Jumping Back in the Sack? The Pros and Cons Of Rebound Hook Ups

The Pros

1. Temporary Fix

Yes, it’s only a band-aid solution to a broken heart, but having sex with someone else who finds you sexually attractive can give you the confidence boost you need to get over a breakup. Sometimes when a relationship ends, especially if it was the other person who ended it, one can feel “ugly” or unsure of themselves. They may wonder what they did wrong in the relationship that caused their ex to break up with them, leaving them feeling insecure. While your worth should not be validated by sex, there is something to be said for being desired by someone else. I’m not saying have a one night stand with someone you don’t know, but if you have sex with the next guy you start hanging out with, don’t kick yourself for not waiting the “customary” 6 weeks or months before you give up the goods. You’re not looking for another relationship; you’re just looking for sex.  Unless it goes against your personal beliefs, you should not feel ashamed of anything.
