afterglow
As in "basking in the afterglow" - the warm, glowing feeling of bliss that lingers following orgasm after engaging in happy sex.
It should be clear that the affection hasn't really finished, but the physical activity is merely winding down. The persons involved should still emotionally focused on each other, doing things like cuddling, spooning, holding hands, making eye contact, and similar indications of affection, possibly also (literally) sleeping together through the night. If the partners have disengaged from one another, then the "encounter" really is over, and this tag should not be used.
Contrast with after sex, which is for graphic, physical evidence of prior sex. Afterglow should be based on the apparent emotional state of those involved. Also note that, while they can coexist, these two tags tend to be mutually exclusive due to reasons of conflicting mood and style.

应该清楚的是，感情还没有真正结束，但身体活动只是逐渐结束。相关人员仍然应该在情感上关注彼此，做一些事情，比如拥抱、勺子、牵手、目光接触和类似的感情表现，也可能（字面意思）一起睡整夜。如果伙伴们已经脱离了彼此，那么“相遇”就真的结束了，这个标签就不应该被使用。
与性交后对比，性交后是性交前的图形、物理证据。余辉应该基于参与者的明显情绪状态。另请注意，虽然它们可以共存，但由于情绪和风格冲突的原因，这两个标签往往是相互排斥的。
