We all have many different feelings and expectations when it comes to sex.
Many of them are unrealistic and can do more to negatively impact our lives than they should.
Do you think that sex will help you get your ex back? That sex is purely an expression of love and affection? Some people claim to feel this way, but they may have missed the point.
I'd like to show a different side of the story here.
People have sex all the time, with any number of people, for any number of reasons - most of them have nothing to do with love and commitment.
Having sex is nothing special - though, of course it can be - it is something that we all do.
We will fight with our partner and then follow this with sex.
Is this love? Some people have one-night stands.
Is this love? People even force their way on others and I think we can all agree that this is not done out of love or affection.
While love and affection may be part of sex for some people, it is not universal and does not mean your partner feels the same way about sex as you do.
Sex is a natural bodily response and it can be dangerous to relationships and even one's self-esteem to attach a significant amount of importance to the act of having sex.
Does having sex with your ex increase your chances of getting them back? No.
You are giving them what they want without any attachments.
They will not automatically begin to love you again because you have sex with them and they might not even give the episode a second thought.
Sex with an ex can end horribly.
While you might see it as a way to get your ex back, they see it as a way to, well, have sex.
This could leave you heartbroken and your self-esteem in tatters, not to mention it doesn't do much for getting your ex to take you seriously.
A relationship gone sour is not going to be repaired by a simple night of pleasure.
Using sex is NOT a good way of getting your ex back.
