Feeling embarrassed after sex?

[Anonymous]

a lot of the time after a night of sex with my boyfriend (especially if we've been drinking) I wake up the next morning and I think about how I was acting and get REALLY embarrassed. I guess just cause I really let loose in bed especially after some drinks and I'm pretty loud and out there but when in real life I'm not necessarily a "shy" person but I'm not overly sexual or anything So the next day I'll wake up next to him and we'll go watch TV or have breakfast or something and I just feel really embarrassed cause it's like I'm a whole different person from the night before. What causes this? Is it normal? How do I stop feeling this way?

I felt like that for years. I think it's due to not being totally comfortable with (your) sexuality. I found that the more open I was about sex, what I liked, wanted, ect, with both friends and partners, the more comfortable I became.

Now, if a guy goes into detail about things I was saying/doing/how loud I was during a previous sex session, I will still get a bit embarrassed and laugh and ask him to stop. But for the most part, I don't wake up feeling embarrassed anymore. Just try to be more open and comfortable with the fact that you're a sexual human being :)

I have the same f***ing problem! I can't even look him in the eyes for a while afterward lol. I think it's because as girls we're always taught that sex is dirty and wrong and that wanting it makes you a bad person/impure. I'm pretty sure that's the underlying reason for myself. Most of my friends feel this way too.

You feel embarrassed because you were scared someone over heard or perhaps subconcsiously you don't really like your boyfriend. If you were totally happy with your girlfriend / boyfriend and where you are, you wouldn't feel a little bit of shame at all.

Actually I always feel stupid after sex, having lost $200 to a teenage hocker.
