smoking after sex

[bomber]

Wasn't sure if the vaping part of the forum is about e-cigs or normal smoking so Ill post it here, since it's not harm reduction anyway.
I was just wondering why it is so common to have a sigarete after sex. Is that an extra dopamine kick or anything? I always enjoy smoking after sex, but sometime I feel it reduses the good after sex feelings...

Ahh. Smoking a cigarette after sex is one of life's small but very powerful pleasures. I'll try to explain it as best as I can.

The rush of nicotine going into your bloodstream stimulates your body and cuts off circulation to the brain. Due to this, your heart rate is increased slightly, and you feel a slight buzz. After an orgasm, your heart rate is already increased due to the process of climaxing and well, sex and excitement in general.

The cigarette will further relax your mind more than it already is. Not only because of the nicotine, but the action of blowing spirals of smoke into the air while stretched out fully naked on a comfortable bed. During sex, tons of chemicals known as endorphins are released into the body, which causes you to feel nice and relaxed. The cigarette will amplify this relaxed feeling and put your mind more at peace.

I can't really explain why there's an undesirable urge to have a cigarette directly after an orgasm, but I'm gonna say it's because your body is craving even more relaxation. It's a nice feeling though! One of the best times to light one up in my opinion. Cigarettes AND some good chronic.
