Does sex change your personality?


I was just wondering about this. Does your personality change when you have sex?

Mine didn't. I guess it depends on the situation, age, and maturity of the individual.

That would be hard to quantify given how many people start having sex when they're already changing.

In addition to Pythagorean's post, sometime you change and you don't realize it, making the question even harder to answer correctly.

I know I am grumpy when I DON'T have sex - which means I spend a lot of time crumpy ...

In another view about sex - I have know two people that have had sex change procedures. They both may not have 'changed' much - but seemed much happier and more self-confident as time passed after change.

Would this be a case of sex influencing a personality - or more properly of gender?

I tell my wife that I am a better engineer when I get some in the morning .... but I guess she likes bad engineers. LOL

So yes it does change your personality. I know I'm lighter on my feet and quicker of wit. For instance had I have had some today I wouldn't of had to edit this post. LOL

Thanks

Most people are more happy, when they get some. Their dopamine levels increase, causing them to be in a better mood.

Next time you go into work, you may able to notice your co-workers, and just look at them, most of the time, you can just tell. Or there, is that they may just be deeply in love. That one can throw you off a little bit. Which, is my case, lol.

It could probably be tied to self-confidence. This would differ in degree from person to person, but I think most can agree that a sexual relationship is very reaffirming.
