Feeling blissful doesn’t have to end with your last orgasmic gasp. In fact, following a climax, your senses are still super-receptive. That means, “you can make that sated vibe last longer by stimulating your senses of sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch after sex,” says Winnie Dunn, PhD, author of Living Sensationally. Try these simple tips:
Sight
1. Put peach-colored bulbs in your bedside lamp. They cast soft light and create that soothing after-sex atmosphere you crave.
2. Don’t cover up. About 50 percent of women develop a pink blush on their face, chest, and stomach post-climax. Seeing the way your body reacts to his will thrill him.
Smell
3. Lavender helps most people chill out, so light a candle with that scent, and bask in the afterglow—literally. Warning: If you feel you may drift off, skip lighting the wick.
4. A study found that the fragrance of cucumber increases blood flow to the vaginal area for some women. So spritzing this scent on your pillow before getting busy will keep your body humming even after the deed is done.
5. Don’t immediately hop into the shower—lying in his arms with that musky, post-sex scent helps you bond.
Sound
6. Passionate words are more effective when said in the left ear because it corresponds to the right side of your brain, which remembers emotional language better.
7. Listening to upbeat songs keeps your heart rate up, so you can stay awake to enjoy more one-on-one time.
Taste
8. Mints have been found to arouse men. So if you crave for more action, try reviving him with mint ice cream. For a naughty mint tea trick, check out this article.
9. Eating chocolate increases levels of the feel-good chemical serotonin in your brain—kind of like getting a natural high. So, indulge in chocolatey bites.
Touch
10. Your nerve endings are hypersensitive after sex, so have your guy glide his hands all over you. Body contact also causes your brain to release oxytocin—the “cuddle” hormone that makes you feel sooo good.
11. The warmer your temperature, the easier it is to stay turned on. Create a cocoon around your intertwined bodies with a soft blanket.
