Sex Therapists Reveal The 7 Essential Post-Sex Habits You Should Never Skip


What everyone hears about peeing after sex is true, said Sunny Rodgers, a certified sex coach and ambassador for the American Sexual Health Association. It’s a necessity.

“This is the first step I always suggest for right after sex,” Rodgers explained. “This ‘clears the pipes’ and can help dispel any bacteria or toxins.” Afterward, Rodgers said you might want to briefly wash up, “using a clean washcloth, gentle unscented soap and warm water.”

This essential hygiene step will do a lot to ensure comfort and help protect against infections, like painful UTIs, Rodgers said. An added PSA: Also remember to wash from front to back.

Choose breathable underwear.

Next, Rodgers suggested selecting breathable underwear from your drawer.

“Cotton is the best for allowing genitals to breathe,” she explained. “Being a natural fiber, cotton is also hypoallergenic, highly absorbent, and won’t irritate your most sensitive regions ― which are prone to heightened sensitivity and moisture after sex.”

Cuddle up.
