I know most people think it's a bad idea, but you and I both know it still happens all the time...2 people break up, and then continue to have sex. I'm wondering, if there's still some sexual tension there, and you both have completely gotten over each other...what's so bad about having sex with your ex boyfriend or girlfriend? Why not just use each other sexually for the time being and enjoy it? Anyone have some experience with this they'd like to share?

STAY AWAY FROM THIS!!! This should be a PSA on national television. Sex with the ex might sound all dandy but just wait for the fallout when one of you develops feelings again. It's time to move on. Find yourself a new person to sex it up with. It will be more fun and interesting anyways.

It's always gonna end badly. Someone will always get hurt, and its really just keeping the two people from moving on with their lives. That being said, some of the best sex I've ever had has been with ex-girlfriends I recently broke up with. Relationships (esp. bad ones) but soo much stress and pressure on the two people involved, that the sex can get stale, and boring. Once you've broken up, and spent a little time apart from the person...those sexual urges come back. For me, when we would hook up, it was like a free for all, anything goes. It was more exciting, more experimental, more fun. Still not saying it's a good idea, because you ultimately know it's not....but it sure can be fun!

I had sex with my ex two years after we broke up, and he used to know my every move, my every button, my every turn on, and he forgot them all. It was horrible sex. We also ended up having anal sex, because I wanted to try it out, but neither of us were sober, and I ended up hurting myself.
Ex sex has never been good for me. But to each their own, right? Some people might find it amazing. I find it... awkward and a reminder of all the reasons why we broke up.
In terms of why to do it: perhaps because it's safe? Maybe you are more comfortable with the devil you know, and its easier to go back to what's comfortable and familiar than venture out into the dangerous dating world. Maybe you trust your ex, and know you won't get date raped, or rejected, or be incompatible with them. Maybe you feel that they have already hurt you emotionally, and its easier to be sexual with the person who has hurt you, and you survived vs starting out in a new relationship that's uncomfortable and unsure. Just some ideas.

Does this not distract you from getting out and meeting other people, especially once you start reminiscing...

From my experience it is bad.
The sex, while good, keeps bringing you back to the broken relationship. Then every time you have to disentangle yourself from that wreckage not only do you hurt yourself but you make what is left of the relationship worse and harder to escape the next time.
If it has been a while, and you are truly both over each other there is probably less harm that can be done but it will always have some baggage attached.

It takes a while for both people to fully get over each other, so I'm not sure this is even a realistic scenario. But, I think that this is almost always a BAD idea. One (possibly both) of you were probably hurt really bad by the the breakup. Doing this will inevitably lead to a painful outcome for someone again, and usually its the person who was already hurt the worst by the breakup. Double the pleasure, double the pain.

I think it's all dependent on that whole 'completely over each other' part! That's a pretty big if, lol, especially for BOTH of them to be over it. And then there's the issue that most people do become emotionally involved with someone they're sleeping with... note that I say people and not just women! It's a sword that cuts both ways, so sex with an ex is a touchy balancing act.
With that said, most of us have done it and will probably do it again, me included lol. You just have to hope you don't get burned!
