Update: before I even had a chance to go home and ask her she had already forwarded me this exact article. Apparently we both read Jezebel regularly, heh. Also she doesn’t know either.

Before I even had a chance to mention this to my wife she had already forwarded me this exact article and said “we do this, why do we do this??” I knew she was a keeper.

Update: She didn’t think it was as funny as I did.

Im so sad i missed this article earlier. Stupid being at work!

I have never understood the TV sex bra thing. Is it just a way to show boobs without showing the entire boob? If you want to depict partially clothed sex, why not just some sort of nightgown or t-shirt? People do that. But who gets completely naked except for her bra?

' That seems right to me as well (hetro male). I have had few partners, and I don’t think I actually “hey” (I think it's probably more of a "mmmmmm" or something like that), but I think it's because the actual "sex" time (as opposed to the foreplay) tends to be a bit wild and afterwards, you need a way to transition…

We high five. Tell ourselves we are still young and awesome, and then listen intently to try and figure out if the kids heard us; all while the dog watches with a disgusted look on his face.

I like the therapists takes. I always find it kind of sweet; I assumed they were just sort of coming back to themselves and the situation and basically verbalizing that recognition of being back in the world with another person.

That’s basically what I wrote as well, people could do it for all sorts of reasons but it’s definitely why I do it.

Wait, I am a ladyperson and I have been known to do this. =(

We high-five. It started out ironic, but now it’s just another thing on the pile of Weird Shit That We Do That Now Seems Normal But Would Weird Someone Else Out If They Found Out About It.

God help us all now that you’ve thrown him back into the sea.

I used to sleep with a guy who would said “Look what you did” after he came. Sigh.

Or “m’lady” and a doff of an invisible fedora.

Ok, real talk; I will straight up admit to doing this. I have no idea why, though. It just kind of happens! Seems natural at the time, less so now that I’m thinking about it. (Great, now that it’s in my head the next one will probably be a self-conscious “Hey?” instead of the usual. That’ll be better.)

Having done this TO multiple men because it’s funny, I have no other insight to offer. Greeting someone as if you’ve just spotted them in a department store, immediately after coitus, is hilarious.

I fist-bumped the last guy I had sex with. It sort of conveyed everything that needed to be said.

My personal preference is “please clap.”

... both the bf and me say “hey” after (and right before) sexy times often enough that it’s become some sort of in-joke...
