8 Things You Should Never Say Right After Sex

There are many things you should never, ever, EVER say to a dude after you’ve gotten it on with him—like, no matter what. Check out some of the worst things a lady can say post-sex from real people and relationship experts.

1. “The worst thing a woman can say to a man after sex is, ‘That was nice.’ Sex isn’t supposed to be ‘nice’—it’s sex. Anything short of ‘wow’ and a guy will think he didn’t perform well.” —Thomas Edwards,

2. “The worst thing you can ever say or talk about to a guy after sex is mentioning anything remotely about, related to, or concerning his mother . It will deflate that mood in less than a nanosecond. Trust me, I’m guilty as charged.” —Tanya T



3. “‘OK. You can leave now.’ Kind of heartless. Also—bossy.” —Amy Schoen
4. “‘We have to hurry, my boyfriend will be here soon.'” —Terri



5. “‘That’s not what I expected.’ This line can be crushing because it hits at the core of a man’s self-image.” —William Cane

6. “The worst thing a woman can say to a guy after sleeping with him is anything in comparison to anyone else she’s been with. Guys don’t want to hear any of that, good or bad. As a couple’s therapist, I’ve seen this cause unnecessary fights and relationship trouble—keep your focus on him!” — Rachel Thomasian

7. “Never say, ‘I wish you could’ve lasted longer.’ This will only add pressure, it won’t solve the problem.” — Adam LoDolce

8. ‘I love you but I’m not in love with you.’ It’s a non-sensical and meaningless phrase which hurts, but doesn’t clarify anything. It also indicates that the sayer of it doesn’t have a clue what love is—not that anyone can define love for the rest of us.” —Russell Friedman
