Why do people vape after sex? Find out how e-cigs are changing the way we get our post-coital nicotine.
In this article...
Vaping after sex is becoming increasingly popular. Why? Well the answer is quite simple. Traditionally it was/is quite normal for couples to enjoy a cigarette after Sex. With more people making the switch to vaping, cigarettes are being ditched for e-cigs instead.
Below I am going to take a look at reasons why e-cigs are changing the way people get nicotine after sex.
Why Do People Smoke After Sex?
There are many reasons why people smoke after sex. Just some of them can include:
- Relaxation
Smoking after sex can help to relax the body. The nicotine buzz can also reduce the refractory period in-between orgasms. This means the desire for intercourse can return quickly, getting you in the mood more quickly.
This serves to enhance both of your experiences and is a common reason why people smoke after sex.
- Retrospection
Smoking shortly after having sex can also help you bond with your partner in a more intimate way. It presents a chance to have a deeper conversation and strengthen your relationship, even making it more intimate.
Alternatively there is a chance to simply enjoy the peaceful quiet that comes afterward, and enjoy spending some time relaxing with your significant other, reflecting on what just happened.
- Habit
Like anything that is considered ‘routine’, smoking after sex can simply be a habit that is as natural as smoking after a meal or when having a drink. Spending additional time without having a smoke can also enhance cravings for nicotine.
Regardless of how you view it, smoking can simply just go hand in hand with certain activities. Sex being one of them.
- A Buzz From Nicotine
Receiving nicotine after sex can provide an extra buzz. With all the hormones still settling down, the addition of nicotine can enhance that satisfying feeling experienced after sex. As noted above, the nicotine buzz you get can also help to get your and your partner in the mood again more quickly.
Is Vaping After Sex The Same?
Largely, yes. E-cigs can provide that very same nicotine buzz that smoking does, but in a less harmful way. Vaping is a very good substitute for smoking after sex, and satisfies your craving for nicotine.
Just like smoking, it can relax your body and provide your brain with the same sensory feeling you get with cigarettes. Vaping does not contain any smoke, so you will not have to deal with the aftertaste or smell associated with smoking.
This being said, vaping is not quite as addictive as cigarettes, with less people craving a vape after sex compared to cigarettes. This data was complied from Reddit. People were asked whether post-sex vaping compared to the post-sex smoke, and responses seemed to be mixed.
The Benefits Of Switching From Smoking To Vaping
Vaping offers people a way to get the nicotine they need, without the 4000+ harmful chemicals found in cigarettes.
Aside from the obvious smell and damage smoking causes, vaping helps you control the nicotine intake. With various e-liquid strengths, including zero nicotine, vaping allows people to break free from the chains of smoking for good.
Smoking can have an impact on your sex life, whereas vaping (as far as we know) does not. Studies show[1] that even smoking 2 cigarettes could lead to impotence, so it is well worth considering making the switch!
