WHY MAKE NOISE DURING SEX.
Have you ever woken up the morning after some mind-blowing sex and think: “Why did I tell him all that stuff while we were cuddling last night?” Apparently, you’re not unique. Recent research shows that women who had an orgasm disclosed more of their positive thoughts and feelingabout their partner afterward than those who didn’t climax—and they don’t feel as if they’re taking a risk by doing that. Blame it on your brain chemicals making you feel trusting.According to experts, an orgasm triggers the release of oxytocin, the feel-good neuro- chemical that also makes spooning (lying front to back with your partners) feet amazing. “People get loose-lipped after an orgasm because the oxytocin makes them think it’s the right time to say gooey things,” explains author Amanda Denes. “In serious relationships, a little sappy gab might not be a bad thing,but in casual situations, it’s sort of a mixed bag. Professing your love to someone you’ve been seeingfor a few weeks could scare him away, but it could also help take things to the next level. So when in doubt, err on the side of taciturnity and see if you still feet like spilling in the morning.”Deep down, we’re all animals in bed. After all, sex is an extremely primal act, and when we use our verbal human brains to talk about it—it’s clear that the tongue and the groin are linked (in a much less graphic way that you readers are picturing right now!) “Language communicates not only information but also meaning, feelings and symbols of internal realities,”says Amanda Denes. “We can use it to make sex better in a mechanical, instructionalsense, but it also makes the act more meaningful.” In fact, a few choice words can set off the arousal response as swiftly as a sensual touch —especially in women who are more turned on by ideas than by visuals. But an off-colour or way-too-raunchy phrase from a man in your bed can turn you off just as quickly.
