Have you had sex and then regretted it or felt rejected? You aren’t alone, and nothing’s wrong with you, either.

SEX: Sex can be fun, liberating and utterly wonderful. But not always. Sometimes it feels like something is missing after sex. Sometimes we think that it shouldn’t have happened or should have been different.

Women want closeness after sex more often than men. On the other hand, men more commonly want to get away, new research confirms.

The sexes also experience regrets in varying degrees and about different aspects of the sexual encounter.

“Women have regrets after sex more often than men,” says master’s student Heitor Barcellos Ferreira Fernandes from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. He came up with the idea for the new study that examines negative feelings after sex.

The research confirms what people may have already believed but didn’t know for sure, and it opens up an obvious follow-up question.

“There’s nothing new about some people having negative feelings after sex. But why? How can something that starts out good result in such negative emotions?” asks Professor Leif Edward Ottesen Kennair at NTNU’s Department of Psychology.

The short version is that although women and men are both interested in sex for its own sake, they are also – quite naturally – looking for different things in a sexual relationship.
