The Post-Coital Bliss of #aftersexselfie

Technology is changing the way we do everything. For example without a picture, specifically one posted on your social network, nothing exists. Words are weak when there are images worth thousands of them. And the aftersex selfie is the nude frontier in this bawdy new world.

According to the English newspaper The Telegraph (link below), there's a new hashtag in town #aftersexselfie involves people posting a picture of their post-coital faces on social media, for no other reason than to share their special moment with the whole of the world wide web."

This, we fear, is another example of using Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, et al., as a means of presenting an envious portrait of yourself for the world to covet. Why isn't that me having sex? Yeah, well, we just want to let people know that behind every selfie is an exhausted, overworked, depressed and lonely individual.

That said, flooding the Internet with pictures of post-orgasm faces sounds like a lovely cyber-wallpapering. It's better than cats doing cute things or dogs acting wild or people's children or, even worse, someone's food. Yuck.

The article goes on to say, "Naturally, hundreds of people are now jumping on board. Lovers curled up in bed are no longer engaging in some intimate post-coital chat, they're reaching for their smartphones and snapping a selfie."

Well, good for them. And better for us. May we suggest documenting these joyous moments before and (especially) during as well as after?
