Crying During and After Sex: Is It Normal?
Yes, sometimes I cry during sex. And no, I’m not sad or crazy.
Sex stirs our emotions in ways we can’t always explain.
You know that moment when tears suddenly start falling? Well, you’re not alone. Between 20% and 40% of people have experienced this, and I’m going to talk about it without filters or taboos.
Crying during or after sex doesn’t mean something’s wrong. In fact, it might mean everything’s exactly right — so right that your brain doesn’t quite know how to handle the intensity.
It’s like eating the best chocolate of your life and nearly crying from pleasure — only multiplied by a thousand.
Scientifically (yes, I’m going to nerd out for a moment), it’s called “post-coital tristesse” (PCT). Your brain literally throws a chemical party during orgasm. Picture this: oxytocin (that famous love hormone) spikes, dopamine floods your system, and suddenly you’ve got an emotional cocktail that would make any professional bartender jealous.
