What’s appropriate behavior after sex?
“You don’t want to do anything that suggests a wham-bam-thank-you-M’am, [like] turning on Sports Center right after you finish or getting up and leaving the apartment immediately afterward. Both of those things are going to signal that the act was all you were looking for and that was it,” Post says.

Just how long do you need to wait post-sex to get out of bed? Kerner elaborates:

“You definitely don’t want to interrupt the mood for the first two or three minutes after orgasm. The first three minutes are really the stay connected, stay cuddled zone, then after that you can do whatever you want,” Kerner says.

Do I have the right to spend the night after a hookup?
It may seem like a hookup qualifies you for a pillow and a fair share of his comforter, but not necessarily.

“Don’t assume that you’re welcome to stay the night; that’s something that you should get a feel by how the person’s acting afterward. And that goes for couples too. There have been plenty of times where I’ve been like, ‘Honey, this is great but I really do need to get up early tomorrow and I need to sleep at my place with my things,’” Post says.
