After Sex, This is the most Popular Activity

According to new data, more than three out of five Americans fear clean-up after having sex.

According to a poll of 2,000 sexually active individuals, 70% of them don't feel comfortable going about their day without bathing right after intercourse, especially in the morning (46 percent ).

The findings revealed that 72% of respondents value feeling "clean" after sex, with males (79% vs. 66%) being more concerned than women.

After sex (53 percent), showering is the second most popular activity, followed by sleeping (54 percent) and laying down or hugging.

When there's no time for a shower, 73 percent will clean up with refreshing wipes.

Nearly two-thirds of individuals were first puzzled about cleaning up after sex, according to a poll conducted by OnePoll in collaboration with Intimina.

Now, 65% of people put down a towel on any surface before intercourse, and the same number removes the bedsheets and/or sanitizes the area shortly thereafter.

To avoid germs and illness, most individuals attempt to urinate after intercourse, as recommended by doctors.

Over three-quarters of Americans believe that sex is an emotionally bonding event for them and their relationships (78 percent ).

That's why 69 percent of people claimed their or their partner's menstrual cycle would not interfere with their sex life.

Intercourse, while at least one person is on their period is considered more taboo (68 percent) than public sex (37 percent), anal sex (35 percent), or threesomes/group sex (35 percent) (32 percent ).

Even while having sex, 68 percent feel that menstruation is nothing to be embarrassed by.

"Menstruation is a natural part of life; it isn't ashamed, unclean, or incorrect," said Daniela Agar, global brand manager for Intimina. "We are dedicated to assisting women all around the world in living their best lives and removing the stigma associated with natural events such as menstruation."

Period sex is the same way - women's bodies are incredible, and they can feel sensuous even while they're menstruating.

A woman's period should never limit her options; we think that during menstruation, women should be given greater options, autonomy, and freedom."

Above all, 77 percent believe it is critical for those whose partners menstruate to provide a safe and healthy atmosphere, especially because 84 percent of those with a menstrual cycle feel humiliated to have sex when on their period.

Cleaning up after having sex is more labor for 83% of people than it is on a regular basis.

People try to keep it clean during sex by remaining in the shower/bath (77 percent), wearing condoms (74 percent), or having intercourse in one position while they or their partners are menstruating (70 percent ).

To minimize unpleasant clean-ups, more than half of those who have sex when they/their spouse is menstruated (53 percent) use a menstrual cup.

Other advantages reported by individuals who use a menstrual cup during intercourse include fewer cramps (69%), higher orgasms (62%), and a shorter menstrual cycle (61%).

"Period sex has been found to have great advantages; it may cure cramps and functions as a natural analgesic," Zagar noted. "Orgasms can also shorten the period by hastening the process of the uterus losing its lining.

There should be no more reasons to lose out on all the freedom with the aid of menstruation cups intended for a comfortable period experience."

If you just got super sweaty between the sheets (get it, girl) you may want to consider sipping some H2O, says Nicole Scott, M.D., ob-gyn at Indiana University Health. Because BTW, dehydration affects your entire body—including your vagina. (Feeling like sandpaper down there might put a damper on round two.) Plus, staying hydrated can help flush pesky UTI-causing bacteria from your bladder.
