Sometimes I cry after sex. Is this normal?

I have talked to people who cry after sex; some because they feel so emotionally happy and overwhelmed after sex and/or orgasm and the feelings get expressed in tears. A few have cried because they felt guilty about being sexually active. You are not alone in crying after sex.

Relationship Q&A: Spring 2013

January 2, 2014
I’m an incoming freshman and I am really scared of the heavy workload and challenging classes. I came from a high school that did not have many resources and did not receive the best education. I am worried that I cannot compare to other students who had the privilege to go to a good school and have additional academic support. Do you have any advice on what I can do or how to change this mentality?

Constantly being sexiled from my room

August 7, 2014
My roommate constantly lets her boyfriend sleep over so I’m always getting sexiled overnight (so it’s the couch for me). I’ve already told her that I don’t like him staying over so much but she always comes up with excuses as to why he had to. I don’t want to fight with her over such a petty issue but I can’t take it anymore, help!
