After we've had sex my boyfriend sometimes laughs uncontrollably. He says he can't help it but I find it a real turn-off. What can we do?

This is rarely discussed - but it's not rare. Over the years I have had several questions from readers, men and women, who have been puzzled by this postcoital response. It seems that for a percentage of people laughing or giggling is an automatic response to an overwhelming neurophysiological experience. However, there isn't much in the way of academic research to explain it.
