afterplay
Intimacy following climax
Afterplay is physical intimacy following sex—the cuddling, caressing, and quiet conversation that comes after orgasm.
The term mirrors foreplay, marking the transition from sexual activity back to ordinary closeness.
She values afterplay as much as the sex itself.
