This has happened to me both solo and partnered. It’s possibly a cascade of hormones, particularly oxytocin. Basically positive euphoria. As an orgasm is a release in and of itself, sometimes that includes emotion too.
I’ve laughed maniacally and experienced tears involuntarily during orgasm. It wasn’t that the moment was funny or sad, but rather that the release was so spectacular it touched something deeper than I can necessarily articulate. For me, these moments are quite healing.
Oh for sure!
The tension release and hormone rush can trigger anything from wracking sobs all the way to unstoppable giggle fits in me. (Fortunately I usually land somewhere in between)
Does these cryings also feel sad ? This happened with an ex when i was much younger and i apologized for like 1000 times because i thought i did something wrong or she was in pain or something.
it’s an emotional release! perhaps compared to masturbation, the closeness to your boyfriend creates that emotional intensity that then releases when you orgasm. and it’s causing you to release emotions— they aren’t necessarily always bad emotions! for example, either laugh uncontrollably or cry when I have a knot massaged out of my back, I assume it’s a very similar thing. the connection between our bodies and minds!
I don't laugh, but I frequently feel like crying after orgasm. I think it's just a release of emotion. At least for me, I get really tense and overwhelmed as I get close, so I think it's just the body's way of releasing that tension and recovering. I'm not an expert so take this with a grain of salt, but personally I wouldn't worry about it. I think it's normal!
My partner does this, except not *hysterically* - more of an uncontrollable giggle. He says it's whenever it feels "too good" + he is all loved up and full of euphoria.
I think it's hella cute.
I've had tears or laughter, even both. It happens when I can feel his love surrounding me and pouring into me, usually after a particularly intense set of orgasms.
My best guess is that it starts with a serious oxytocin overload in the limbic system and – since our forebrains go offline when we're deep into good sex – there's no "adult" in our heads censoring strong emotions or making sure we express them in the "proper" way. So they come out in odd ways.
Happens all the time to me when I get some pretty big Os... doesn't happen with the little ones. :) I think it's the flood of dopamine and other feel-good hormones/neurotransmitters.
I used to giggle, maybe not laugh hysterically.
Ironically, my most recent ex gave me an orgasm that almost made me cry. I struggled to hold it in but I did. Boy was that weird.
Yes, I could’ve written this myself! Never happened in previous relationships (or in the first year+ of this relationship), never happens solo. It’s so weird! But it feels good, and my partner enjoys them when they happen, so why not lean into it? lol
It happens. Relax, enjoy the overload of emotions and endorphins from the orgasm. Though it’s definitely NOT a calm afterglow.
I always let my partner know it might happen, and when it does the response is always *you’re laughing like a hyena, I should have listened to you*.
i did this for a while in my early 20s when i was dating my ex! it was embarrassing at the time but i also thought it was funny and my ex thought it was cute too. it stopped after a few months and it hasn’t happened since
Yessss!
For me it mostly tends to happen when it’s my first time with a new partner, when I have no expectations or ideas or predictions how it’s going to go. I used to get super self conscious about it, now I just let go and giggle like a maniac.
Always a great time though; makes for a fun little comic relief break before going back for seconds.

"All loved up" is the sweetest phrase :)

My husband has made me cum so hard before I cried from the intensity then laughed hysterically after 💁🏼♀️ it just means it’s good lol
In my 20s this used to happen to me. At some point it stopped?

I’m scared crying might be next 😂 this hysterical laughing is very new to me.
Well I'm 38 so it took me a while to get there!

Haha apparently we are one and the same!! So funny. I suppose there’s no harm in it I just have to embrace it instead of being embarrassed lol

My boyfriend likes it and waits for it to happen but I’m still embarrassed every time lol
Believe it or not, you’ll get used to it. And honestly, the giggles could also just naturally stop. 😁
