Crying after sex

I’ve been with my partner for over 5 years and ever since we got Together o cry after we have sex but not every time and I don’t know why! He’s the second person I’ve slept with and been in a relationship with and my ex was very toxic and said/ did things during sex or about sex that has just stuck with me. I’m fed up now if crying, my partner is so supportive about it but I just feel bad about it anyone got any suggestions on why I do this or how to help/stop it

I feel you'd benefit from the freedom programme (women's aid) or some therapy x

Crying after sex is not as uncommon as you might think. The rush of hormones and release is a lot. And can affect us all in different ways. Some people vomit. Some feel sleepy. Some cry. Try masturbating, understand what feels good to your body. Where is there a release or enjoyment. Can you feel your body respond emotionally. If this if perhaps more psychological than hormones - seek some advice from a registered sex therapist. You mentioned trauma from past relationships which would suggest there is something held subconsciously for you here. That has not been resolved. Speak with someone - talking therapy can help us overcome and find pleasure in those new relationships.
