How common it is for ex couples to sleep together for "one last time" after breaking up?

We broke up probably a month ago but we're planning to have one last fling to see if there are still any strings attached and to get over each other completely.
Have you did it? Is it common OR we too are just crazy ones?

  • I've never done that. I don't end a relationship until it's obvious that the problems are too serious to overcome and that we don't belong together. If it's gotten to that then the desire is gone and I wouldn't want to have sex with her. If she broke up with me and I wanted to continue the relationship, I'd probably be open to it but only if I thought she was wanting to reconcile and resume the relationship.

    In my opinion, if you're both still working on making the relationship work, then having sex is good and can be helpful, but once you've broken up I think it should be over. I think that continuing to have sex just complicates the situation and makes it more difficult to heal and move on.

    • I'm the same way!

  • I would say its pretty common. For one thing you know the person and feel at ease with them and their quirks. I mean you know if they enjoy oral or anal and you should know their favorite position. Also you should trust them to know if there are any disease issues. Its kind of like a friends with benefits situation.

  • I have no idea how common it is but I would never do that. Having sex, in my opinion, is not the way to "get over someone completely." It's your life and your decision but I don't think it's helpful to do that when you're trying to move on from someone.

  • Really common but not always a good idea

  • Ill have one last phone sex but dassit 🤣 besides i’d do it BEFORE i tell em we’re breaking up. No backsies

  • Uncommon no but ideally as a “last hurrah” but not to explore feelings. Seems like you should know how you feel without having sex.🤔

  • My x & I did 2 or 3 times a week for almost a year. Then he got girlfriend so it stopped. Now l have boyfriend so all is good now

  • Its quite common.
    Also, there are times when " angry sex" is just amazing!
    How long were you together with him?

  • Never happened to me.
    I would want to or allow it. Over means over. Not giving them the satisfaction of being with me after we’ve split whether I left or them.

  • Most exes do this until they find someone else. Its normal

  • I've done it a few times

  • Not common at all.. seems like if you're open to this, you're not over him.

  • It's pretty common. It's usually a bad thing to do.

  • I've never had sex with someone I wasn't in a relationship with.

    • Same

  • Yes people do this when they mutually break-up or their relationship won't last in future for long distance or any other reason, so both want to do one last time in this situation maybe it isn't wrong in my point of view.

  • Lmao I never did that. Not sure how common it is

  • You probably won't get over each other. My ex and I hook up every once in awile. If you want it to be over stop sleeping with him or her

  • It's never happened with me so I guess, based on personal experience, it's not likely at all

  • It's very common.

  • I have heard of that happening, yes.

  • Extremely common. Why not when you have no sense of morality?

    • What makes it immoral

    • What makes murder or robbery immoral?

    • Nothing matters and morality is subjective. If I feel it's okay, it must be okay, even if it harms the wellbeing of society overall. That's the mentality these people have.

  • That wouldn't help me break up with them.

  • A co worker told me she was getting married in 6 months and wanted one last fling.
    So for 5 months 4days and 8hrs, I never fucked a girl so many times. She never wanted foreplay, just fuck, fuck, fuck. When she finally left to get married, I slept for 3 days.

    • Was it worth it? I mean did she regret it or developed any emotions?

    • Yes it showed me what I was capable of. We had some fun times not in the bedroom. When she left she gave me a big hug. And we have never been in contact since. That’s the way she wanted it. I don’t regret it one bit!

  • Sex with the ex? Yeah it happens. Its easier because you don't have to be with someone new. You're not starting a new relationship with all the unknowns. One more time to see if there is anything there might not give you the answer
