Mistakes that you may be making after sex
Taking care not to do some things post-sex is important for maintaining your peace of mind and sexual health
Most people concentrate on following sex tips that advise what to do before and after having sex. But taking care not to do some things post-sex is equally important for maintaining your peace of mind and sexual health.
So, here are the top post-sex mistakes you might be making and need to stop right now.
Not urinating afterwards
Did you know that relieving yourself after sex can help you prevent developing a urinary tract infection? We are not saying that you rush into the bathroom right after the act and not remain in bed to cuddle with your partner. But holding your pee for too long after sex can do you more harm than good.
Failing to maintain hygiene
No matter how tired you feel after a steamy sex session, don’t forget to wash yourself. Leftover lube, sweat and/or bodily fluids can cause genital infections which might force you to avoid having sex for a long time, according to Bustle.
Not getting tested after having sex with a new partner
Knowing about your partner’s sexual history is all the more important if you are planning on going condom free for sometime. Both of you should get yourself checked for STDs, so that you can enjoy sex without any nagging worries.
Forgetting about birth control
The consequences of forgetting to take birth control are far too serious – whether you are in a committed relationship or not. Even if you are having a busy schedule, try to keep reminders or alarm alerts on your phone or leave your pills in easy-to-see places like your nightstand or bathroom sink. It’s better to be safe than sorry
