It’s totally normal to feel awkward after sex.Whether it’s a first-time hookup or even sex with someone you know really well, there can be this, “So… what now?” moment after you finish. And if something went wrong — or the sex just wasn’t that good — it’s all the more likely to feel uncomfortable. But if you’ve experienced that, you’re definitely not alone. How do I know? Well, #ThingsISayAfterSex is trending on Twitter — and there’s a good chance that you’ll feel better about your own pillow talk after you take a look at what other people have to say.
From the funny to the disturbing to the downright WTF?, there are a whole lot of weird things people say after sex.
