Sexual experiences are exciting opportunities to connect with yourself and others. It can be a moment of intense emotion and pleasure, where everything feels good.

Aftercare refers to continuing to tend to yourself or your partner(s) following a sexual encounter.

Practicing aftercare can be a great way of ensuring everyone's needs are met after a sexual experience. Some of my favorite methods of practicing aftercare include cuddling, having my partner rub my back, and watching a comforting television show. While some of these actions can feel automatic after a sexual encounter, it's nice to bring intention to the experience, and deliberately check in with yourself and/or partner(s) to see what they need. Now I'd like to hear from you! How do you practice aftercare?
