Afterglow?
 

Is this something women get more than men? Do men even get it at all? I know it frustrates my gf that I don't, especially considering sometimes she'll be smiling for a couple hours. But thinking about how much stand up comedians make fun of the whole guys not wanting to cuddle thing seems to make me think I might not be the only guy that doesn't get it. On the other hand, I am a cuddle whore and don't really fit that description ;)

"Dude you're glowing"

"I am not glowing"

"Yes you are dude, your glowing"

"Hey guys whats up, brody, why are you glowing"

Who knows...

I am also a cuddle whore... And I kinda get an afterglow...

Then again, I am kinda weird in many respects, so maybe thats just me.

Afterglow... I glow afterwards...

He gets all dreamy, but not glowy.

But the whole cuddling thing ends up being that we're too tangled to separate ourselves immediately. ;)

I'm a woman and I find that if I "bask" in the afterglow that I really notice it. Though there are times I'll hop up and head for the bathroom and then I don't really pay attention to it. Could it be that it's kindof more a mental/emotional thing? Where you have to stop and enjoy it to notice it? Ya gotta admit that you do feel good afterwards. It just may not manifest itself the same or you may not cultivate it. Just a thought.

I glow...I also get stupid post coitus and imagine myself in love with whoever I've just gotten down with. It's a fleeting thing, but for those moments following intercourse where I can't imagine myself with another person. I've gotten better at squelching it, it's gotten me into trouble before.

I once read an excellent book called "Afterglow" by Jason Pettus. Don't look for it, last time I heard it had not been published. Anyways, post-sex afterglow was a big theme. I wish I could remember mroe about it...

my husband glows afterwards and the next day, most of the time. That is, unless he gets a rough sleep.

I am the same way Sabrina. I was in love a bunch in college for the same reason. It took years before I could separate the two, then I feel in love with my wife and I don't have to separate them.

I glow, but i find guys and girls can smell of sex. not bodily smells, just a hormonal smell, does that count?

but yea, glowing is great to be doing and just as fun to see

usually.

she glows everyday. even without sex.

:) awwwww ;) ty

No...no afterglow.

I treat them as I wish and when Im finished I quickly become annoyed that they are sweating like a rhino in my pretty bed,

((You don't have to go home but you cant stay here.....))

I have been in long term relationships as well as..
heh short term ones,
and as a female I have never had the mushy,post fuck glow that I have seen on others.

I'm not glowing,I'm sweating.

Sure there is a feeling of contentment afterwards and a feeling of total satisfaction ((most of the time)). but it fades fast,I'm tired and I have a busy day tomorrow and someone should make me a sandwich....

I guess everyones style is different.
Meow.

I definitely glow for a long time, and I can say that sometimes when my fiancee doesn't, it kinda bugs me.

Mainly just in the sense that when I have really good sex and am totally satisfied and blissful afterwards but she jumps up and goes to the bathroom and asks if I want to grab some food and watch TV it makes me feel like she wasn't really into it at all. I can totally understand how girls get upset when guys roll over and go to sleep or don't want to touch at all after sex.

I glow, more times than not i suppose. I'm quite content just laying there, don't have to cuddle always because i know that he is near, i can just feel him. I almost always end up feeling about a million times better though. :D

Sounds like it is typical for women to enjoy a more euphoric experience after orgasm than men but not necesarry. I don't feel so bad then, especially with others saying they don't get it at all.

i've seen afterglow, but seeing as i didn't really respect the three women i've slept with (yes, only three total) i didn't have any other emotions than "i can't believe i let myself get suckered into this"

one of my ex's would giggle uncontrolably for about 10mins after she came.. 10mins or more if it was really good.. it was too funny.. ive never had anyone say ive glowed before.. but i love cuddling..
