I want a type answer please? Thank you

Answer 1

Sexual climax is controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system.

After an orgasm, the brain releases hormones that can make you feel happy and sleepy. Once an orgasm has occurred, your brain tends to slow down. But it doesn't go off-duty entirely.

"In both men and women, the orgasm signals the parasympathetic nervous system to start down-regulating (or calming) the body. The prefrontal cortex, which was previously activated leading up to orgasm, also becomes down-regulated – and this is linked to increased levels of oxytocin to facilitate attachment."
