amyb Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 What does it mean when a guy says "thank you" after sex? (more specifically, he said it when he left at the end of the night, not RIGHT after sex). I'm not trying to over-analyze it or anything, but no one has said it before so I thought it was odd. Does it even mean anything at all? Should I even be thinking about it? Link to comment
Stay_home Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thank you could be in reference to the explosiveness of it, I guess. To me though, saying thank you makes it seem like it was a favor, like loaning me $5 for bus fare or something. Rather than say that, I'd just follow up with some commentary and cuddling.

Ms Darcy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 If he lays down $50 AND says thank you, then you should be concerned. Link to comment
TakingtheBlame Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 If he lays down $50 AND says thank you, then you should be concerned. Hahahaha. Absolutely. Context is kinda important here...like, how long have you been dating? Is this an exclusive relationship? Have you had sex before but maybe did something a bit, shall we say, kinky this time around which kinda blew his mind? Link to comment
dan10 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 well if you two are together then it could mean he felt like you didnt really want to and he thinks you were doing it for him. or he could have been thanking you for something totally different. i dont know how long it was between when you two finished coitis and he left but i really dont think you should even be thinking about this unless he says it regularly after you two are intimate Link to comment
sophie274 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 If he said it at the end of the night, I would interpret as "thanks for a nice evening". I wouldn't over analyze this unless there is some particular reason (other behaviors?) you're reading a lot into it. Link to comment

It said it was after sex. Link to comment
amyb Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 If he lays down $50 AND says thank you, then you should be concerned. LOL!!! Well we have been seeing eachother for about 3 months and we had sex for the first time a few days ago. We went out for drinks, then back to my place. I'm not really reading anything into it, just thought it was a bit strange. It did feel like he meant it as a "thank you for the evening" as sophie274 suggested. Link to comment

Sounds to me like he's a gentleman and he wanted you to know how special the night was to him (he waited 3 months for sex, that's pretty neat.) Link to comment
SongCoyote Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 As someone who likes to say and hear "thank you", I'd simply accept with a smile and not worry at all about it. If it didn't specifically sound snarky, ironic, or obnoxious, then it was meant as an expression of gratitude for time offered, shared, and enjoyed. And there's nothing wrong with it having been a favor; I do favors for my sweeties all the time in more than one venue, and thanks are generally appreciated. It really has to do with what you've been taught "thank you" means (or can mean), but again, if you can fudge away from your own perception (unless it's particularly bad) to the intent you may feel more comfortable with it. Still, not worth worrying about so long as it didn't include something like a $50 as the other poster suggested Enjoy the sentiment, and have fun! Light and laughter, SongCoyote Link to comment
ronhait Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 In my original post I said it was at the end of the night Oh yeah I read right over that! Then the other poster was right. The thank you probably had nothing to do with the sex at all. Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 My boyfriend says 'thanks' if the session was particularly great or if he was having a stressful day that day and the sex helped him feel better. Link to comment

Does it even mean anything at all? Should I even be thinking about it? he simply thanked you for a great night,that's all. "thank you for inviting me over" something like that. if it was right after sex,then he could thank you for an awesome experience,meaning he enjoyed it Link to comment
Jd1983 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'll also go with him saying 'thank you' for the pleasant evening. He enjoyed it, thank you - that's all there is to it. Link to comment
pinkelephant Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 i thank my bf after he goes down on me. lolll Link to comment
annony Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 My guy says "thank you" more for the over all experience, not just for the sex part. ie, letting him stay in my house, use my shower, eat my food, drink my beer, watch tv, or playing games with him. Link to comment
Calvin68 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Don't read too much into it. It's like after a date when the woman says thank you. I don't get offended and say, what, like I didn't enjoy the movie too? She's just expressing appreciation. If I were you, I'd respond, "no, thank you." Link to comment
