Post-Sex Etiquette

So you’ve climaxed… and all of a sudden all the energy’s gone!. That’s not surprising, though; at climax, a flood of hormones rushes through the body making him in particular feel sleepy and tired.

But if you do roll over and start snoring, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity. Taking just a little time after orgasm can not only bond you as a couple – it makes it much more likely that sex will be good next time. Using that post climax time to get closer is a simple, quick – and incredibly easy and effective way – to get closer.

Post climax touch and talk relaxes both of you, and reinforces the feeling of being a couple. It makes her especially feel much more secure – and recent research suggests that in turn will make it easier for her to climax when you make love. But he too will feel much more supported and accepted with just a few minutes of post-climax bonding.

So do move close, cuddle up, stare into eyes, stroke each other. And do chat for just a little while - tell each other how much you enjoyed your lovemaking, and how much you appreciate each other. It really will pay dividends.
