facebook tweet

So what do you do when you're scrolling down your Instagram feed and you find wedged in between photos of cats and someone's "gourmet" lunch, a selfie of your friends post sex?

First reaction: scream, drop your phone, and stomp on it till the image is out of your mind forever.

The selfie has become a pop culture phenomenon, but could the newest type of selfie be a little bit TMI for people to handle. A trend that's now sweeping Instagram is the #aftersex selfie hashtag, where couples are uploading photos of themselves together after a romp in the sheets. Not exactly a time when anyone is looking their best.

In an interview with the Dailymail, Dr. Chris Chesher of the University of Sydney explains why trends like this even begin in the first place. "What happens when new cultural platforms come along, is the norms with how they should be used don't' exist until people start using them...Platforms like Facebook have been around for several years, so expectations of how it should be used have been gradually established."

While Instagram has been around for a little bit less time than Facebook, it's worth noting that it's not exactly a place to share your sexcapades. We think we can speak for everyone out there when we say that we'd rather see a picture of your cat, not a picture of your... well you know.

Most of the photos are of young couples in their 20's, (ahh to be young and in love) tangled up in their sheets, looking... well like they just had sex. But while there are the serious #aftersex selfie photos there are the jokers who have to make light of a somewhat disgusting situation.

So, after much nauseating searching we have found the ten best #aftersex selfies. Viewer discretion is advised.
