1. Go to the bathroom
Urinating after sex won't protect against infections, but it will help partially eliminate the bacteria that are waiting to invade the urethra and start reproducing in the bladder.
For men, the urethra is longer, so bacteria are not as threatening, but this advice also applies to them, especially if they practice withdrawal. A trip to the bathroom within an hour after sex will clear the urethra of residual sperm. This is important if another round is planned. But it's better to use reliable contraceptive methods.
2. Take a shower
After sex, it is recommended to take a shower within 15 minutes to cleanse the genitals of lubricant and prevent bacteria from entering the urethra, which are the cause of infections in the bladder.
If there's no shower, wet wipes or a terry towel soaked in hot water will help. Be sure to wipe your hands and intimate areas.
This also includes the hygiene of sex toys. Clearly, after sex, you don't want to think about such a boring task, but push yourself to immediately wash used sex devices. Do this and forget about them until next time.
3. Drink a glass of water
After sex, just like after a good workout, the body is often dehydrated. Don't be lazy and drink a couple of glasses of water to replenish your hard-working body with vital moisture.
4. Talk
It has been proven that after sex, men need more rest. However, even after an exhausting sex marathon, it is important to find a couple of minutes for conversation or any display of affection, as this is essential for strengthening emotional intimacy and relationships.
The moment after orgasm is perfect for a compliment. You don’t need to elaborate and sing praises. Just say, “I really liked it when you did…” or “That was simply amazing.”
If you don’t feel like talking at all, you can hug your partner, stroke their hair, or do something else. The main thing is that it should be a sincere gesture, even if it’s without words.
5. Eat
If a person has given their all, they are usually hungry. But don’t rush to the kitchen right after orgasm. After talking and hugging, offer your partner a snack and something protein-rich or vitamin-rich. For example, bananas contain enzymes, vitamin B, and riboflavins that are beneficial for health.
Foods with beneficial bacteria, such as natural yogurt, are also suitable for a snack. It's also good to eat chia seeds after sex, which will help replenish energy reserves.
