Should You Ever FK An Ex

Should You Ever F**K An Ex?

 The most straight forward answer is maybe. As a relationship expert, I discovered that having sex with an ex is like two sides of the same coin-it has pros and cons. People pursue sex with their ex for various reasons. These include navigating emotional pain, rekindling the dead love, and beating loneliness. While yearning for sex with an ex is not unheard of, you should know when it’s a good idea and when it can worsen things.

When To Avoid Pursuing Sex with An Ex

Because you don’t want one or both of you to be hurt physically and psychologically, avoid pursuing sex with your ex if they are abusive. Even if you don’t care about your well-being, you may still want to avoid yearning for sex with your ex, especially if they still have romantic feelings for you, but you don’t buy the idea of getting back together.

When To Pursue Sex with Your Ex

Pursue sex with your ex if both of you are on the same page. This means you may need an open and honest dialogue beforehand to help each other understand it is for fun and no strings attached. Also, pursue sex with your ex if you didn’t develop ill feelings towards each other after the breakup.
