It's natural. If you have a intimate time with a man, his estrogen levels go up, there's a lot of love. Automatically his testosterone will go down. That means he needs to pull away to rebuild that testosterone. If he doesn't take time to find his happiness not dependent on you, then he feels guilty for pulling away, which is the common experience of many men today because many women will go, you, you hurt me. Why are you pulling away? Why are you not looking at me, attending to me and all that neediness that comes out. So if he pulls away, some men won't pull away. Then their estrogen stays high and they become irritable and grumpy and pouty and needy and that just pushes her more to her male side and the passion will go away. But having understanding Mars and Venus, inevitably you have a really good time together. He's going to need some time to breathe separate from you.
