Casual sex is not as unheard of as it used to be. The dating generation is as comfortable with it as teens in the 50’s were with sock hops. The simplicity of internet dating sites have made it easier than ever for people to have casual sex on the regular. Causal sex is just that. Casually connecting with another personal sexually with no intent on forming a mutually exclusive relationship. There are many reasons for this type of dating. School, family and career are the biggies. With casual sex being so prevalent in society, no one really has morning-after guilt anymore, right? Wrong. The pressures of society and the morals instilled upon us when we are young often cause guilt after casual sex, especially for women. Women have been brainwashed into believing that having casual sex somehow makes you evil. There are several things you can do to help assuage some of the guilt your casual sex partner may feel the morning after.
You best bet at easing her guilt is to confront it head on. If you wake up in the morning and she has that look on her face, tackle it. Find out why, exactly, she feels guilty about the casual sex. Is it a real concern or something she doesn’t really need to feel guilty over? If she is feeling guilty because shes worried about what her mom would say if she found out or what the girls at work would think, you can gently encourage her to be her own person. If the concern is more serious, help her find a way to deal with it and possible solutions to her guilt.
Snuggling up to her in bed before anyone says a word is a great way to take away dome of the guilt. The feel of you next to her and your arms around her will remind her of why she is doing this to begin with. Being physically close to and touching someone you like is helpful in all kinds of situations according to psychologists everywhere. Physical contact, hugging, snuggling and cuddling, can heal a lot of wounds. Women love to cuddle and a little morning after cuddle can go a long way in letting her know exactly how appreciative you are for your relationship.
When guilt sets in, it’s a good time for a relaxing hot bath or shower. It gives you the opportunity to talk quietly and enjoy the warm soothing water. Soapy caresses and tender kisses can help assuage the guilt of the morning after. Dry her off with a big, warm fluffy towel and a few kisses and all will be right with the world. The idea is spending the same type of time with her when the morning after arrives as when you were jumping in the sack. If she knows you feel the same way about her before and after, it is proof positive that you really are friends.
It’s ok to say thank you. It might seem weird at first thought, to thank someone for sex but its just common courtesy to someone you like enough to sleep with. Of course, you should word it a little differently and have great timing but a simple thank you helps ease the guilt. Just tell her you had a great time with her and thank her for being part of it. Feeling appreciated is something everyone craves. Teachers, parents, siblings, coworkers and everyone in your life respond well when they feel appreciated. Why wouldn’t she? The key is not to change your relationship after sex. Keep the same attitude and outlook that you have always had. Changing can bring out awkward feelings and spawn guilt and regret.
Go ahead and set up another time to meet before she leaves. Let her know that you still feel the same as always and your looking forward to seeing her again. Ask her where she might like to go and what she might like to do. Make jokes, compliment her and make sure she knows how much you appreciate her presence in your life.
Feeling guilty about casual sex is basically just falling victim to societies limited and stifling views. In this age of the new millennium much emphasis is placed on individual happiness and following your own path to happiness. Now is the time, brother. Let your sex buddy know that you respect her being her own person and letting you be a part of that. Appreciation, respect and communication are essential in fighting off the guilt that can come creeping in after a casual sex night. Help her get past the guilt by being the great guy you really are.
