I never knew what aftercare was, until my friends-with-benefits left immediately after sex and I felt like I wanted to cry.
Now, it’s a non-negotiable for me.
What is aftercare?
Aftercare is widely considered a crucial part of kink culture.
It is the practice of caring for your partner(s) after sex, and can include showering together, eating, cuddling, talking, or even just spending time together quietly.
Aftercare is different for everyone, and it’s important to figure out what you need to feel cared for and nurtured after sexual intimacy.
