For those couples that don’t know what to do with themselves after sex, have no fear. I have put together an ‘After Sex Survival Guide’ to help you through. Just as some people can’t find common ground with another person unless they are inebriated, some couples find they have most in common in the bedroom but feel awkward outside. There are so many things you can do to break the ice. But how do you know which thing to go with? What if you don’t feel up to doing much? That is ok. Just know that others feel the same way that you do, and here are some suggestions that are the most popular you can steal from.

First thing is first. Take your turns in the bathroom. You may feel the urge to pee and maybe clean up a bit. So don’t hold back. Take your couple minutes of privacy. Now, are you tired, like you can’t go on? Maybe you were tired before the sex and now you are just wasted. That’s ok! Give your partner that nice satisfied grin and one last kiss, and I am sure they will not bug you anymore. That look of satisfaction will make them think they did a great job, and they will want you to go to sleep so you can have those fantasy filled dreams they always hope you have.

Maybe you are not so tired anymore, though. What then? How about some food? Sex can be a very vigorous activity and your body may need nourishment afterwards. Grab some cereal, a bowl of icecream, or you can share some brownies! Whatever your fancy is, you can make your partner and yourself a nice snack. It will most likely be well accepted and make you feel good.

What about a bubble bath or a hot steamy shower? This could be very relaxing for you and your partner to do together or alone. Fill her up and sink down low. No one said that pampering yourself was out!

Maybe you both like a certain show, or can at least find a movie you both would enjoy. If you made a snack, grab it and find the couch. You don’t need to talk much to each other if your favorite show is cracking you up instead. So, no worries about trying to find anything to say. Especially if it was an “off” night.

Maybe it isn’t night. Maybe it is during lunch hour at work, and you went home real quick to say hello to your partner! Well then, your partner probably knows you have just an hour. So do your quick freshen up, and if you have time to spare but need to go, say that traffic was heavy and you don’t want to be late. Then stop by your favorite coffee shop and grab a quick beverage before returning to work.

Maybe you are a reader or a gamer. You don’t need to feel compelled to look into each others eyes and strengthen the bond by swapping secrets. If you are comfortable enough to use the bathroom, grab a bite to eat, and pass out… then I would say you will be just fine and it is time for you pass this survival guide on.
