How do people feel differently after having sex

Basically one of the things I would like to know is how sex makes people feel differently compared with before they had it. I would like people who have had sex to respond and tell me if they separate their lives into before they had sex and after it

And it it is life-changing

And also if it makes them feel more confident

Before sex: “I’d like to have sex one day”

After sex: “I’d like to have more sex”

Pretty much that. Erased ‘losing my virginity’ from the list. Wrote ‘have sex again’ at the top of the list using indelible ink.

I wrote “1A find someone willing to have sex with me on a regular basis, 1B explore new and different ways to have sex. As often as possible”

I did walk with a bit more strut in my stride for while after the first time.

I walked differently too, but the soreness went away after a few days.

"How do people feel differently after having sex"

I get sleepy.

After sex, I notice I become mush better at things like math and solving the world’s problems.

For about five minutes anyway.

The answer to the OP in song form: https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/snl-digital-short-i-just-had-sex/n12998

had a little hitch in your britches did ya?

I forgot that this song also played when I walked

Let’s put it this way. Suddenly I knew what I had been missing.

Just not better at spelling.:smiley:

No, no I like ‘became mush’, sounds truer.:wink:

Kinda sticky.

It goes away, though.

A bit conflicted (I pushed through, no pun intended, a moral quandry about it), simultaneously awesome, barely able to stand, and hella eager to make sure I did it again ASAP.

I thought the question was going to be about how I feel differently after having sex at any given time, not how I feel differently as a consequence of having finally had sex for the first time and no longer being a virgin.

The answer to the question I thought you were going to ask has bearing on the one you did ask. After sex, I feel connected to my partner to a spiritual degree, open and intimate and trusting and unprotected and it feels great. So: never having had that yet, but somehow sensing it, I craved it. And once I’d finally had that happen I felt less isolated, less lonely (and yeah less haunted by the prospect that it was never going to happen for me; I was a late starter)

I remember thinking, next time I want to have someone else with me for this.

Or perhaps more than one.

I am so hoping Hal chimes in.

We could all shear him on.

To be honest, I don’t separate my life into before-sex and after-sex. I’m not even entirely sure when I lost my virginity. If that means first orgasm by somebody other than myself, whether oral or manual, I sure as shit have no clue. I know who it was with, but I don’t remember the first time. First attempt at penetrative sex? No idea. Would have been with the same person, but there were a lot of false starts and awkward attempts, so I honestly don’t know.

Oddly, I do remember my first kiss. That seemed to be a more “flashbulb memory” moment in my life.

I didn’t particularly find it life-changing in any way. I still wanted sex as much before as after (meaning I was still a horny teenager and then twenty-something.) It was certainly more pleasant with someone else involved (most of the time), sure. But, at least for me, it wasn’t some sort of transcendental moment. It was a great bonding moment, yes. I did feel closer to my partner, and I am, in general, not a “casual sex” type of person.
