About
Post-Nut Clarity is a slang term used to describe a calm, clear and alert state of mind said to be achieved after orgasm. The phrase came into popular use in the 2010s, with the earliest uses of the term being traced back to Reddit and Twitter. Memes about post-nut clarity often revolve around male perceptions of their partners after orgasm, or one's increased ability to perform complex tasks after orgasm.
Origin
On February 13th, 2006, Urban Dictionary[1] user L Madsen posted a version of the phrase in question, made to read, "Post Cum Clarity," and described it as "The state of mind that comes to a male instantly after orgasm and ejaculation from sex or masturbation." The post gathered over 330 likes in over 17 years (seen below).
