Why Do We Talk Extra During Sex?

Have you ever had a passionate night and woken up wondering, "Why in the world did I say all that while we were cuddling?" You're not alone.

The same chemical that makes a warm embrace feel even better, oxytocin, is released by the brain following an orgasm, according to science. That intense feeling of trust and emotional connection that follows intimacy is brought on by this little hormone.

Here's when it gets tricky: The tongue might become as relaxed as the body due to this oxytocin rush. All of a sudden, you're expressing kind words, admissions, or even emotions you didn't intend to share. It's not a negative thing in a committed relationship. But in a casual setting? It might be risky. A premature declaration of love could drive the other person away or strengthen your bond. In any case, it's preferable to wait and see whether your feelings change in the morning if you're not sure.

However, why do we speak during the actual act? Easy. We are primitive beings as well as rational beings. One of our most instinctual and natural behaviors is having sex, and part of that experience involves sound. It's about communication, not simply enthusiasm.

Whether they are moaned or whispered, words give the experience additional depth. Particularly for women, who are frequently more aroused by the imagination than by simple images, a well-chosen statement can trigger desire equally as strongly as a delicate touch. However, a poorly chosen word that is overly offensive or inappropriate can quickly destroy the atmosphere.

Therefore, keep in mind that words have power both in and out of bed the next time you find yourself engrossed in the moment. Make good use of them.
