships, people can
  alternate between making love and having sex or
  forgoing sexual activity solely and thats fine.

• Regardless of your individual outlook, sex and
  emotion affect the same pathways in the brain
• A 2018 study recommends an integral connection
  between sexual, emotional, and generative brain
  processes having to do with the endocrine system
  and, in particular, a hormone called kisspeptin.
• As reported to a Tufts University neuroscience
  blog, sexual arousal doesnt occur in a vacuum,
  but in a context. It includes cognitive,
  physiological, and neurological processes, all of
  which involve and are clout by emotion.

10
Whats more, most people experience similar
emotions during sexual activity and release

• The rush of hormones includes in sex means that
  hold feelings are fairly common during or
  immediately following sex. Nobody feels every
  emotion every time, of course.
• Among the more positive ones are
• Euphoria
• Total release
• Relaxation and calm
• Satisfaction

11

• Based on the circumstances, you might have some
  less than positive emotions, such as
• Vulnerability
• Embarrassment
• Guilt
• Feeling physically or emotionally overwhelmed
• If you have postcoital dysphoria, you might even
  feel sad, anxious, or tearful just after sex.

12
Its also worth noting that sexual arousal can
turn off parts of the prefrontal cortex

• We dont always accept it when its occurring to
  us, but its clear in hindsight. Its not the
  material of science fiction or fantasy. Its very
  actual. Sexual arousal can deactivate parts of
  the brain that help you think reproving and
  behave like a rational human being. Yes, you
  actually take leave of your feelings.
• When you snap back to actuality, you might
  wonder, with a tint of regret or embarrassment,
  what you were sensible.
