Immediately following a great romp session you feel all sorts of things….bad but in a good way, tired and energized at the exact same time, thirsty but satisfied. It’s no wonder that, if you were put in a grocery store after an orgasm, you would come out with some pretty strange purchases. Your post-sex cravings have to do with both things your body craves, and your emotions crave. And hey–you should feed them both. Let’s be honest life’s hard; as adults we work very hard to achieve, like 15 consecutive minutes of bliss. So why not keep the good times rolling a little longer and hold onto that lingering after orgasm glow? Maybe you can even rev yourself up for another round. Here are the 15 best after-sex foods, both for your body and mind.

Eggs and toast
If you want a great night’s sleep after a great night’s orgasm (which is one of the most amazing combinations in the world) have eggs on toast. The protein in the egg and the fiber in the toast will keep your blood sugar stable so you can sleep through the night.
Pizza
Of course, if you want to continue being naughty, you and your partner can just turn this evening into a threesome with a giant, sticky, hot…box of pizza. In bed. The three of you. What more can I say? You earned it.
Pasta
Spaghetti that you feed one another. You can have a “Lady and the Tramp” moment after acting like, well, a tramp. In a very fun way.
Peanut butter
Peanut butter packs a lot of protein in a small spoon that will help you sleep through the night by preventing blood sugar spikes. But it’s also something you probably ate a lot as a kid, so you get those fuzzy, warm nostalgia feelings right after the warm fuzzy feelings of sex. Boom.

Bananas
You should eat bananas before, during and after sex if you can. Hell, make a banana split on your partner’s body. The potassium will prevent mood-killing leg cramps. If you love doggy style, you can’t afford a charlie horse.

Grapefruit
If you’re doing sex right, you’ll be dehydrated after. Grapefruit is extremely hydrating, and its scent is uplifting.
Cucumber
If you’re ever going to eat a phallic food, why not now? Oh yeah, and cucumber is very hydrating, too.
Coconut
Bring a whole coconut, with a little hole, cut out the top, into your bed and turn your room into a tropical sex oasis. Stick a straw in it and sip out the coconut water for the electrolytes, and then eat the fruit as a light late night snack.

A smoothie
You can make pretty much any kind of smoothie you want, but with some yogurt and fruit, it’s hydrating and has protein to help you sleep through the night. Plus you can easily put two straws in it and be all romantic.
Strawberries
Strawberries never fail to be sexy to feed each other, and they have a lot of vitamin C which will help you come back to life after a long romp session.

Hot dark chocolate
The warm milk will help you sleep, and the dark chocolate powder contains compounds that will make you feel super relaxed and happy (on top of how relaxed and happy you already feel).
Cereal
If you’re feeling lazy, you can both just pour yourselves a bowl of cereal. If it’s whole grain, then the fiber will keep your blood sugar level throughout the night. Plus, you just feel like kids having a slumber party when you eat breakfast food at night.

Pancakes
Another food that feels like slumber party food. Plus, you can bring out toppings like whipped cream and honey, which you may or may not use for your second round of sex later.

Mac n cheese
Aaaaah. The ultimate comfort food. Mac n cheese is an orgasm for your mouth, and doesn’t your mouth deserve that too?

Deli meat and pickles
Deli meat and pickles. Sex on a plate. The innuendos are endless. Plus, the deli meat is a fast, efficient form of protein, and the pickles are a calorie-free snack.
