These 5 discomforts almost everyone experiences after sex

Sex is always nice, whether you do it in the morning or late at night, whether you're tipsy or completely sober, whether you're tired or not.

And no, you don't have to do it often to have a good sex life. Better that it goes incredibly well in bed once a week than that you do it seven times a week and it's a bit meh, right? Good. Sex is different for everyone, and that's a good thing. Every couple has their own little ways and habits, and if you're single, you experience a lot. But awkward things after the deed? We can all relate to those: especially these 5 discomforts.

1. You're lying there naked, and then?
Okay, the climax is over. Great. But yes, and now? How quickly after the act do you grab your pajamas? Do you look for your lingerie again? Especially if you don't know each other for long, it's a bit of feeling each other out. Nice, just catching your breath together. ‘That was nice, right?’ But then you have to move on. And there's always that one moment of awkwardness where you don't know if you can get up yet or not.

2. You need to pee and you'd prefer to shower
Fun, bouncing, but afterwards you feel a bit... Different. You might have sweated, you have bodily fluids all over you... And then you'd just like a warm shower. But how do you explain that simply? Oh yes, you actually need to pee right after the bounce. Not very sexy, no. Awkward.

3. Brushing your teeth
Another awkward one in the category ‘I feel dirty’. After a bit of oral sex, you want to brush your teeth. But okay, that might not come across as very romantic. I just had your penis in my mouth and now I'm brushing my teeth; doesn't look very nice, does it? But you still want to.

4. Trouble with bleeding
You never know, but on some days of the month, there might be some blood after the bounce. Especially if it was vigorous and intense. Or it's old blood, a bit of brown discharge. Well, there are worse things, but you won't find it very charming if your bed is dirty. Good luck trying to discreetly hide that.

5. You don't know what to say
Even those first words after a bit of sex are so awkward. ‘Nice!’ Okay, and then? ‘What are we eating tonight?’ ‘Are you picking up the kids later?’ ‘Goodnight, darling.’ I don't know. It always feels nicer and more romantic and more in the moment if you say nothing for a bit, right? Just simply enjoying the moment. With your pajamas picked up from the floor, if possible.
