Charles Bukowski is an…interesting…read. Rent _Barfly_ and consider it an autobiography of sorts.

One of his stories includes the come on line, "I can F\*\*\* you til you cry.

Lovely. Now there’s a visual I’ll carry in my brain for awhile. :dubious:

I’ve had some weird emotional reactions immediately after orgasm. At least once, I started crying and just couldn’ts top. I had to go into the bathroom to calm down. i never did really figure out why. No pain, no bumps, no bruises or anything. Very weird.

Well, that’s the problem, isn’t it? I mean, the ovary is _right there._

Okay, thanks for the clarification. 🙂

I’m not a woman and have no ovaries, but I have noticed that whenever I get bumped directly on the bridge of the nose, I have a sudden feeling that I’m about to burst into tears, which is unrelated to the (relatively minor) pain. Getting hit much harder on, say, the forehead or cheek or whatever does not induce this feeling.

(I’m not talking about getting punched in a fight, just bumping my nose on a cabinet door or whatever.)

I sometimes almost cry at that moment, too. It’s very weird - I don’t feel sad or bad, but all of a sudden, immediately post-orgasm, tears well up in my eyes; if I let myself go I’d be openly crying.

In the two times that it has happened since I got married, I was able to sort of hug my husband to me and hold him close, and breathe deeply through my nose and swallow it down until the urge passes. So far I’ve managed to not let on that it’s happening. I just don’t know how to explain a sudden spate of bedroom tears.

I always figured it was hormonal; but I’m afraid he’d think it was _him_.

I think most of us guys are more likely to cry when we’re NOT getting any.

Well, I don’t know. Don’t ovaries usually, you know, hurt? Not one to argue against the doc, but it does seem completely strange. Must be related to the “sneezing at the sun” mystery.

I have heard of women crying or laughing incontrollably when they experience G Spot orgasms, but this ovary business is new to me. _New log entry saved_

Well, my right ovary is giving me hell right now…it decided to pop an egg a bit ago and now i am cycling all the cramps are originating on the right side=(

On the other TMI, I giggle with a clitoral orgasm, but not from a g spot one, but the g spot one is stronger and can be multiple. Never been nailed in the ovary though. Sounds like something I would prefer to avoid however ☹
