My partner and I have been together for almost 2 years and we have amazing sex. Only recently though, we have been feeling really stoned afterward where we have been laughing hysterically and slurring our speech. Now, we both have heard that its the endorphin rush you get but this is insane. It's happened a few times in the last 2 weeks and it just started. So, my question is...why now and is it normal?
No, it is not normal to feel stoned, and to have hysterical laughter and slurred speech after sex unless you were on drugs. Have the two of you been taking anything unusual, such as magic mushroom, in the last 2 weeks? If you did rough sex, the hysterical laughter and slurred speech might have been due to oxygen deprivation.
We're both totally 100% drug free! Alcohol wasn't even consumed during these times. Each time this has happened, the sex wasn't rough at all just really good and it was automatically followed by these feelings of being stoned!
either you guys are having really good sex or i'd start checking for a gas leak
I agree. Natural gas leak can thin the oxygen in the air resulting in hypoxia. Carbon monoxide gas leak is even more dangerous, as the carbon monoxide can bind with the hemoglobin in the blood making it unavailable to carry oxygen to the organs and tissues where it is needed. Open all your windows wide, and call a technician as soon as possible.
OK, considering that I am now somewhat concerned about this, I will get it checked BUT each time that it happened, we were never in the same place. My house, partners house and then at a B&B.
Hi KinkyFoo, have you gotten this checked out by a doctor yet? I wonder if it is related to hypoxia like hoseclamps is saying, because it could also be that it is just an endorphin rush. What's the status of your health and your partner's health? Do you both exercise frequently and do you eat a good diet? It might help to know all of this so that we can determine what the actual cause of this problem is. Please keep us posted on whatever this turns out to be!
Both my partner and I are healthy and in good shape. We have had sex a few times since my last post and it happened again. Laughing like crazy followed by the munchies...exactly as if we had gotten high. This feeling will last for almost an hour then we're fine as if nothing happened. We don't get it.
Well seeing as how you're not doing drugs or anything like that but you're having these incredible experiences, I don't know if there's really anything to worry about other than having incredible sex. If you really are concerned, you can see a doctor because it might be something serious, but I don't see much that's wrong. Let me know how you're doing, okay?
well after reading the additional posts i guess you guys are probably just lucky though this is rather strange. my girlfriend does tend to get hungry after sex though...
You aren't the only one. When KinkyFoo was talking about how she and her partner got the munchies, I thought that was just her being cute. I'm always starving after sex! I am sure that I'm not the only one out there who is either, because I know that sex can burn quite a few calories and it's a very strenuous activity. Are you sure that you don't also get hungry oz? :)
pretty rarely. i go into cuddle mode XD
Ha, and your girlfriend's the one who wants to get up and go eat? I always crack up hearing about how couples fall into their dynamic because no one is ever quite as you'd expect them to be. For example, I have a friend whose girlfriend is very small and feminine and he's this big bulldog of a guy but she's the one who always runs the show while he takes the backseat. I do know what you mean by cuddle mode but I usually either fall asleep or go eat a whole pizza.
