Could be you've lost the thrill of the chase. Sex is as intimate as you can get with anyone, kinda the end of the line, if you know what I mean.
Could also be that you're seeking a sense of self-validation... "Am I sexy enough that a guy will want to go all the way with me?" Sometimes women feel a sense of empowerment that they can use their sexuality to achieve certain outcomes on their own terms... problem is, sometimes we don't always know if our subconscious has a different agenda than what we consciously think we're after.
Your post-nookie emotions may be your subconscious/id telling you that you weren't going after emotional intimacy with this person, or that your motives might have been different than what you thought you wanted.
If deep down you're seeing their sexual attention trying to get a sense of self-worth, chances are you're just going to feel numb or even emptier or needier later on. It can be addictive. The only way to break that kind of cycle is to gain a sense of self-worth that's based on accomplishments, rather than on someone else's perception or approval.
Keep reflecting on this... you'll learn lots about yourself.
