T he Internet’s latest infatuation is the #AfterSex selfie, which is exactly what it sounds like. In fact, taking a selfie after you’ve had sex might just be the new post-coital cigarette. (Unless, of course, it’s scrolling through your phone to see what you missed while otherwise occupied.)
Browse through the feed on Instagram (NSFW), and you’ll see people using the hashtag on a variety of photos: raunchy cartoons, eyeroll-worthy memes, a very relaxed looking open hand (get it?) and a surprising number of photos of actor Dave Franco (why it’s not James, the weirder brother, is anyone’s guess). But once you wade through the joke images, you get to the good stuff.
Look for the carefully filtered photos of attractive couples with bedroom eyes and tousled hair, smily coyly amid twisted bedclothes, or on sofas, or elsewhere. There’s also a number of singular selfies of one person staring moodily into the camera, often with a strategic amount of skin bared for the camera. These images have an identifiable post-coital aesthetic, a messy hint of real life that differs from the very posed, strained “sexy” selfies that populate the web. These people look… relaxed.
A similar hashtag #AfterSexHair shows a series of people showing off with beachy waves meant to emulate the carefree, look someone might have after a roll in the hay.
Of course it’s not like there’s anything new about showing off your relationship bliss. After all, couples around the world have been posting cutsey photos and status updates referencing “the boy” and “the gf” for years. But in the era of the groupie (and the belfie and the lelfie and who even knows what else), the #AfterSex selfie is a way of pushing digital boundaries (and boasting) to a new level. Anyone who sees one of the better versions of these photos will realize how amazing you are, how fulfilled you are in life and love, and damn if you don’t look good in the process.
These may seem like the ultimate overshare of life’s most intimate and private moments, but it’s an extension of a culture that places a premium on constantly sharing details about your good fortune, even though it’s actually making us miserable . CNET even posits that this could be part of a confessional trend started by apps like Secret and Whisper , both of which encourage users to share their true thoughts — often about sex, love and bodily functions — anonymously.
There’s no doubt many of the #aftersex photos are fake — because let’s be real, it takes a sincere lack of awareness to post a picture of yourself in any state of undress to the Internet at this point — but that doesn’t even matter. By declaring it a trend , it will become one. And certainly, articles like this might inspire more people to share pictures of themselves in posed, heavy-lidded bliss. The Internet knows that we can’t stop scrolling through our social networks, which is why we end up looking at a friend’s vacation photos on Facebook even though we know that it’ll only make us feel bad about ourselves . Creating and posting an evocative image is a guaranteed way to get more likes, more comments, more compliments. And any attention that accompanies an extra interesting or sexy shot will no doubt validate our sex lives or coupledom.
In an era where we decide on an outfit in a store because we’ve already snapped the perfect Instagram photo of ourselves wearing it in our mind, it’s scary to think about whether we’ll start consciously staging our most uninhibited moments. And soon, instead of thinking about what’s just happened with another human being, we’ll be arranging our every move the way we arrange our food on plates so that everything looks right before you decide on an image filter.
There are social scientists who think that posting selfies can be a healthy exercise for young people who are struggling to express themselves. But #aftersex might be the definition of taking it slightly too far.

Sex is a great feeling. Wouldn’t we all agree? However, it is also a biological process. After achieving orgasm post sex, various bodily processes are at play, to bring back your body to its normal state. These processes are different for both males and females. Let’s discover how.
Sex is a great feeling. Wouldn’t we all agree? However, it is also a biological process. After achieving orgasm post sex, various bodily processes are at play, to bring back your body to its normal state. These processes are different for both males and females. Let’s discover how.
The heart rate of an individual increases while your muscles become tense. This characterises a healthy blood flow to your genitals.
While your muscles continue to tighten, the testicles begin experiencing a pull, while the vagina contracts under the clitoral hood.
The muscles of both the penis and the vagina contract and retract. Your body becomes flushed and red. If you have a penis, you end up ejaculating and if you have a vagina, you reach a vaginal orgasm.
The tense muscles in your body begin returning to their original state, your blood pressure drops and heart rate gradually slows down.
These stages are similar for both men and women.
Once males reach climax, their body goes through a phase known as the refractory period. What is this? It is the time between an orgasm you have just had, till your body is ready to be sexually aroused once more.
Experts suggest that the refractory period is shorter among young males and longer among older ones. Among young males, the refractory period may vary between a few minutes, to a few hours, to a day. As men get older, they may experience a refractory period of about 12 hours to 24 hours.
Experts also suggest that refractory periods may be longer once men have indulged in sexual intercourse with a partner, rather than masturbation activities.
After sex, most women prefer to share an intimate moment with their respective partners. Experts suggest that post-sex affection is closely interrelated to relationship satisfaction when it comes to female behaviours. This is a question of socialisation. Women are often socialised into believe that sex and intimacy are the same.
Women experience a release in oxytocin after an orgasm that makes them wish to elongate cuddling, kissing or indulge in loving moments with their partner.
Men, on the other hand, are more likely to feel drowsy, wake up, get something to eat as they want to keep the presence of dopamine in their body rolling as their body is not producing much of it after orgasm.
The peripheral nervous system is highly involved in both male and female bodily responses after sex.
Even if men experience tiredness after sex, roll towards your partner while falling asleep and not away. Throw in a quick, ‘that was great, thank you’ or an ‘I love you’ if you’re in that stage of your relationship.
Both the male and female bodies are at their most vulnerable after sex. Hence, one must take advantage of these personal moments even though both bodies react differently in a biological sense.
Amla powder consists of Indian Gooseberry leaves that are grounded. Ayurvedic medicine has used this remedy for decades to treat medical conditions like jaundice and diarrhea. However, Amla’s most widely known benefits constitute ultimate hair health.
Also, research studies surrounding this topic are limited; there is enough anecdotal evidence suggesting that curd greatly benefits your skin. For example, a review published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that fermented dairy products may affect the skin positively.

You don’t have to hop out of bed and into the shower right away. But gently cleaning yourself after sex can protect men and women from infections, like of the urinary tract ( UTIs ). Wash the area around (not inside) your genitals with plain warm water. You can try mild soaps, but if you have sensitive skin or you already have an infection, they might dry out or irritate the area. Men with foreskin should gently pull it back and wash underneath.
Some women think they need to clean inside their vagina after sex with water or prepackaged fluids. But douching can lead to more infections. That’s because it upsets the natural balance of bacteria that protect your vagina. The best way to take care of your vagina after sex is to leave it alone -- it cleans itself naturally. Also, keep in mind that a mild smell is normal and may not be a sign of a problem.
Along with douches, drug stores offer lots of wipes, creams, and sprays that claim to help you “freshen up” your personal areas. Some of them are made with harsh soaps, detergents, shampoos, perfumes, or lotions that can make your skin break out. Just stick to a gentle rinse with warm water after sex. And avoid scented tampons, pads, powders, and sprays, especially if you tend to get infections.
During sex, bacteria can get into your urethra, the tube that carries urine out of your body. That can raise your chances of an infection. When you pee, you flush those germs out. So enjoy some cuddle time with your partner, then head to the bathroom. If you're a woman, when you wipe, do it from front to back to stop the spread of bacteria.
Since it’s a good idea to pee after a roll in the hay, don’t forget to drink water . When you stay hydrated, you’ll pee more, which means that more bacteria will wash out of your body before infections can flare up.
Hot, sweaty places are the perfect spots for bacteria and yeast to thrive. So wear underwear and clothes that let air in. Women should avoid pantyhose, girdles, and panties that are too tight. Cotton undies work well for men and women -- they’re breathable and absorb moisture. Or skip underwear altogether when you go to bed.
It’s the best way to get rid of bacteria you might pick up from touching your or your partner’s genitals. That’s key to stop infections from spreading. Wash with soap and water, and make it part of your post-sex clean-up routine.
After you’re done with them, bacteria, viruses, and fungi can hang around. That means your toys could spread STDs and other infections. Clean each toy after every use -- check the packaging for cleaning instructions. It’s better not to share toys with others -- that can send germs back and forth. If you do plan to share, try to cover the toy with a new condom each time you use it.
Partners can pass these back and forth during sex. (Yes, guys get yeast infections, too.) So if you notice the symptoms -- itching, burning, or a thick, white discharge from the vagina or penis -- treat it before the next time you get busy. Talk to your doctor if you think you have one.
If you’re sexually active, especially if you’ve been with a new partner, it’s a good idea to get tested for STDs. Most of the time, these infections have no symptoms, so testing is the only way to know for sure if you have one. You can also watch for symptoms, like discharge, pain, blisters, sores, spots, or lumps around your genitals.
Sex is usually safe during pregnancy, but you are more likely to get infections like UTIs during this time. So it’s even more important to take care of the basics after sex -- pee afterward, wash around your vagina, and drink water. Encourage your partner to do the same.

A photographer captured more than 20 women’s facial expressions
Having an orgasm is rarely quite so public.
Introducing the O Project , an initiative by Brazilian photographer Marcos Alberti and sexual wellbeing brand Smile Makers to dissolve the barriers surrounding female sexuality—specifically, female orgasms . After recruiting 22 women for the project, Alberti took four headshots of each of them before, during, and after they orgasmed. They masturbated using personal massagers, but everything below the waist was hidden from both the camera and the photographer.
"On the first meeting [with Smile Makers] I came up with this idea, to show female orgasms in a very real way," Alberti said in an email to Men's Health . "No photoshop, no makeup, no acting, no interference, just real life."
The women he used in his project come from all ethnicities and nationalities, some from traditionally conservative countries like China and Singapore. Alberti says his hope is that women across the globe can freely talk about orgasming without feeling embarrassed.
"We are sending the message to women everywhere that this is not a shameful secret," he said. "This is real, it is raw, and it is beautiful."
It's important to open up the discussion around the oft-elusive female orgasm. After all, studies show that women have significantly fewer orgasms than men. Of course, you can do your part in fixing that—here are 10 tips to get her closer to the big finish. (You can try adding this Almost Naked Personal Lubricant into the mix.)
