Turning over

Once the sex is over, how long must you wait before turning over and falling asleep without it looking like you've just used your lover and now you're done?

Chances are that we all feel the same, that post-sex comfort is something we could all do without. That sometimes, post-fuck, one can feel sticky, tired and asexual.

And despite this, most lovers feel the obligation of a post-fuck cuddle (stroking of the hair inclusive). Perhaps a 'I'm shattered' quickly after the act is completed would ease things a little.

Then again, I suppose people today (yes, even Londoners) are polite enough to muster conversational butterflies and ease themselves into that sleep that way.

I've often wondered what it must feel like to wake up beside someone after a one-night stand and not know exactly what they do or who they are. Of course, night-before sex is often followed by morning-after sex, so the need for conversation is somewhat dissolved anyways.

When i sleep with somebody for the first time, I think I'll start the post-fuck conversation with 'oh, well that was good'. No?
