I don't think I've ever had a request, and I don't see any unanswered requests now. Am I missing something?

Yeah it makes sense because when you get tired blood flows more easily into your donger

Something like this.


It's not tremendously well-understood (nothing about sleep is), but that's not far off of one of the theories. Counterintuitively, sexual arousal is triggered by the parasympathetic nervous system, and inhibited by the sympathetic, which is the opposite of how most physical arousal works. When you're tired enough to be nodding off, sympathetic activity is quite low, so you don't have that inhibition anymore and the body reverts to its default state of being sexually aroused.

Conversely, that's why it's hard to get it up when you're nervous or stressed. High sympathetic activity=inhibited sexual arousal, which makes sense because your body's all like "no we can't make sexytime now that tiger's going to eat us if we don't punch it."
