Why do people like to smoke after sex/hooking up?

I'm asking because it happened to me after I hooked up with a guy. We just kind of laid there, and he just quietly asked if he could smoke (which I said no to) Whats the significance of smoking after sex? Is it a good thing? A rush? A feeling of satisfaction?

  • This is what the guy is thinking. My job is done... I pounded that out. She's gonna walk so funny tomorrow. Yeah, she loves my sex... hmm time to smoke and hit the sack. It's good to be me! She reaches over and begrudgingly says she want's to do it again. She's not sure but she had a lot of fun. No, sweety... let me smoke my cigarette first.

  • None of this matters. Obviously you have grown up with the hysteria, propaganda and outright faulty research that is the anti-smoking movement. If you are inconsiderate enough to deny him this minor and time-tested form of 'afterglow', then the odds that he will even want to fuck you again are dwindling by the second.

    • Oh please..

    • Yep part of the workability of this forum is you have the right to accept or dismiss what you choose. Having now been officially dismissed, i'm going to go take a smoke. Best of luck to you.

  • Me and my boyfriend both smoke. After sex a cigarette just finishes it off nicely. You should feel flattered anyway, sometimes, after crap sex you don't feel like a cigarette.
    After good sex, you're just like wooo that was so good, and your heart is beating and a cigarette feels ends it nicely while you wind down.

    • So, its a good thing, isn't it? Meaning, I was.. pretty good? :O

    • I would say so lol. After good sex is when you want a cigarette the most. After crap sex, it might not even cross your mind to have a cigarette.

  • Maybe calms you down even more

  • When someone experiences an orgasm, their body releases dopamine, which gives them a feeling of satisfaction or rewardedness. When someone smokes a cigarette, the same thing happens, though to a much smaller degree. Hence, smoking a cigarette after experiencing an orgasm causes an increase in dopamine, which intensifies the feeling of satisfaction and rewardedness.

  • smokers are weird... they have to do it for some gay ass reason. Makes em feel better.

  • Nope I just enjoy my pipes, cigars whenever I feel like it simply because I can and because I enjoy listening to the birds and nature while I smoke for an hour or so. Which is how long it takes to go through a cigar or bowl of pipe tobacco.

  • oh man.

    that reminds me of an awkward situation i had. hooked up with a girl, went back to her place. fucked. she takes out a cigarette. asks me if i smoke. i say no. she starts smoking. we lay there not saying much. awwwwkwaard lol

  • Certain activities make smokers need one. I don't know what it's like for them buttttt just certain things make them need one. That was wrong of you to turn him down. You could have at least said, "if you're going to, can you go outside". I don't mind when people smoke, I just don't want them blowing it in my face... or doing it in my car. Even if it's just a cig. the cops may not think it was a cig... and I don't need a record for "possession"

    • Oh nooo nooo :( No :( I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make it sound bad, now I feel even worse. The only reason I didn't let him was because my building has strict rules about smoking indoors.. even on the balcony too :/ (well, it didn't help we were both naked when he asked)

    • He could have put clothes on

    • Thanks, I feel horrible now.

  • i don't know... guys are weird
