What do girls and noodles have in common? They both wiggle when you eat them. ---

I can’t walk after an orgasm with my girlfriend either. ETA: Oops, read the thread title too quickly. ---

My guess is that weakness of the legs is more likely due to back and leg position during coitus (naturally being more extreme toward climax) impinging on the sciatic nerve, than to a vascular cause. If so, the brag should go to the girlfriend for being a contortionist (or having a herniated disc), not the OP. ---

I remember the first time I did do it standing in the shower and I honest-to-God about fell over and said “That was the goddamn worst”. Haven’t done it in the shower since and only once had it while standing by…other means. Hated that feeling. ---

It’s because she’s not in shape, her leg muscles are weak. She’s tensing them constantly during sex and when it’s over, that’s what you get. Same as if you’re out of shape and climbed stairs for 10 mins. ---
