Rebound sex a good idea?

Question

Anyone ever had rebound sex after a long term relationship ended? Did help you forget about your ex? What happened in the end?

Answer 1

I had rebound sex after a long term relationship (two years ended). It was a horrible mistake for me. On the one hand, it made me feel real good and positive about myself. However, I also thought about how much I loved my ex and how much I missed her. In the EXTREMELY short term, it will make you feel good, but if you are sensitive, it will most likely backfire

Answer 2

Funny you should ask.

Married for 13 years and she decides to find another man. So in the midst of the divorce, sparated since last April. I hooked up with someone that I was really atracted to for a while. One thing led to another and BOOM we were in the sack. Maybe it was that I havn't had sex with another woman in about 15 years, other than my wife, we dated for 2 before marrying. But she rocked my world. So incredible we were like rabbits, up until I screwed up and said how long we've been dating. Then she said, things are going to fast and we need to just be friends. I'm like what? I mean she got off no less than once every time, most of the time she had multiples. We did it during lunch, in the back of a car, at the park on a blanket, in the parking lot of a resturant, my house, her house, you name it, we probably did it there too. It was passion like I've never had.

I just now got her back on the program. Turns out she misses me more than I missed her! It's on tonight baby!

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

When you break up you're in emotional turmoil.

Sex is a bonding act, especially for women. Women are hardwired to bond with the man she has sex with.

So if a woman has a sexual "hook-up" after a breakup of a sexual relationship she will be emotionally wounded deeper and harder and recovery will take longer and be more difficult.

Men will HURT the woman he "hooks up" with in a state of rebound. He's just USING her. Bad for him. Even worse for her because human females are hardwried to bond if she has sex with him.

When you break up either a marriage or shack-up relationship that involved sex, take "vows of celibacy" for at least a year or more.

Rebound relationships are very risky.

Answer 4

As long as it's clear that sex is the only thing and there's no expectation otherwise, it's fine. It's not so much forget about the ex as to realize there are other people out there - most of them are better than what you just had. NEVER do this with a good friend - it just kills the friendship. I did that and it was a NIGHTMARE. Otherwise, the outcome was no big deal - it broke the drought, so to speak, and helped me get back out there.

Answer 5

Rebound sex never makes you forget...it just gives you one more thing to remember.... In time you may even regret it....so think twice.

Answer 6

If it was a good relation or if it was just sex alone and it was good sex you never forget.
Good sex must last in memories until the daisies start poping up,
In the end she married some one else and I did too.
We were not compatible in anything but sex.

Answer 7

Any sex is a good idea, you're an adult right? Just practice it safely and once it's done no regrets! It helped me to get over my ex. Made me see that I never really loved him anyway.
God, there's some serious tight a s s e s out there!

Answer 8

Rebound sex is never a good idea. People get herpes that way, friend!

Answer 9

i did. and it didn't make a difference either way, i don't think. but....before you think about rebound sex or sex with anyone in general, remember that you are always held accountable for how many partners you've had. if you have sex with someone, it just adds another one to your "List".

Answer 10

probably not a good idea you can get a STD or something and after having such a meaningful relationship having meaningless sex would just be pointless.
