Scrolling After Sex

Becoming an adult in the 21th century

Scrolling After Sex is a portrait of the millennial generation. Through text messages, phone notes, and images, Lucía, the author’s alter ego, reveals her personal experiences with love and heartbreak.

Lucía is a privileged young woman from an upper-class family — a brilliant student and aspiring lawyer with a place at Columbia University. Yet beneath that surface of excellence lies a deep-seated insecurity she has carried since childhood.

She will have to confront her “daddy issues” to understand that her father truly loves her — and that other men can love her too, like Pau, the love of her life.

Lucía and Pau meet on Instagram. As they discover their shared sensitivity, expressed through small gestures — such as their mutual mastery of the language of emojis — they begin a relationship. Both grew up in an idealistic world from which they awoke upon reaching adulthood, realizing that life was not as easy as they were led to believe during their childhood in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Lucía’s journey moves from idealism to uncertainty, and from uncertainty to hope, reflecting the collective feeling of an uncertain future. The author’s inner voice perfectly captures the reality of today’s youth — torn between low self-esteem and anxiety, yet driven by idealism and the hope for a better future.
