Wtf is post nut clarity?
Basically thinking with a clear head. The idea is that people sometimes do stupid things when they're horny, whether to impress a girl or to get off or whatever, so "post nut" you've "gained a sense of clarity"
they also say never to make decisions while horny, and to nut before making them
i don't know if that's true but it's only a matter of time until people start attributing post nut clarity to all sorts of mystical shit
After orgasm, many men experience a drastic fall in libido. And with that fall comes realization of the weirdness of things that turns them on.
For example, if you have a weird and specific fetish that you find odd when you have a clear head, you might experience a sense of disgust just after ryou orgasm.
Derogatory phrase men made up to make fun of the women they sleep with.
"After I fucked her, and came, I realized I just fucked the ugliest basic bitch at university. Post- nut clarity is real man."
I dunno, I more often see this phrase combined with masturbation to porn the user cannot believe they masturbated to afterward. There is a sense of clarity following ejaculation, but it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with a sexual partner or their perceived attractiveness.
Edit: I’m a little sad that people are downvoting you. To be clear, I think your explanation is just as valid as mine. Just because my experience with the phrase is different doesn’t mean your explanation didn’t add to the conversation, and I liked reading it.
It comes from the "thinking with the wrong head" type of phrase.
TIL
Post-nut clarity is not just for the straights. You can get PNC after fucking other dudes, or even after fucking one’s self.
Ive always thought of it as more of a shot against the man than the woman. In your example, the man slept with someone he normally wouldn't, for whatever reason, and only recognized that fact once his desire for sex was satisfied. The woman didn't change in the entire situation.
Likewise, I'd say my choices in this area were poor, but had nothing to do with looks.
