Another bit of LD weirdness is this: After sex, I used to feel flooded with chemicals. I felt in love with my H, my kids, the world. Now? I just feel sated. Like a balloon that has popped and there is no chemical rush accompanying it. It's very strange and I can totally see how a woman would think "ok that's done". This is such a foreign thought to me, I can't express that enough. I have never had such thoughts in my life. Well, one other time but I was on hormonal therapy trying to conceive my first child and chalked it up to that. Being an HD person, as soon as you are sated the chemicals flood your body and you are automatically motivated to do it again. Not in the literal sense...doing it right that minute...but that it creates a mindset--and the physical sensations to accompany it--to set you up for the next encounter. That is weirdly missing in my current state.
Speaking in vera, vera broad generalities -
I figured there was a major difference between the HD/LD response post climax. This confirms and helps explain the post-sex disconnects couples can have.
HDs feel the rush and are already looking forward to the next time, if not actually going right ahead and initiating the next time right then. LDs are basking in the contented feelings of fulfillment and satisfaction.
It's a perfect setup for another WTF marriage moment.
HD keeps tickling around the edges for another go at it because that was so great. LD figures either that the HD is insatiable or that the encounter s/he just enjoyed fully wasn't good enough for HD. HD then thinks it must have sucked for the LD, otherwise why aren't they all revved up about it.
