If you’re about to embark on a fling, however, it’s crucial to determine that you’re not engaging in rebound sex. A fling that occurs too quickly post-breakup can easily be redefined as rebound sex—which is sex for all the wrong reasons. While it may seem at the time that the sex will be worth it, the detriments most likely outweigh the benefits. Here are 4 things to consider before you proceed:
Your judgment is still cloudy. If you’re still spinning from your break-up, don’t even think about a fling. Give yourself a chance to heal emotionally and wait until you can trust your instincts again.
Rebound sex won’t help you forget your ex or heal your pain. A one night stand with a bartender after a boozy night may temporarily numb the sting of your broken heart—but he’s not going to make it go away.
You could suffer “post-orgasm regret.” Some experts say the female orgasm releases oxytocin, also known as the “cuddle hormone” which promotes a sense of attachment. When there’s no emotional attachment, the orgasm could potentially lead to pangs of sadness and anger—that is certainly not something you need more of!
You may end up breaking someone’s heart. If you’re seeking out a casual hook-up in an attempt to make your ex jealous or to validate your own self-worth, you may be hurting not just yourself. Luring an unsuspecting person who may be seeking something more meaningful into your emotional trap is just plain selfish.
