The
act of having sex during the afternoon hours of the
day as opposed to the far more common nighttime hours.
The term was originally coined in the 1976 hit song "Afternoon Delight" by the Starlight Vocal Band. Due its lighthearted musical style, the song is often misinterpreted as being one about the general fun and innocence of being
in love. Only upon close inspection of the lyrics does it become obvious that the song is actually about having sex during the afternoon hours of the
day.
