Some of the amounts I've eaten afterwards are ridiculous

The older you have got have you found the same?

I need sex or a bit of self help in order to sleep much of the time. If I'm having a hard time getting to sleep, wringing one off often does the trick.

I'm 50 and usually sleep about 6 hours a night.

That's why I was always so tired when I was married. At least now I can take care of myself if I'm not getting sex. My ex never would have tolerated that you know. Sometimes it was pretty tough to sneek one in if I needed it.

It depends. Sometimes I'm ready to go out and do stuff. But if it's at night, yeah I'm going to sleep.

Are you doing it when your tired, or been awake for a long peroid of time?

If we have sex later in the day/evening, getting some sleep after is nice. However, if we go in the morning after waking up, it really wakes me up for the day too.

Point is, I am not universally in need of sleep after. Depends on my overall energy level.

Im 26 and I get tired after sex, but its always at night. In the morning its like cocaine, i get really energized and I wanna be extra productive

Haven't women been commenting on this since the beginning of time?
"He always falls asleep after being intimate." While some women are totally energized and ready to do something other than nap.

I think the OP described a typical situation. Sex takes work, it burns calories, and uses energy. And unless the guy is in high school, or a triathlon, chances are he will need to recharge his batteries with a nap.

If you're old at 34, then I must be ancient at 37....Come on now!!! Go exercise or something

I'm reminded of an old Richard Pryor joke:

"I do about three minutes of serious f***in', then I need eight hours of sleep...and a bowl of Wheaties!”
