Ex-Arab Strap Aidan Moffatt's Sex Advice Column...

Dear Aidan,

I know as a man I am biologically prone to post-coital drowsiness, yet I strive to be the kind of man who will whisper sweet nothings in my lover’s ear as we drift off together. Yet I struggle. What is a polite amount of time that I should to try to stay awake for?

cheers,
J. Dobson

I can honestly say I’ve never had this problem myself, J – I usually lie awake for ages until the lucky girl has fallen asleep and then get up and make a sandwich and a cup of tea and watch the telly. Am I the exception to the supposed rule, or is the idea of immediate post-coital deep sleep for men a myth? Only science can answer that, but the truth might be that you and many, many other men are just fucking lazy. All I can suggest for now is that if you genuinely want to stay awake for a cuddle but can’t manage it, just tell your girlfriend all about it. Then, when you fall asleep, at least she’ll know that you’d rather be loving her – and it’s the thought that counts. Although you do realise that a lot of women tend to fall asleep after sex too, yes? Which means as well as being lazy and a big softy, you may also be crap in bed. Just saying.
