What is he thinking after a moment of intense question? It’s a question many women are afraid to ask guys because they dread the answer. Modern stereotypes would have believed that men want to do one thing: Go to sleep. But in our research, we’ve discovered that men actually do a lot of contemplating afterwards, and that what they want to do after sex really depends on the girl whom they just slept with.

Below are just a few types of experiences and the associated thoughts:

One-Night Stands               

One night stands usually take place under the influence of heavy alcohol, and a man is likely to wake up the next morning with a terrible headache and no idea where he is. He might look around, and then at whomever is lying to him, and think “Who is she? And how did I get here?”

After one night stands, men attempt to put the pieces together from the night before and they tend to ask themselves why the hookup happened in the first place? Questions such as: Why did I do that? Am I lonely? Take precedent in his mind. Because the thing about one night stands is that it’s an acceleration of a relationship, there is no courting in between love and sex.

It’s likely that once a dude wakes up from a one night stand, he’s think that he needs to get the hell out of there before the girl wakes up and he has to endure an awkward conversation. He might also be left wondering if he should call her again not to seem like a dick.

Girlfriends

After sex with someone they love, men tend to analyze their performance. Questions like: did she orgasm? Did she enjoy it? Are dominant on the mind. Unlike one night stands, there is a sense of caring and concern that comes with sleeping with someone you love. Men tend to examine why a women might have smirked halfway through the session, or feel embarrassed that the condom might have slipped off – which implies that he wasn’t hard enough or not well not enough endowed when it comes to size.

In general, the satisfaction of his partner takes precedence when it comes to having sex with a partner.

Friends with benefits

It’s likely that he’s thinking about his performance but not to the same degree that he would with a committed partner. He’s more concerned about getting off, and since there is a mutual agreement to be non-exclusive, he doesn’t really have any pressure to perform or to care about how it was for the other.
