Nobody’s brain is exactly high functioning right after an orgasm. All sorts of hormones are flooding our bodies, including some that make us sleepy, some that make us depressed, some that make us feel more emotionally bonded to our partner, and more. If you ask me, in addition to not driving after consuming alcohol or taking painkillers, we also shouldn’t drive immediately after an orgasm. Our brains are all foggy and we just don’t have the command over our limbs that we normally have—sounds kind of like the effects of drugs, right? Well, it is, which is why we can make some mistakes right after sex. From practical to physical to emotional, there are some actions you just shouldn’t take post-coitus unless you want a literal or figurative mess on your hands. Here are things you’re doing wrong right after sex.
