Science says it's good to sleep with your ex
That's right: Go ahead!
When you break with someone for rational reasons (They deceived youYou do not have the same values, that kind of thing) rather than emotions, the desire to continue to see each other and sleep together can be really overwhelming. It does not help that the breakank sex is often quite remarkable, since the kind of anxiety, desperate love-do you have when you know you may never be physically intimate again.Well-I-Guess - There is nothing - better to do sex you haveWhen you came out of the shows on Netflix.
But society tells us that this type of behavior is extremely unhealthy for your emotion. And if you say that you are friends, you sleep with your ex, they will probably react as if you are a person who has trouble depending on the drug, I try to score another shot.
Now, aNew published study in theSexual behavior archivessaid that, in fact, having sex with an ex does not interfere with the move process, even when a part continues to pinch for the other.
Researchers analyzed the daily experiences of 113 people who have recently experienced a break, then followed it with them two months later to find out if they had had physical contact with their ex, how they felt the next day They ended up sleeping together and how much they always attached emotionally. In another experiment, they asked 372 people to report their attempts with sex with an ex, as well as their emotional attachment levels.
In both experiments, researchers have surprisingly found that physical intimacy left people feeling more positive in everyday life and did not seem to hinder their ability to move from the relationship.
"This research suggests that the social handle of trying to have sex with an EX can not be justified,"
"The fact that sex with an ex be found to be the most eagerly pursued by those who have difficulty reproducing themselves suggest that we might should rather assess more crucially the motivations of people behind the continuation of sex with an ex."As the study finds that "about 27% of young adults aged 17 to 24 reported having sex with an EX over the last 2 years", which means that it is not uncommon. The study also admits that "the feelings of sexual desire of the ex-partner can be even stronger during this post-rupture phase that when the relationship was intact due to an increase in levels of relational uncertainty And perhaps reduced sexual access to the ex- partner. " But their conclusion, on the basis of studies, is "only sex with an ex does not necessarily interfere with the recovery of rupture and can sometimes be beneficial."
To be sure, the study involves several limitations, including the fact that the results are self-reported, so participants would have been able to say what they wanted to be true instead of how they felt deeply. However, it finally notes that "while this research does not necessarily advocate to pursue sex with an ex follow-up - and, in fact, we do not know which long-term implications could be continued on sexual pursuit. ex-partners, in particular once one or both partners seek new relationships or those who continue to purse after ex-partners for an extended period, it can actually be advantages to continue sexual pursuit short term. "
Of course, it's hard to generalize when it comes to sex. And at the end of the day, you must be honest with yourself on how you feel. If you sleep with your ex, you feel in the broken heart and rejected, there is no reason to torture you. If, however, it gives you a closure, thenGo to the violation, Dear friend.
