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.
