Interesting passage:

But the yawn and the associated stretch of the 'stretch-yawn syndrome' have been linked to desire and even of being in love, figuring in the courtship process both in the West and in passages in ancient Indian literature. Seuntjens has even found one pair of authors who described the feeling that accompanies the acme of yawning as a "mini-orgasm".

Sex -> high blood pressure -> requires a lot of oxygen -> lack of oxygen -> yawning?
