When it comes to looking after ourselves with our sexual health and relationships we might be doing all the right things prior, for example our making sure our pelvic floor muscles are being exercised, eating the correct food, exploring our own bodies, exercising and being passionate and communicative to our partners.

What about afterwards, are we doing what we need to after the deed is done? It may be a quickie, a marathon or a loving romantic session but we have to make sure we look after ourselves and our relationships once the fun is over.

Here are a few top tips to keep your health and relationship continuing to thrive.

Cuddling – If you are in a relationship this is very important, it can lead to better levels of satisfaction between both partners. This is especially for women as they may feel a deeper emotion bond with their partner. It is understandable that if it’s a one night stand you may not be wanting to cuddle afterwards.

Talking – This doesn’t have to mean a deep and meaningful conversation or about what you did that day. Because of the Oxytocin produced after having sex it can make you feel more affectionate and feel more trusting towards your partner. It is a great time to talk about the pleasures you have both received.

Going to the toilet – Particular for the ladies, as the vagina and urethra are right next to each other you don’t want any nasty bacteria in your urethra which can cause a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and if you have been unlucky enough to have had a UTI you know how uncomfortable and inconvenient this can be.

In most cases it will subside after a while but there are a few over the counter treatments that you can purchase to help overcome it quicker for example Ural, which is an effervescent powder that you dissolve in water and drink.

UTI’s have another common name or nickname called Honeymoon Disease, this is because of all the action that most couples have on their honeymoon that can cause a UTI.

Touching – If you are not in the mood to cuddle you have to at least touch each other. With all of those hormones pumping through your body your sexual sensitivity is heightened. This can also lead to another playful romp in the sheets.

These are just a few little tips are for when you are in a relationship and not completely necessary if it is a one night stand or a casual fling, except going to the toilet of course. You may not be in the mood or that way inclined to start cuddling and talking to someone you may have only just meet and may not expect to be with again. These tips are ideal for anyone in a relationship or would like to start a relationship with that special someone.

Enjoy every moment that you are together, before, during and after and really embrace that wonderful amorous feeling all the time. It will add a special step to your beat.
