Is Afterplay The New Foreplay?

Some experts say yes! Go beyond the O for sex that truly satisfies

You’ve had five-star sex. You’ve got a smug glow and you’re buzzing like you’ve had a double-shot latte. But then your partner rolls over and falls asleep. Or checks Snapchat. Or makes a sandwich. It’s akin to coming straight out of an Oscar worthy movie and into a too-bright, overcrowded city street. Staying in the cinema air-con to enjoy the experience a little longer always seems to make it that much better... And it might just get you going again

Yep, you’ve fired up your foreplay and found the elusive G-spot, but should you be making “after play” a priority? We’re talking the post-sex chats/spoon session/kissing/general warm and fuzzy stuff that deepens your connection after the big O. According to sex therapist Christina Spaccavento, the answer is... Yes! “For many people, sex isn’t just about physical release, but also about feeling connected and close to their lover. So for them after play is just as important as any other phase of sex.”
