Alice,

can you please tell me why my fiancé laughs after he ejaculates... is it common or should i take it personally????

 

Dear Reader,

Don't worry. As long as your hair's not gelled and your name's not Mary, your husband-to-be is most certainly laughing with you, not at you. For both sexes, post-orgasmic giggles, sighs, yawning, and even crying are natural signs of relaxation following the mega-tension releasing event known in the vernacular as coming. You know how you sometimes laugh in relief right after something really scary happens in a horror flick? Okay, bad example. How about the laughs of joy when your team hits a homerun in extra innings, or scores the winning touchdown with two seconds to go? Well, you get the point... the same "funny" tension-release principle's at play.

Please write back if your groom starts pointing at you while he's laughing, as this could be grounds for divorce.

Alice
