post sex mess!

i'm new here and new to this problem and need some tips. After quite some time of having sex using condoms, i've gotten in a committed relationship and no longer use them. I'm having a really hard time dealing with the "deposit" afterwards. It doesn't matter if I pee, shower etc. A lot of times about 30 minutes later I will feel that annoying trickling feeling in my crotch and need to change my undies. Very inconvenient if I have to dash out of the house after morning sex. How does one deal with this? Douche? Please help - i've never seen anything about this subject before.

Welcome to the world of unprotected sex! What you're feeling is normal and natural. Whatever is "deposited" in your vagina has to come out, and it takes it's good old time.
Once you're "upright" it starts draining, and depending on how much there is, it WILL take a while. There's not much you can do about it. If it's in the morning, try using a panty liner.
Whatever you do....DO NOT douche. That will leave you very susceptible to vaginal infections. The PH balance that protects you from yeast or bacterial infections will be thrown out of kilter by douching. The ONLY time a woman should ever douche is when directed by her gyno.....for a good reason.
Your vagina is "self cleaning", which is why "it" works its way out of you. You're not alone, it happens to everyone.
PS: Urinating doesn't help. Urine comes from the urethra, and has no effect on the vagina.

Second as far as I know there is nothing you can do about the mess....I always have the same issue and I pretty much have just learned to live with it.
