Sex

Sex! There I caught you pervert! Sex is all I need for a conversation topic to get your attention. You’re too easy!

Well, this topic really is about sex. I was wondering…why do you lose the ability to focus after an orgasm? I have found that if I was reading a book before sex I would be able to focus on it fine, cancel out all other extraneous sounds, but after I climax, I lose this ability - all the smallest sounds sort of cave in on me. The ticking of the clock, which I never payed attention to before, begins to irritate me after I have picked up the book once again. Anyone know why this is?

For me it’s the opposite. I can’t focus until I get a nut. Sometimes I have to write big papers, and if I don’t service myself first, I’ll never get them done.

that’s probably because you’re yankin it too much. if ya yank it consistently, then sex is gonna be on your mind all the time, so that you have to yank it in order to get it off your mind. but if you do it every once in awhile, it will prove to cause you the inability to focus just as well. at least for me. this is why yogis and brahmins promote chastity - it helps to focus the mind.

The achievement of the orgasm causes a dump of dopamine into the brain, and if done in contact with a female, also oxytocin, (the “bonding” peptide).

Dependent upon age, demeanor (speaking biochemically) and other health factors, individual males with find variant attention outcomes.

Myself, it takes relatively two hours after a climax to regain focus, but I have always been a sucker for a good dopamine buzz.
