What do women do secretly after sex?

Women often demand prolongation during foreplay. During after-sex relaxation, on the other hand, they are less enthusiastic. Of course, they enjoy the cuddly togetherness after the lovemaking just as much as men do. The only difference is that she’s often already thinking about something else while he’s blissfully drifting off into the land of dreams. Hormones are to blame.

During a man’s orgasm, the hormones prolactin and oxytocin are released, and the levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline drop. This combination causes what is known as post-coital fatigue. During female orgasm, on the other hand, the concentration of adrenaline and noradrenaline in the blood increases. That’s why they are often awake and hyper after orgasm. So much for the theory. But what do the ladies do when man is still hung up on the climax? I asked around in the girls’ round and listed the 10 most common things.

What woman does after sex #1: put on rose-colored glasses and have a party

Wow. That was wild, that was intimate, that was beautiful. The hormone cocktail of oxytocin and adrenaline ensures that we girls are catapulted to cloud 177. When our heartbeat and breathing slowly calm down, we feel totally awake and super relaxed at the same time. The best thing about it: the reason for our emotional flash is right next to us. That’s where we like to look: How you lie there, completely exhausted with tousled hair — to fall in love with! Some of us are so exuberant that we would love to cuddle tightly, exchange vows of love or tie up life plans. But because you men are anything but ready to jump after the orgasm, one or the other of you sometimes gets it wrong — and this is typically commented on like this: “You always fall asleep after sex”.

What woman does after sex #2: check if the condom was really tight.

Most of us would only touch a used condom with two fingers. Still, many jump over their disgusting shadows, especially after a one-night stand. After all, the horror stories of broken rubbers do not pass us by without a trace. Even if the sex was terrific, the silent doubt arises in many women. For a long time, we were simply used to having to take care of contraception exclusively ourselves and therefore have a trained compulsion to control — especially if the condom served as more than just a backup to hormonal contraception.

What she does after sex #3: move to your side of the bed.

A wet spot on the sheets? The residue of sex is part of the deal, but please, not on our side of the mattress! After sex, that’s why some of us like to slide over to your side to prevent marks on their half. Haven’t you noticed yet? Pay attention to it the next time you have sex. Sure, she wants to cuddle — but that’s not the only reason for her need for closeness.

What woman does after sex #4: consider whether she needs to change the sheet.

It follows from point #2: How big was the mess? Did you rush straight to the bathroom and snuggle back into the box fresh, or did you stay put after the lusty battle? Even more pressing is the question of lovemaking during her strawberry week. You know the carnage that can leave behind. Yes, we think so practically. I’m telling you, drive says hello!

What the sweetheart does after sex #5: in your mind cancel the workout in the evening.

Rumpling the sheets was exhausting enough. Sweat again today? Oh no. Unless we couldn’t really work up a sweat during bedtime exercise. But when in doubt, we opt for a marathon series and an extra cuddle session on the couch.

What she does after sex #6: reach for the bottle and disappear to the bathroom afterwards.

No, we’re not talking about champagne, but about ordinary water or whatever else is on the nightstand. Exciting sex makes you thirsty, that much is clear. But there’s another reason why some of us reach for the water bottle after sex. They want to make sure they can go to the bathroom in the next half hour, to prevent it from burning like hell when they pee in the next 3 days. This is because there are gals who tend to get bladder infections after sex. This is triggered by germs from the man that get into the woman’s bladder during sex. By flushing the urethra when peeing, woman can prevent the so-called honeymoon cystis. That is why your sweetheart always rushes to the toilet so quickly afterwards.

What woman does after sex #7: looking for the panties.

It’s like bewitched: as if a monster under the bed steals underpants, bras and socks, which have gone in all directions in the heat of the moment. Most of the time the pieces of laundry are scattered under the blanket at the foot of the bed. Before we get up, the piece must be found.

What your partner does after sex #8: check the vagina.

Just the two of us: a woman and her vagina. After sex, we treat ourselves to intimate togetherness in the shower at the latest. Is everything good down there? We can still feel the intense lovemaking hours later.

What she does after sex #9: risk a look in the mirror

We don’t often have the opportunities to look at ourselves naked in the mirror during the day: after getting up, before going to bed and, right, after sex. That’s why many of us take advantage of the moment to do a quick shape check. And it usually turns out well: because of the overflowing happiness hormones after orgasm, we are not as strict with ourselves as usual. After sex, the lips glow, the skin is plump and the complexion rosy — hello sex bomb!

What woman does after sex #10: satisfy yourself.

Don’t worry: just because a woman still gives herself a hand after sex, it doesn’t mean that she didn’t enjoy the little sleepover. On the contrary, many women are so hot after the first orgasm that they immediately crave the next one. Because some don’t want to put their (tired) partner through it, they masturbate in a tried and tested way.

Conclusion: Habits do not hurt the partner

Yes, women have their tics after sex. And what about you? What are you up to? Do you maybe snap an after-sex selfie, smoke that cigarette afterwards, or keep an ominous tally sheet? Regardless of whether a man or woman has secret habits, they don’t hurt your partner. After all, as long as the sex is authentic, it doesn’t matter who does what afterwards, does it?
