A mysterious condition is behind the colourful orgasms, with an estimated 2% of the population experiencing a degree of it during sex. Sure, everything comes up roses for most people when they orgasm – but for one man, his climaxes are a little more colourful than most. The 31-year-old married man, referred to as Mr R, has a neurological condition which causes him to see shades of pink every time he orgasms .

According to a case study in the scientific publication the Iranian Journal of Psychiatry , the man underwent a litany of tests after complaining to doctors about his “rose-tinted glasses” post-climax. The man told doctors that objects also appeared brighter, clearer and as though it was early morning, even if he had orgasmed at night..
