I swear I'm only posting this here as an excuse to divulge the greatest turn of phrase I've ever encountered in poetry ... read on.
"Sometimes we treat sex lightly, but sex doesn’t always treat us lightly in return. In biological terms, the female orgasm releases a burst of oxytocin, also known as the cuddle hormone. Oxytocin helps facilitate a sense of attachment. But if there's nothing to attach to, if there's no deeper emotional content or meaningfulness, orgasm could become a regretful reminder of the hollowness of the sex that preceded it. Some sexolgists call this phenomenon post-orgasm regret, and it typically manifests itself in the form of sadness or anger."
The above is from http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2010/12/09/sex-should-women-be-more-like-men/
"Postcoital triste," from A.A. Armon's "Garbage."
