the AFTERCARE meme

[meme_monster]

"Aftercare is the process of attending to one another after intense feelings of a physical or psychological nature, usually relating to sexual and/or BDSM activities.

Some sexual experiences can be exhausting, and drain the participants of mental, emotional or physical energy. As a result, one or all participants may require emotional support, comfort, reassurance, and/or physical tenderness."

HOW TO PLAY:

oo1. comment with your characters
oo2. include preferences 
oo3. roll and respond to others!

You can start in the beginning or middle of the sexual encounter/scene, but aftercare should be included in the scenario at some point

WARNING: this meme includes sexual scenarios that may be triggering for some people. Please be aware of other people's preferences, and ask if you're unsure!

1. Hug it out After a particularly rough tumble, sometimes the first thing you need is a good cuddle. Remind your significant other that you're there in the most simple yet sincere way.

2. Talk about it Are there things you want to tell your lover about what just happened? Were you uncomfortable about one part of it, or maybe you want to try and go further next time? Or maybe you want to resume to normal and just talk about the weather. Whatever sets you most at ease.

3. First aid It can be a whole lot of fun to be physically stimulated while having sex, but once its done, those red and blue marks might be a literal pain to deal with day-to-day. Rub some soothing creme onto those red welts, apply bandages or gauze for more severe wounds, and take care of your lover in any other way that might be necessary.

4. Massage Work out those tight and tender muscles that got all wound up during intercourse. Besides, no one knows your lover's body like you do, so you should do your best to make them feel good and relaxed.

5. Clean up Another great way to relax is to let water run over your sore skin. Whether in a shower or a bath (maybe you decided to up the romance and put candles all over the bathroom to make the aftercare even more intimate), it's a great way to come down from a sexual high together. 

6. Praise Some experiences can be tough mentally as well as physically. If you just went through a punishment scene together, it's important to let your lover know how proud you are of them, and that all is forgiven. Make it clear in no uncertain terms that once the sex is over, you still love them.

7. Take Care Make them their favorite tea. Turn on their favorite song, or read to them from their favorite book. If they hadn't gotten their release during sex, take care of them physically, as well. You know what makes them feel better, so do it.

8. Together Sometimes, all a person needs is to not be alone for a while after such intense sexual encounters. Watch some feel-good TV, eat some junk food together, or just stay under the sheets with your significant other for the rest of the night. 

9. Other Mix and match, or do something else you've been wanting to try.

[Well, it's hard to get less stereotypical than an evil space robot with a leadership fetish. Alice-nee-Pretender knew what she liked but it wasn't until recently she had a term to express it (a 'sub' was what Depth Charge turned into, right?) and a partner willing to indulge it.

It's a Decepticon thing. They love people who are good at grabbing power with two iron fists and then going way the fuck over the top with it. ]

Whoo.

[Her facial expression is a complete blank and her eyes haven't blinked in over ten minutes. Her CPU is far too devoted to keeping itself from going offline entirely to worry about faking humanity. She's reeling and she direly needs to be talked down from it before things go all blue screen.]

[ ooc | not too sure how kind the aftercare would be, considering the circumstances to shuck these two together. also not sure how you feel about aus, cause i know they're not everyone's cup of tea. #3? ]

[ ooc | can be giving or recieving, though being who she is and who she is an au of, expect her to resist a little bit. or feel uncomfortable. or all of the above. ]

[warmachine]

[ if the guys in his unit knew, they would probably give him shit for this -- and the 'probably' is overly optimistic, because they definitely would. the thing is, though, that he doesn't care. first of all, they don't know, and even if they did, it's none of their business and he isn't ashamed.

not when he knows how good it feels. not when he knows how much tony loves it.

he's got his face pressed into the pillow, breath coming in quick bursts still even though his heart rate is slowly coming down again. the sheets are ruined, but they're tony's sheets and she probably has a million of them, and frankly he can't bring himself to care about that right now, not when it feels like the orgasm was punched right out of him. ]

Tony?

[ he's not asking for anything, really, just checking in. getting fucked in this position is amazing but it also means he can't see her face (sometimes he figures that's why she does this) and he can't tell what's going on in her mind.

that, and maybe this makes him feel more vulnerable than usual, too, opening up for her like this. ]
