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.

[Yes, good, that's the sort of reaction she wants; who cares about following an order or a patter, if this is what she wants to do to him first and if he's loving it so much he's asking her for more, than this is perfect for now. There's always later for everything else.

She remembers, of course she remembers, the times he's taken her over the edge like this, with slow strokes that rocked her to the core everytime he bottomed out inside her, with kisses peppered against her back and her shoulders. She can't reach that far up now, but she still presses her mouth to his skin, licking up while she rocks her hips forward, kissing when she pulls back. She keeps going, the same rhythm, same pattern - not as slow as at the start, but not fast either, because this is after all about the friction itself - and she can't keep her hands off him, or her mouth off him.

Soon, sweat gathers along the length of his spine, and she laps it up with a soft moan, reaching up to cover his hands, lace their fingers together.]

[ It would be a shame to hurry, wouldn't it? To miss out on any of this pleasure, this closeness, Mako's mouth wandering softly over his spine while her hips rock down against his ass as if she's already fucking him--Raleigh shudders, moving wantonly against the sheets without any thought but that it feels good and Mako likes it. He thinks she does, at least, from the soft moan she gives him and her tongue on his skin, her body leaned down against his, all motion and strength and soft, pressing curves.

He groans, wanting it, waiting for it, his cock aching beneath him, his fingers tightening inwards when hers lace with his to hold onto her. ] Mako— [ He pants, dizzied, his other hand dragging at the sheets, pulling them into disarray as his hips thrust hard downward beneath hers and the friction against hot, sensitive skin makes him hiss. ] Gonna come—

[dorothied]

[This is one for the history books, this is something she never wants to forget; the way he reaches out to grab at the sheets, the way his hips attempt an uncoordinated, desperate thrust under her, and he's so beautiful. She's the one above him controlling the pace of their hips rocking against the mattress, but he's the one with her heart in his fist, beating hard just because he exists, because he's here.

She lets out a shuddery breath against his skin, her free hand reaching down under him and wrapping warm hot around his cock, friction less rough than the fabric.] So come. [She presses four kisses, two to each shoulder blade, teeth drawing over bone because she can't stand how hot this is.] Come for me. [He's told her this countless times, and now she gets it, gets why he must say it. She hasn't touched herself this whole time, but she feels wound up so tight that feeling him come would probably trigger her to as well.]

[compatibles]

Fuck— [ The curse bursts from him like a hiss of breath as her fingers wrap around his cock, warm and sweet, giving him something to thrust into, more sensation, tactile and familiar. He braces himself and thrusts downward, into her hand, against the sheets, lost in how beautiful it is, to be taken to this state beneath her. To give himself up to her. Come for her, she tells him and he shudders. ] Yes. Mako—please—

[ Pleasure takes him powerfully at last, breaking over him so that he gasps and he moans, a raw sound, while his seed spills hot over her fingers and he goes still, shivering, absorbing the sensation and her taut weight above him. His hips jerk forward a few more times, the motion reflexive rather than deliberate and he stains the sheets but doesn't care at all, it's too perfect, it feels too good. ]

[dorothied]

[Beautiful, it's beautiful and why hasn't she done this before? Why hasn't she taken him to the height of his pleasure like this until now, when it's a breathtaking sight, Raleigh coming under her and in her hand. Making a mess of the sheets and moaning like that, like she just shook him to the core with a touch. Is this what he feels when he's inside her in this position, when he makes her come from rocking slowly until anticipation becomes climax? First chance she gets, she's doing this again. Maybe one morning, she can be the one who wakes him up like this.

But, oh, she thinks this would be even better when she gets herself that strap-on, when she fucks him in more ways than one. The thought makes her shudder above him just as he stops thrusting. A few more strokes, gentler, and then she lets go and runs her hand up his belly to the center of his chest, sliding up so she can lean over his shoulder and kiss him high on his cheekbone. What a gorgeous mess he makes.]

I got a little distracted. [The toy lies beside them, neglected completely, and Mako becomes like a cat, stretched along his back and pressing close for warmth.]

[compatibles]

[ It's a mess, yes, sweat on his skin and his breath coming in pants and his cock slick and aching, the muscles in his body easing pleasurably in the aftermath of release. Raleigh shifts his weight a little to rest it more on one side of his body, his arm curving under his head, and closes his eyes as he feels Mako curl up behind him, stretched out against him like she could bask in the warmth and closeness of him, and that makes him smile drowsily and reach for her hand against his chest so he can curve his fingers over hers and hold them there, above the beat of his heart.

So they both got distracted. That's all right with him. He feels wonderful, sated and happy, with Mako pressed against his back and holding him with her arm around him like he's hers to protect, his strong, clever co-pilot. ] I don't mind. We could go back to it sometime. [ Because he'd love to use that toy, still, he'd love it if she fucked him, but it feels good not to move, too, to simply feel her nearness. ]

[dorothied]

[She hums, shifting so that he's comfortable and leaning against her, wrapping her free arm under and around him as well, palm against the skin under his belly button, fingers tracing idle lines.] Sometime, yes. [Soon, is what she thinks to herself, and thinks she can feel it in the way he rests beside her, sated and worn out.

She finds the nape of his neck to kiss first, then lower against the first knob of his spine, her lips careful and warm and lingering. His trust in her never ceases to amaze her, never ceases to surprise. And it will probably never cease to warm her from the inside out.]
