Post-sex blues can often feel like a sudden gush of sadness or irritability. So, aftercare, in this context, refers to the things you and your partner do to ensure that things are OK and taken care of after sex. You do not want your partner feeling like they were wanted just for sex, and after that, everything goes back to ‘reset’ mode. Giving your partner extra TLC after sex is very important.

Emotional aftercare

Most aftercare activities include watching TV together in bed, cuddling, talking, having drinks or something to eat. Anything that brings you closer and more connected. Spending time together after the feel-good chemical rush ends is the best way to wrap up your intimate time, without feeling incomplete. See what works for you as a couple, because some prefer being given space, while others need the intimacy.

Post-sex, the best thing both of you could do is head to the shower and get a good clean-up. Practicing good physical hygiene is important to prevent UTIs and even sometimes, STDs. Feeling refreshed after physical intimacy revives your energy and sets you up for some much-needed cuddles, food and TV!

Peeing after sex can help to get rid of germs or bacteria that might have sneaked in. Don’t forget to also give your genitals a good wash after sex. Keeping the area untouched for long after sex might not be the best move, as it could lead to infection or rashes.

Get tested
