Kelly Ripa made headlines previously this month after saying on “Live with Kelly” that her spouse, Mark Consuelos, is “mean” after sex, and while she backpedaled Wednesday by clarifying he is just “disinterested” afterward, the harm had been already done. Ripa’s Feb. 9 admission, whether in jest or perhaps not, happens to be trending on different news web web sites, including that one, from the time.

Irrespective of Ripa’s intention, her findings about her husband’s post-sex behavior beg the concern: Do guys really get disinterested after intercourse? And in case therefore, why?

Popular science’s explanation for guys rolling over after ejaculation is just a hormone response alone, Dr. Raj Dasgupta, a professor of pulmonary and rest medicine during the University of Southern California, and a spokesperson for the United states Academy of Sleep Medicine, told Fox News.
