Can someone explain what aftercare is? Like it sounds like some of y'all are wanting a therapy session after the fuck and like, I feel like there's no way that's right cause that'd legit be wild but also I don't know what else y'all could mean.

To me, aftercare is just laying up with each other after, maybe spending a lil time together. At least for me, in relationships, I’d grab snacks and drinks (after cleaning up) and we’d watch a show or maybe even nap. I can’t explain for aftercare after a hookup though idk

For hookups, we usually cuddle after or watch tv or shower together

I cuddle with him for like five mins afterwards and then we get dress and he leaves

I can get that is it's a relationship I guess, though that kinda just seems like normal things to do if you're a couple tbh. Not sure why it even needs an extra name. But for a hookup like, I don't even know this guy. Why do I wanna cuddle? I just wanted since dick and now you can leave please.

I totally see your perspective and I get it. It makes me wonder that without “aftercare”, sex becomes a very surface level activity which sucks about hook ups cuz sex should be taken seriously.

Then like at that point is hook ups become purely meant for selfish desire and not the momentarily connection?

I feel like sex should be taken seriously as far as like consent and boundaries and things, but I don't think it needs to be wholly sacred. It can just be casual fun if that's what people want imo. Like if I'm at a hookup, in not looking to fully roleplay that we're in a relationship. I'm not trying to make love at a hookup, I'm kinda just looking to fuck. Like I need enough of a good vibe to feel like I'm not going to be harmed but otherwise, I'm not super concerned about it.

I am very social and talkative so if the vibe is rly good we might could have a yap sesh before or after, but like, that's completely superfluous and feels like a wholly separate interaction honestly
