If you’ve ever thought about going back for a fling with an ex, you’re not alone. In fact, new research by Lovehoney found that a staggering 53% of us have continued to sleep with an ex after a break-up. Plus, two-thirds said they try to stay on good terms with their ex after a break-up, with men being more likely to want to stay friends than women. Break-ups are never easy, and there’s no one right way to move on. But is it ever a good idea to have sex with an ex, or is it guaranteed to end in tears? Woman investigates.
‘BEEN THERE AND NEVER REGRETTED IT. THERE’S COMFORT IN INTIMACY WITH SOMEONE YOU KNOW’
Samantha Brick, 52, is a writer from Birmingham and currently lives in south-west France. I’ve been there, done it and I’ve never regretted it once. And why should I? In fact, I’m willing to bet that most of us women have, at some point, found ourselves back between the sheets with an ex.
While some puritan types might argue it isn’t healthy to do so, I disagree. We might be mums, bosses, daughters, employees and have heavy-duty life commitments, but we’re still hardwired to enjoy sex. And that’s the point here – it’s just sex! With one significant ex of mine, we’ve had sex on a number of occasions. I don’t view any of those moments shared together as an error of judgement or a drunken mistake either.
‘I’d rather be with an ex than a one-night stand’
