Some people love it, some people loathe it. I’m talking about doing some serious cuddling after getting down to business and, believe it or not, it’s a pretty divisive topic.
Let’s see how the general public feels about it.
AskReddit users spilled their guts about this topic.
1. Being honest.
“Very sweaty, very out of shape.”
2. Don’t touch me, please.
“To be honest, after a solid orgasm I don’t want to touch or talk for at least 5 minutes.”
3. Hit the showers.
“Too many bodily fluids involved in sex.
We usually shower after.”
4. This is quite a response.
“Because it’s hot as ball$ and we’re both more sweaty than a priest in a playground.”
5. Uh oh.
“Husband could arrive at any minute so best for my boyfriend to leave.”
6. Energy boost.
“My brain kinda kicks on after sex.
I wanna move and talk and do stuff.
Sex is a big productivity booster for me, and it’s tough to sit still.”
7. Makes sense.
“If I don’t cuddle it’s usually because I don’t feel any chemistry with that person.”
8. A couple of reasons.
“I’ve been with my partner for 12 years.
I hate my body and I hate feeling someone against me. Also he moves too much in a span of a minute he will move his head, arms, legs probably 3-5 times. Makes me crazy.”
9. Sensory overload.
“I used to date an autistic guy and he’d leave the room straight after s^x to wash and sort himself out.
I knew it was because of sensory overload but it still made me feel like sh^t.”
10. Not big fans.
“My wife and I just aren’t cuddlers in general.
We still love each other a lot and go really far out of our way for each other on a daily basis. We have great s^x and both feel very fulfilled in our relationship.
We have a great relationship and great marriage as well as awesome kids. Cuddling is just not our thing.”
11. Feeling guilty.
“I cant cuddle, I need to shower and look pointlessly at something.
Not really sure, need to process childhood religious guilt!”
12. Don’t touch me!
“If it’s any good the last thing I want is to be touched when I’m sweaty, tired, & just want to power nap/recharge.
If not, I still don’t want to be touched because all I want to do is clean myself. Plus, I’ve been told I’m a fairly violent sleeper. Kneed my ex in the ball$ in my sleep once. Don’t feel as guilty about that now as when I did then.”
13. Only on weekends.
“My girlfriend works from 5am to 1pm, and goes to bed at 8, so usually after s^x she just goes to bed and I go to my computer to game so I don’t keep her up.
We do cuddle on weekends though.”
14. Here come the zzzzzzzzzzzzzs.
“Even if I try, I fall asleep for some reason almost immediately after.”
15. Needs some alone time.
“After i finish i feel like i don’t want to be smothered, i just wanna go sit outside and have a smoke and maybe a stiff drink!”
That definitely gave me a new perspective about this question, that’s for sure.
Where do you stand on cuddling after sex? Are you a “yay” or a “nay”?
