Is break up sex good or bad?
This is an interesting subject and one that has many different opinions. We believe there are 2 main elements to sex:
1. Physical
2. Emotional
These components can be treated separately or together. Depending on which element or combination you experience when having break up sex will determine how much you enjoy it.
Break up sex – Physical
This is usually when people report break up sex as being ‘amazing’. In fact 1 in 3 men in the UK describe their break up sex experiences as being amongst the best sexual experiences of their adult life. The reason is down to the acceptance that the emotional relationship with their partner is over. Once that acceptance is reached between both parties the initial physical attraction is allowed to take over completely. Arousal transfer occurs creating an increase in hormonal attraction between men and women.
As a result men make more of an effort to be attentive to their soon to be ex-partner in the bedroom and women have described themselves as being able to let go completely and just enjoy the physical experience a lot more.
Break up sex – Emotional
On the other side of the coin is the emotional impact of break up sex. This is when break up sex can be extremely damaging to one or both parties. It usually occurs when the break up has been particularly painful or hurtful to one or both parties. A good example is when someone has cheated on the other. Break up sex in this instance is rarely described as satisfying. Feelings of betrayal, jealously and anger all crop up leading the sex to be extremely negative.
Break up sex – Emotional and Physical
There is a third side to this coin. It is possible to have an emotional and physical connection during break up sex. If the break up is amicable and reached simply as a mutual statement that you are just not right for each other, then the goodbye sex can be amongst the best in the world! This is because you are both eager to leave positive memories in the mind of your partner. Sort of like ‘here’s something to remember me by’
Should you do it?
Hopefully by reading this you should now be able to tell whether or not break up sex is for you. Always think before you do it and as long as you think you can handle it, go for it!
