The Surprising Psychology Behind Your Post-Sex Snack

Sex is great, but have you ever had a McDouble after an orgasm? If the answer is yes, you may be surprised to learn your post-coital food choice might actually reveal a lot about you.

Whether you crave something sweet or reach for the Lays bag in your pantry, what you choose to snack on after a sex session can provide more of a window into your soul than even your zodiac sign or erotic persona. That's because it's basically your subconscious speaking out loud.

    Even relationship expert Nicole Moore says that looking at your post-sex snack can help you understand where you find comfort and joy. "People tend to be more relaxed and authentic right after having sex, so what they reach for as a snack can really give insight into their personality," she adds.

    All that to say, if you like to nosh with your partner after the deed, you've come to the right place. Here's what your snack of choice after sex means for you, according to experts.

    What Your Post-Sex Snack Reveals About You

    Salty Snacks

    If you tend to reach for salty foods after sex - like chips, nuts mix, pretzels, crackers, ramen - and it's not because you're salty about the sex you just had, it could be because you're practical, efficient, and maybe even down for round two, Frankie Bashan, PsyD, says. Moore adds that if you're reaching for a salty snack like chips, you're probably also not overly emotional. "You feel more comfortable keeping things surface level," she says.

    Sweets

    Ice cream lovers, this one is for you. If your post-sex craving is something decadent and sweet, Moore says you're probably the opposite of someone who enjoys salty things. In fact, you're probably very emotional - both during sex and in your personal life. "You're likely very into emotionally connected sex where you cuddle afterward, and you prefer relationships where you're so close to the other person that you just feel like best friends," she says.

    Fast Food

    Yes, in addition to the staples like McDonalds and Taco Bell, this includes greasy pizza from your local joint or anything fried from DoorDash (French fries, burgers, mozzarella sticks, grilled cheese, quesadillas, you get it). If this is totally your move, on the surface, you're probably very comfortable in your own skin. "You're not concerned with being judged or making a good impression," Dr. Bashan says. "It's pretty much 'what you see is what you get,' and you don't take yourself too seriously."

    But on a sex and relationship level, you likely chase dopamine hits. "You enjoy feeling good and aren't shy chasing what you want, just like you're not shy about eating greasy fast food that hits the spot," Dr. Bashan says.

    Breakfast Items

    There's something about homemade pancakes or waffles after sex that just hits different. If this (or any other breakfast item) is your go-to, you're probably a little nostalgic. "No matter your age, you likely have a youthful aura and have retained a sense of child-like wonder about life," Moore says.

    When it comes to your intimate moments, you probably prefer morning sex over any other kind of sex, but it also goes deeper than that. "Pancakes, waffles, eggs and oatmeal are comfort foods that speak to warmth, softness, and emotional intimacy, so you're likely less wild and chaotic and more intentional, tender and loving as a sexual partner," Dr. Bashan says.

    Hydrating Liquids

    Gatorade, BodyArmor, electrolytes? If you're drinking these immediately after sex, you probably enjoy all the sweat and gains. For you, sex is a sport, and you're down for multiple rounds. "You likely enjoy sex with lots of variety, changing sex positions, switching things up, anything to avoid things settling into a routine," Moore says.

    Outside of the bedroom, this translates to you often prioritizing your health. "You're focused on recovery and longevity, and you likely pay attention to your partner's needs, similarly to how you pay attention to your own needs by refueling and recharging," Dr. Bashan says.
