Short description: Sexual term

Post-nut clarity is a term describing the feeling of being clear-headed or mentally "reset" after orgasm in sexual intercourse or masturbation.[1] Feelings of disgust with oneself, as well as guilt, have also been associated with the term.[2][3]

The word "nut" is found in the slang phrase busting a nut, which refers to an orgasm.[4] The term "post-nut clarity" has been noted to be particularly used in online discussions.[2][3][5] The term has been spuriously credited to Alexandra Cooper and Sofia Franklyn of the Call Her Daddy podcast,[3] though the term's usage and discussion on Reddit has been documented to predate the podcast.[5]

Media coverage of post-nut clarity often associates men with being able to anecdotally relate to having experienced it,[6] though women have also been documented experiencing the phenomenon.[4]
