It”s no surprise that healthy and fun activities like sex make you feel happy and calm. Not only your body, but also your mind remembers pleasant memories of love affairs.
Conducting an experiment
A study published in the scientific journal Psychological Science found that the “glow” (optimism and joy after lovemaking) comes from the happiness experienced by the “love hormone” oxytocin.
This makes sense. After all, both sports and sex produce this hormone. After physical activity, a person feels sweaty, tired, drowsy, but there is also a distinct feeling of satisfaction and happiness. Similar symptoms and consequences.
The study consisted of two stages, at each of which 100 newlywed couples were interviewed. They had to fill out a diary. They described how many times they had sex and how their relationship developed over the following days.
Results obtained
Not surprisingly, couples reported increased sexual satisfaction during sex and beyond. More importantly, it has been found that they perceive intimacy and happiness as the highest feelings these days. The pleasant aftertaste from lovemaking lasted for two more days. In addition, scientists have found that during the post-six phase, sperm quality in men deteriorates. Only on the third day does she begin to recover.

Sexual abstinence is not the most popular topic in the 21st century. And the latest research was not in vain, as it was suggested that the loss.
Justification of the results through the prism of evolution
There is a scientific explanation for this phenomenon from an evolutionary point of view. The 48-hour recovery and the two-day decline in sperm quality are correlated and are believed to act as an evolutionary balance. It is designed to keep couples together for at least two days after ejaculation. This is because sperm can survive in the female genital organs for up to two days. This means that if in the first two days after sex the possibility of conceiving a child is not so great, then after this period this possibility increases significantly.

Additionally, the researchers had couples reassess their relationship after four to six months and found that those who experienced greater satisfaction after sex were more satisfied with their relationship a few months later. In other words, the better the sex, the better the relationship. But that”s not so surprising, is it?
Expert opinion
Our study shows that sexual satisfaction remains elevated 48 hours after sex,” said lead study author Dr. Andrea Meltzer. This process lasts approximately the same amount of time as it takes to restore peak sperm concentration.
“And those with stronger sexual aftereffects—that is, those who report higher levels of sexual satisfaction 48 hours after sex—report higher levels of relationship satisfaction months later.”
Finally, let”s summarize the entire study with one simple statement. Within two days after sex, people feel more sexually satisfied. This happens because they subconsciously want to boast that their woman has high-quality sperm. End.
