I keep hearing about aftercare but I'm not sure what it involves or why it matters.

Aftercare is basically taking care of each other after intimate moments. It could be cuddling, talking, getting water, putting on music, or just lying quietly together. It's about transitioning gently rather than one person immediately checking their phone or falling asleep. It sounds small but it makes a huge difference in how connected you feel.
