According to experts, if you want to keep your
lady parts in tip-top health there are three
things you should always avoid after doing the
deed.
And, while checking off a list of things you
should or shouldn’t be doing post-sex isn’t the
most starry-eyed way to end a sack sesh
apparently it’s vital to your well-being.

But why? Kansas-based gynaecologist Leslie E.
F. Page told Women’s Health, “When the
vaginal tissues have been lubricated, swollen,
and rubbed against during intercourse, it
changes how that tissue reacts to the
environment. Primarily, you run a much greater
risk of infection.”
Here are the three things you should never, ever
do straight after a passionate liaison.

Lathering up
If you feel the need to freshen up post-sex make
sure you don’t use soap. While it might sound
like a good idea, lathering up your nether-
regions can actually do more harm than good.
Not only could you have an allergic reaction if
your skin reacts differently to the chemicals in
cleansers, but “using soap can lead to vaginal
irritation and dryness,” says Robert Wool, M. D.,
ob-gyn.
If you do want to take a shower just make sure
you use plan old water, “The vagina is a self-
cleaning organ, and needs to be treated very,
very gently—if you wouldn’t put it in your
mouth, you shouldn’t put it in or around your
vagina,” Page says.
The most memorable sex
scenes
Forgetting to pee
It turns out that going to the loo after a bonk
isn’t an old wives’ tale after all. During sex
bacteria can get pushed into the bladder, “This
can result in post-intercourse bladder
infections,” says Wool, “You can have some
snuggle time, just empty your bladder within an
hour of sex.”
Having a hot tub sesh
A soak in some bubbles might sound like the
perfect post-coital activity but it’s actually
really bad news for your lady parts. Jumping in
a hot tub with your partner means that you’re
exposed to the bacteria on their skin and anus
while extensive water exposure can reduce the
efficiency of your skin’s antimicrobial barrier.
“When your vulva swells in response to sexual
stimulation, it reveals the opening of the vagina,
which means you have a greater chance of
infection,” Page says.
