At the moment of breaking up, the two should go their separate ways, like two parallel lines, never to intersect again. But in reality, there are always people who regret uttering the word “breakup.” Even though they no longer love their former lovers, they still feel lingering attachments and find it hard to let go.
When you’ve made up your mind not to look back, a phone call, a few sweet words, or reminiscing about the past can lead you back into the abyss of the past, making it difficult to break free from the previous relationship. Even though you know the love is gone and sex can be rekindled, it can still drag you back into the abyss of the past, making it hard to move on from the previous relationship.
Do men have sex with their exes solely for pleasure?
After a passionate reunion with an ex, many girls are left with endless fantasies, hoping to rekindle the flame. Intimate contact reminds them of past sweetness, instantly forgetting the heated arguments of the breakup, or the silent stares at their phones. After the intimacy, it’s as if they’ve rediscovered the lost feeling. They assume their ex feels the same way, only to find it’s all wishful thinking on their part. Crying and begging for reconciliation usually only earns them a cold response.
Intimate contact after a breakup has very different meanings for men and women. Several psychologists recently published a paper on “sex after a breakup” on the website SAGE Journals. The study included 212 college students who had sex with their exes within two weeks of a breakup, exploring their reasons, mindset and feelings about having sex with their exes.
Research shows that men engage in sexual activity with their exes primarily for pleasure, to satisfy their sexual desires, and experience little emotional change afterward. Women, on the other hand, have relationships with their exes based on emotional connection; they are often reluctant to let go and nostalgic. After the act, their feelings towards their exes become more confused, and they may even develop a deep attachment to their former partners, becoming increasingly entangled in the past relationship.
Can having sex after a breakup alleviate the pain of heartbreak?
The ideal way to end a relationship is probably a “peaceful breakup.” If only one party initiates the breakup, the “broken-in” party may try every means to win the other party back, and may even use sex to “tie” the other party to their side, creating “false hope” for themselves.
Joel Block, a psychologist who has studied relationships, pointed out in Women’s Health that sex after a breakup can help alleviate the pain of heartbreak. He noted that “sexual contact after a breakup can rekindle the passion for each other and ease the tension in the relationship after a breakup.”
He further pointed out that if you previously lived with your ex, living separately after a breakup might lead to feelings of loneliness, and sexual contact with your ex could alleviate these feelings. Intimacy after a breakup might be a way to numb the pain of heartbreak, but once the anesthesia wears off, you’ll still remember why you broke up in the first place, and after the brief period of happiness, you still won’t see a future for yourself and him.
The more you indulge in something, the more painful it may be to be forced to break free than to experience heartbreak.
The Women’s Health report also outlined five major downsides of having an intimate relationship with an ex:
1. Relying on the other party again
Relationship psychologist Joel Block says that frequent physical intimacy with an ex can gradually lead to feelings for them and a slow dependence on them. When you long to get back together, but they only want to maintain a physical relationship, it can be very painful.
2. You may experience heartbreak again.
Psychology PhD Jessica O’Reilly bluntly states that being intimate with an ex might lead to being swept away by passion and getting back together, only to face the same old disagreements again, and then break up because you can’t stand it anymore, causing you to experience heartbreak once more.
3. Prevents you from moving on.
According to relationship psychologist Joel Block, even if you are ready to break free from a previous relationship, a one-night stand can ruin your plans, reconnect you with him, make you unable to forget him, and then make it difficult to get rid of him.
4. It makes you miss the right person.
Joel Block points out that physical relationships after a breakup can create “false hope,” as you are always reminiscing about the past. Even if you want to completely cut off contact with him, you still yearn for the beautiful memories that no longer exist. As a result, you may overlook suitable partners around you. Even if you have a new crush, you may be hesitant to approach them because of your relationship with your ex.
5. Impact on the relationship with the current partner
Joel Block shared that there have been many cases in the past where, even after finding a new romantic partner, people still have lingering ties with their exes. They may feel pleasure during the moment of intimacy, but afterwards they may feel guilty, which may also affect their relationship with their current partner.
