Never do these things

Just like you use so much of energy while having sex and in the moment leading to it, after sex actions too are very important. There are certain do’s and don’ts that must be kept in mind. So here are 5 things you must never do right after having sex.

2/6

Washing your private parts with intimate wash

It is a thumb rule that after having sex we should wash our private parts but the collateral mistake you make is when you wash it with an intimate wash. These washes can be very harsh and ruin your pH levels and you cannot forget the fact that your skin is very sensitive there right after sex. It is best to pee to get rid of any bacteria over washing as well.

3/6

Clean the sex toys

Just like you clean your body, clean your sex toys as well after using them. You cannot afford for any kind of bacteria to sit on it as the next time you use it, you will have major issues. Clean the toys with warm water and a mild soap.

4/6

Don’t just leave after sex

You have been intimate with your partner, you just had sex with him or her. Don’t leave him/her cold right after doing it. It is a very insensitive move and it makes the other feel used too. Spoon them for a while, kiss the forehead, hug, make sure your body is touching your partner for a few minutes. This releases some happy hormones and makes both you and your partner feel good. If you can, take feedback with love and care in your voice. Ask her/him if it was good. If not, ask what can be done better. This shows you consider his/her feelings and who doesn't like that?

5/6

Don’t put on tight clothes

Let your body breathe after sex. Wear a light t-shirt, pajama or a night dress or just boxers, avoid anything body hugging. Reason being that right after sex, your body releases fluids and prespires. If you wear anything tight, the friction increases and this can lead to bacteria.

6/6

Keep that screen away

Forget about the outer world after sex. Don’t check your phone or TV right after you have had a hot, intimate session. This is equivalent to leaving the bed right away. This shows nothing but detachment. Make sure you are present for your partner and make use of the oxytocin - the bonding hormone our body releases after sex.
