So yeah, handy tip.
It's quite common.
I've been asked this a lot.
There is an official term called post-coital dysphoria.
But really, when we think of sex, sex is very intimate.
It's very vulnerable.
Especially if you've had an orgasm, there can be a sense of release.
And our bodies are emotional.
You know, our emotions aren't just in our mind, they're in our bodies as well.
So sometimes after sex or after an orgasm, you could feel really emotional.
You could get teary.
That's not necessarily a bad thing unless it bothers you or unless you're actually getting distressed afterwards.
So if someone, that could be a trauma response in someone, if it's kind of specifically triggering something.
But if you've just like, I've just had great sex and now I feel a bit emotional, that's kind of okay.
That could be a lot of things.
It could be a lot of things.
I would say again, like I'm always going to say, if it's something that's worrying you and there's a real kind of
real lack of sensation across the board that you're struggling with, I would again get that checked out.
A pelvic floor physio is a great place to start.
But generally speaking, I'm kind of doing a bit of assuming here, right?
