Ever wondered why most guys lose interest after s*xual intercourse?

Ever wondered why most guys lose interest after s*xual intercourse?

Studies suggest 50-70% of men distance themselves after they get intimate.

The reason will shock you.

Here's why;

In my 1st year of college, I was put into the same room with a very unique set of people.

I was fresh from secondary school, so I was extremely shocked at the amount of knowledge I knew nothing about.

These boys were the cliche 'bad guys' my teachers would always emphasise we'd meet when we get to university.

We were five (5) in our room, and I was the 'weird guy'.

I didn't know any of their slang, trends or even dressing styles.

We just didn't share the same values.

But what amused me was how regularly they always talked about girls.

They'd talk about their dating stories both on and off campus.

One thing was clear.

Anytime they'd see a girl, only one thing was on their mind.

Approach her, date her, do whatever they like and leave her.

The classic 'playboy' complex.

It became a system for them.

And they seemed to be fine with it, even though so many hearts were broken along the way.

But women aren't like this.

At least studies show that most girls get even more attracted to guys after intercourse.

So why is this the case?

Why do men lose interest after intimacy and girls do not?

Why do wives get cheated on, but yet they stick with their husbands regardless?

I did some digging and discovered something fascinating about our brains.

You see men and women are built differently.

The way certain chemicals are released differs at varying periods in our lives.

For Instance, when a woman falls in love, her Oxytocin levels increase.

See it more like a bonding or attachment hormone (the same thing released when she's breastfeeding her child).

Studies have indicated that women's oxytocin level skyrocket after sexual intercourse.

Meaning they fall much more deeply in love afterwards.

We guys on the other hand function differently.

When we see a fine girl for the first time, our testosterone levels increase (more associated with physical attraction).

But testosterone blocks the release of oxytocin.

Meaning anything we ever feel for a girl at first is purely due to her physical appearance.

But our body still tries to release something that can replace oxytocin.

That's vasopressin (it's like a brother to oxytocin).

But something weird happens.

Men's vasopressin levels increase enormously at peak sexual stimulation.

But takes a huge deep after sex.

It means the level of attraction we had falls to a considerably low level afterwards.

Does this mean men don't fall in love?

Of course not.

Here's what studies have uncovered.

Research has shown;

That men in serious relationships or marriage have relatively lower testosterone than single men.

Remember when I said testosterone blocks oxytocin secretion?

This further indicates that guys primarily fall in love when there's a level of commitment.

Sex isn't enough.

Maybe there's a girl you're obsesses with in your class or work place.

It's possible you've envisioned yourself with her in the long term.

The more you actively commit, the more you fall for her.
