Falling asleep/passing out during sex?

I don't know what's wrong (or right) with me but I keep passing out or falling asleep as soon as I orgasm or cum.

Seriously, within minutes or sometimes even seconds I will just knock out. Sometimes I stay asleep for hours and other times only 15 minutes.

Does anyone also experience this??

Should I go to a doctor or ask them??

I believe it's starting to piss off my partner slightly. Sometimes its in the middle of sex, he's working my bum and I just pass out.

He still does it though, but while I'm asleep. I'm feeling very guilty cause I know he enjoys my reactions, but I can't react when I'm asleep!

Any advice please?

Thank you.

If you are passing out I would see a doctor.

Men falling asleep after they have an orgasm is very common.

I've heard that having an orgasm is synonymous with being under the influence of heroin, the way the dopamine kicks in & all that other stuff. It has the potential to cause a very relaxing effect on the body.

Perhaps the body feels it has done a lot of "work" to achieve orgasm, you know, get the blood pumping & what not, that it feels exhausted afterwards.

I have been guilty of starting to doze off while receiving oral sex. But consider the conditions. Nice hotel bed. Air conditioning. Late at night after a long day. All of the factors that contribute to making one relaxed, and also tired.

So in your case, it can be any of a combination of what the sexual activity is doing to your body, or the conditions in which you are having it, like the when (what time of day) & where.

I've actually dozed off while jacking off, & frequently nod off after jacking off. Although we're talking in the overnight when i haven't gotten much sleep, and maybe i'm also under the influence of something which could make me sleepy too.

You may want to try first thing in the morning after waking up. Or go out & get a nice coffee or an energy drink or something first to help stay awake & alert.

It's ironic that you feel guilty for being unconscious while someone is having sex with you. One would think the one who should feel guilty is the one having sex with an unconscious person. But i get it.

IMO, sleep after orgasm is normal.

Maybe it depends on position, mental state before sex, and how tired you are.

I LIKE to fall asleep after orgasm! So does my wife! Waking up a while later with my flaccid penis still inside her is "a good thing"!

Two things here.

First of all see your doctor. There is a condition called a vasovagal syncope. I have heard this might be how Elvis died. Please look it up. If you have ever heard of men dying on a toilet chances are they had a vasovagal response and basically died. If you are playing back there pressure from an object like a penis or dildo would put the same type of pressure in the same place which might cause this to happen. Remember, I'm just a nurse, so ask your doctor.

Secondly, if there isn't anything wrong with you medically speaking and you fall asleep during sex, then find a new partner because your partner isn't doing his job, lol.

I used to fall asleep on my ex-husband all the time but that was because he was a very boring. He couldn't maintain an erection. He was a very large man and the doctor said that his body didn't produce enough testosterone for his size (tall, but about 400 lbs). Anyway he used to get really mad at me because I fell asleep. I don't have that problem anymore, Thank God!! I really hope you get your problem sorted though!!

Are you tired before you start? Do you get enough good restful sleep? You are the one going through this, are you of the feeling that you are just very satisfied and the world is a good place and you are just taken with your thoughts and you drift off to a peaceful sleep, or do you pass out, as in you are not getting enough blood or enough oxygen in your blood, of you are having some other kind of an imbalance? I guess the question is one of sensation, one being very pleasant and the other being more like feeling your body is being deprived of resources and is shutting down?

I am an awful sleeper. I am up late most nights. I get my best work done between about 11PM and 2AM. I will go to bed tired and soon discover I have little interest in sleeping. Some days I sleep until 11 or later, some days I am up at 8 or 9. I try to not sweat it. Often times I will have a nap on the couch in the living room. Sleep comes gently and is nice on the couch, except for my body being in an odd position. If I go and try and sleep, usually that will not work at all. However a good romp in bed, I will curl up and sleep like a baby. And I can stay down as you say, for anywhere to a few minutes to a a few hours. But that sleep comes very gently and naturally, and if I am not down too long I get up feeling amazingly refreshed.

I also like doing sex when I don't feel good and have just taken medication. For example when my sinuses hurt badly. Nothing like taking handful of pain killers and having a romp. The act gets your metabolism up and gets the painkillers in you quickly, you get that little bit of the endorphin thing that helps for a bit, and you get that post sex ability to drift off to sleep and knowing you will wake up feeling a lot better. And you get to tell the SO that the sex is actually medicinal. I have her doing the same thing now. If you have not tried it, you should. Right up there with chicken soup with matzo balls.
