Does having sex with someone else WHO IS REALLY HOT help you get over/forget your ex?
Does having sex with someone else help you get over/forget your ex?
No don't do it! For several reasons:
1. It's using someone and can lead the other person on. They could end up getting hurt.
2. It exposes you to STDs
3. It can make you feel like a slut/player, creating even more depression.
4. Like a drug or alcohol once the feeling is over you are still left with dealing with the problem.
The way to deal with it is to forgive and let go. Give yourself time to heal (it does take time) and eventually you get let yourself get into a relationship without carrying excess baggage.
Meanwhile leaning on trustworthy friends and family will help get you through tough times.

No it would be temporary and false relief. you'd probably feel like a piece of shyte afterward. and yes, it is different for guys to have one night stands than it is for girls. wouldn't help them get over someone they loved though, still just temporary relief. only time heals a broken heart.

It's like drinking. It makes you feel really good while it is going on, but when the feeling wears off and it's over, you feel worse than before.
Nope, not just sex... If you start getting to know new people, get out on dates, have sex, etc. then it's a distraction, but it's not going to resolve the issues you have. When you focus on your emotional problems it can be painful, but at least you're working on it. When you get with someone else for a rebound, it will partially keep your mind off those problems but they are still there and you're basically leading someone else on at the same time...

having sex to forget is like drowning yourself in liquor to forget, it never ends well.
You just gotta face your pain head on and move through it.

no. but finding a nice man who's there for you and does anything for you helps a lot.
and at the end, when you are over your ex, just dump him. and text him something like this: "I got over my ex and I don't need you any more. I just want to be independent". And just after dumping that nice/good guy start sleeping with everybody you meet. This works perfect. It worked for someone "who I used to know". :)

It wouldn't help me, no. It doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy the sex, but it wouldn't help me get past a previous relationship. That just takes time.

I think the root issue of getting over someone is valuing yourself and giving yourself time to heal. Jumping into have sex is similar to drinking, doing drugs or other ways of distracting yourself. I don't think it will help you introspect and truly get over them.

Yes, it helps ME forget.
But it doesn't help YOU out at all. -
short term YES
long term no , the thoughs of ex are going to come back but at least you got to sleep with someone sexy
actually dating someone should help a person forget about the ex though -
You can't forget your ex just having sex with someone else. There is big difference between love and sex.
-
No that's taking advantage over the poor person! Its wrong, hot or not it shouldn't matter. You shouldn't do anything till you are over your ex.

It's a temporary thing so no.
