Is it bad to have sex with someone just to get over a ex?

[Anonymous]

Guys and gals of G&G, what are your thoughts about having sex with someone in order to get over someone else?

Have you tried this? Does it work?

I tried dating someone right away after a break up and made out with the person quite a bit but no sex. And I still felt sadness about my ex. Does sex make you forget about your past?

[OlderAndWiser]

How would you feel if you started dating a guy, decided to have sex with him, and a few weeks later he tells you, "Oh, I just had sex with you to help me get over my break up with Amber. Thanks and see you around!"?

Are you treating this as a solution to your problems? Yes it's an awful idea

Are you using this to forget for a little bit instead of turning to something less healthy? No, go for it and have a little fun. Just make sure the other person understands that too.

Sometimes it works and others it just compounds the sadness. If I were you I would work on doing things that make me happy. Keep busy and you’ll meet a new partner and be in the right headspace to move on

[Chill_Thoughts]

Not really. Sex is fun, but it won't make you magically not miss your ex. For that you just need time. It'll get easier and easier and eventually you'll be over them.
So sex isn't a solution and you shouldn't have it in hopes it will help, but other than that it's fun so you can have it just know it ain't a healing potion 🙃

[Cocochoh]

Yes and no. Unless your a psychopath, the feeling will always be there. No matter what. Thought will always remain. Jus gotta know how to treat like a last week's episode and not pay attention to it. Like cloud tha come and go. Know it's there but you don't dwell on it. Build new memories and no sex don't make you forget bout the past.

All that would do is make you a casual sex/hook up person and cause other good potential mates in the future to not be interested in you. I'd advise against it if you want to have a good long term exclusive relationship in the future with a good quality man.

Imagine how different all things, including relationships would be, if people took the time to seek some of the lessons from the Bible...

Matthew 7:12

So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Temporarily in the moment you can feel better, but it doesn't last and the feelings will come back (assuming that you enjoy the sex and can enjoy that moment). It's not "bad" as long as the other person knows your intentions with them (ie that it's only sex for you).

[dynamicyandere]

Nope. Just like getting drunk out of your mind isn’t going to heal heartbreak. It just takes time. You can’t rush getting over someone. The best thing you can do is focus on self-care and self-improvement.

[dynamicyandere]

Nope, as in no it doesn’t work.

[driven159]

It does not work just makes you feel bad about yourself

[POSSY_HUNTER]

it sounds kinda impulsive to me
i know some guys who do that ,
but girls are different to guys

[MikeInHawaii]

If that’s your coping mechanism, I’m sure many men will volunteer to help.

[LazerBean]

Yeah that's pretty trashy.

[peedy]

No.
The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else

[SiberFox]

Not a good idea.

[Fuentes]

It's called rebounds for a reason

[In_Trance]

[007kingifrit]
