JAKARTA - The term foreplay may be quite familiar to do before making love. But have you ever heard of afterplay done after having sex?

Afterplay is a romantic session after making love. Afterplay can be realized by kissing, cuddling, stroking each other, bathing together, or even just pillow talk aka casual chat.

Many couples do not do afterplay, one of them, because they are tired or lazy. Even though afterplay has an important role in maintaining the intimacy of a good relationship. The following are some of the benefits of afterplay that you can feel after making love.

Caring for intimacy with a partner

Believe it or not, afterplay has benefits for maintaining intimacy between you and your partner. You can take advantage of this afterplay moment for bonding with your partner.

After a passionate lovemaking session, afterplay can be a time for you to be closer to your partner emotionally. Therefore, doing afterplay is very beneficial for you and your partner psychologically.

Relaxation moment after sex

When making love and reaching orgasm usually the body becomes more tense than usual. Afterplay gives your body time to cool down and rest, so you and your partner can help each other relax.

Women usually take longer to relax than men. You and your partner can cuddle or hug to feel relaxed, and you can also take turns massaging each other gently.

Creating romantic moments

If you have a busy partner and don't have much time together, afterplay can be used for quality time. After making love, you and your partner can take a bath together or just a pillow talk to create a romantic moment. That way, in one sex session you get physical and psychological benefits at the same time.

Improve sex quality

When doing afterplay you and your partner can talk about each other's performance during sex. That way, you and your partner can get to know and know each other's desires.

Doing afterplay after making love will also feel different for you and your partner. Your sex session will usually feel more enjoyable.

Continuing the second round of sex sessions

Afterplay is done after making love, but that doesn't mean you have to end the sex session right away. On the other hand, afterplay often turns into foreplay for you and your partner to make love again.
