First, it was Instagram selfies of the regular variety. Then came the Instagram try-hards and their legion of #blessed/#lovemylife/#LYLAS photos littered across your feed. Now, it’s the #Aftersex selfie. The idea is that you take a selfie, presumably after having sex with someone else, or maybe just your hand, and upload it to Instagram. Obviously this is a response to the national demand for images of unattractive strangers kissing and spooning to clog our newsfeeds.
The hashtag already has a ton of images uploaded under it, including a bunch that are inexplicably in the results but the hashtags are in Russian. I guess this trend is crossing national borders. Maybe we can get a post-coital selfie of Vladamir Putin and Yulia Tymoshenko to end the Ukrainian crisis? #AfterSexButBeforeInvasion? If more of our international diplomacy was conducted in the bedroom, I think things would go a lot more smoothly.
You can tell what kind of people are doing this. The worst kind:
Just do less.

#imhotyournot just bumped itself to the top of my queue for “Things that make me feel better about myself”.
This #aftersex trend would be more acceptable if there were more pictures like the last one.
