Sex is a naturally messy activity due to the kissing, perspiration, and other bodily fluids that appear during outer- or intercourse. And the likelihood of getting anything from stains to watermarks on yourself, your partner, and your bed (or wherever else you decide to have sex) is high.

Your first instinct following sex may be to get out of bed and immediately clean everything up, especially yourself. However, it transpires that's not entirely accurate. Anne Hodder, a multi-certified sex educator based in Los Angeles, claims there are no medical justifications for why someone would require a special after-sex hygiene routine for even the most basic of interactions.

Naturally, how this plays out during sex, your hygiene preferences, and your risk of contracting an infection all play a role. Therefore, even though there doesn't seem to be any urgent medical reason to get in the shower after having sex, it's still a good idea to have a post-romp protocol in mind. Your top post-sex hygiene queries are addressed below: Really, this is a trick question.

No such thing exists when it comes to vaginal cleaning. Even with sperm inside, the vagina is perfectly capable of cleaning itself after sex. Additionally, attempting to solve the problem yourself may end up being more harmful than helpful. Never — and especially never — use products that purport to "clean" the vagina or vulva! Hodder asserts.

There is absolutely no justification for interfering with the process (or the microbiome inside the vagina) with soaps, sprays, or other products because the vagina is a beautiful biological machine. How about the genitalia? Just rinse the vulva and let the vagina take care of cleaning itself. However, keep unscented baby wipes on hand if stains bother you.

Alternately, keep a towel close by and put it under you before it becomes too hot and uncomfortable. Don't rely on your top sheet because liquids might seep through it. However, if cleaning up after sex will make you feel more at ease because you are prone to irritation, urinary tract infections (UTIs), or yeast infections, a gentle rinse is acceptable. Hodder advises that gently washing the vulva in warm water wouldn't do any harm.

Peeing may serve as an alternative method of reducing the risk of vaginal infection or urinary tract infections if taking a shower seems like too much work (which, after a satisfying sex session, it often is!). Despite the fact that studies on this technique are scant or lack meaningful evidence, many people firmly believe in it.

According to the theory, any bacteria that may have entered the urethra during sex may also be flushed out as your body rids itself of excess fluids. Peeing after sex is not harmful, especially if it makes you feel better. However, you are not required to immediately run to the restroom after finishing. You can savor the after-sex glow for a while, Hodder advises.

You and your urethra should be fine as long as you urinate within a reasonable amount of time (there is no set limit, but 30 minutes is a good estimate). Keep a glass of water by your bed as a pro tip. Drink it whenever your body requires it—before, during, or after sex. This can make using the restroom after sex easier.
