Do You Cry After Pleasure? Here's Why You Get Tears Of Joy

Team MyMuse - Jul 25, 2024

It might feel a bit odd, but those post-pleasure tears are actually quite normal. Let's dive into the fascinating science behind those tears of joy and pleasure.


Have you ever had such a mind-blowingly good, sexy time with your partner that you found yourself crying afterward? You’re not alone! It might feel a bit odd, but those post-pleasure tears are actually quite normal. Let's dive into the fascinating science behind those tears of joy and pleasure.

Hormonal Rollercoaster

When you're riding the love train after using bedroom essentials with your boo, your body is flooded with a cocktail of hormones—oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins, oh my! This chemical cocktail can sometimes cause an emotional overload.

Oxytocin: Often dubbed the "cuddle hormone," oxytocin is released during those intimate moments, making you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Oxytocin promotes feelings of bonding and closeness, which is why you might feel so connected to your partner after a steamy session.

Dopamine: This little beauty is your brain's feel-good neurotransmitter. When you experience pleasure, your brain releases dopamine, giving you that euphoric high.

Endorphins: These natural painkillers are also released during pleasure, helping you feel relaxed and blissful. Endorphins are part of the reason why you might feel a little floaty after an especially good romp.

Emotional Overload

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. All these hormones flooding your system can lead to an emotional overload. It's like your brain is throwing a surprise party, and all the guests (hormones) showed up at once. The result? Sometimes, those overwhelming feelings come out as tears.

Right in the Feels

Once the snuggle-fest is over for couples in hotel rooms, the sudden drop in oxytocin levels can leave you feeling a bit blue. Think of it as the emotional equivalent of a sugar crash after eating too much candy. Your body just experienced a peak of closeness and bonding, and the drop-off can trigger those tears.

Stress Relief

Getting down and dirty with some lubricant gel is a fantastic way to blow off some steam. When you finally reach the finish line, all that built-up stress and tension can come rushing out in the form of tears. These tears are your body's way of letting go of stress and finding a sense of relief.

The Joy of It All

And then there's the simplest explanation of all—sometimes, you're just so incredibly happy about using Pulse full body massager on your partner, that you can't help but cry. Tears of joy are a real thing, and they can happen after a particularly amazing moment of connection. It's like your heart is so full that it overflows into tears.

How to Handle Those Happy Tears

We can't pop into your bedroom to give you a hug during a good cry (as much as we'd love to), but we've got some tips to help you handle it like a pro:

  • Embrace the Emotions: Don’t fight those tears. Embrace them! It's a sign that you’ve experienced something deeply meaningful and beautiful.
  • Communicate with Your Partner: Let your partner know what's going on. Chances are, they'll understand and be there to support you.
  • Practice Self-Care: After the emotional wave, take some time for yourself. A warm bath, a cozy blanket, and some soothing music can do wonders.
  • Reflect on the Experience: Think about what brought on those tears. Sometimes, understanding the emotions behind them can help you process them better.

So, the next time you find yourself shedding a tear after a sexy session, remember that it's completely normal. Your body is just expressing the incredible joy, relief, and connection you've experienced. Let those tears flow, and embrace the beauty of the moment!
