Q: 

Why do I feel cold when I have sex?

I've had sex with my boyfriend three times. The recent one, my boyfriend said that I feel cold while he is sweating and hot. I also get a dry mouth, but I think that is because I'm panting. Also, my legs start shaking after awhile. I'm worried that there's something wrong with me because when you have sex you're supposed to be warm and hot, but I am cold. I think maybe because I was not wet enough because this time it hurt while the other times it didn't hurt. Am I cold because I'm not turned on enough? I couldn't find any answers online so please help me.

Hi Anonymous,

One of the reasons why you will have that cold feeling after sex is that your blood vessels (open up) transferring a lot of your core body temp to your extremities and the surface of your skin. Once the act of sex is completed and as you begin to relax, your blood vessels constrict and return a lot of blood back towards your core, along with what ever warmth it carries. Therefore, you have that "brrrr" feeling. This is often the case after an adrenaline rush too. Hope this helps.

I have the same problem! After sex I am always shaking cold and have to get warm quickly. Normally by putting on layers but my boyfriend and i always like to cuddle afterwards and it's not the same when I'm wrapped up in blankets. I suffer from anaemia and also when cold I can often pass out for up to 20minutes. So scared him the first time it happen but we have kind of got used to it. Cuddle straight after sex without wrapping up as the intense heat from him warms me up.
