Co-authors Mark Leyner and Dr. Billy Goldberg give answers to
questions ranging from the bizarre to the slightly embarrassing in
"Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex," their follow-up book to their
No. 1 New York Times bestseller, "Why Do Men Have Nipples?"
From questions about dogs' belly buttons to knocking down old
wives' tales no question is too weird for this duo.
The authors answer a few of those important medical questions
below.
"Why Do Man Fall Asleep After Sex" is available in bookstores
now.

Question: So you put it out there and we've got to ask:
Why do men fall asleep after sex?
Leyner: People have no
idea how much work it is for a man to produce an ejaculation. You
have this seminal vesicle churning out this fluid, the prostate
gland producing an alkaline solution. It's like having five iron
chefs in your crotch working to cook up this stuff.
Goldberg: There are
hormones that are secreted at orgasm proloactin, oxytocin that
facilitate sleep. But you have to accept as gospel that men orgasm
more than women. If that's true, then you have your answer as to
why men fall asleep after sex.
And it seems like women don't. If
women orgasm as much as men, we might all be asleep all the
time.
