A member asked:

I had sex and when i came home my stomach keeps making growling noises what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Growling noises are caused by very active intestinal tract peristalsis. It's conceivable that hormones like dopamine&oxytocin released during sex stimulated your gastrointestinal tract.

Dr Rhoads agreed
