Why does sex feel better if the relationship is toxic?

I broke up with an ex and started dating a good girl. Our relationship is awesome but the sex is boring compared to my last relationship which was toxic.
My ex, I didn't know if she was cheating on me, on the other hand. She would say really mean things to me and then we would have make up sex that was really hot. I don't know... it just feels that the sex was better when the relationship was bad.

Bad relationship = amazing sex
Good relationship = mediocre sex

  • I don't think that's always the case. It's possible for there to be good sex in a good relationship and not so good sex in a toxic relationship.

    It could be that the sex in your toxic relationship felt better because it was one of the few times you were actually interacting well and feeling connected and so it was more exciting at least in part just for that reason. In a good relationship, there's a lot more positive interaction all the time, so even if the sex is fine the positive feelings from it aren't as big a change from what you feel in daily life as they were in the bad relationship.

    Do you know why you feel that the sex is boring now? Is it because your current partner doesn't want to do some things you like that your ex was willing to do? If that's the case, have you tried asking her to try some new things? Or are you doing pretty much the same things with her that you did before but just don't feel as much excitement from it with your current partner? If that's the case, then maybe it's just that the sex doesn't seem as exciting because daily life is pretty good, so the sex isn't as much better relative to daily life as it was in the previous relationship.

    I don't know about you, but I think toxic relationships are pretty distressing to be in, so given a choice between toxic relationship with great sex and good relationship with mediocre sex, I'd definitely take the second.

    • That could not have been said better. ... you deserve an award I think you are too hung up on the sex part. A relationship is so much more. Share some passion with her. Take her on a romantic date and actually play and talk with her. Sex with someone you are fully in love with... that can be better than any sex... evern with a toxic whore. Lol

  • Maybe the conflict made the sex more exciting. OR maybe you're not very compatible sexually, though you are otherwise. You can have hot sex with people who are completely wrong for you and boring sex with people you get along well with.
    The goal is to find someone you have the whole package with. Takes more time, it seems. Neither of these women are the right fit for you. Move on. Just bow out gracefully with the nice girl.

  • Passion!

  • The toxic relationship clearly had a lot of sexual chemistry which I suspect wasn't due to her deception but was just how you two combined sexually. The new girls isn't as compatible sexually. Have you talked to her about ramping up the passion?

  • I wouldn't say a toxic relationship... but if you get you a good girl whos bad just for you (aka a closet freak) then thats when the sex will be good. I like when guys from church are closet freaks

  • I heard the psychos are the best at sex.
    That being said you're a disgusting pig🐷

    • Is her name Jodi? (Amityville Horror Reference)

    • @Kiss_Me Not sure about her sex style🤔 Why don't you have sex with her and tell me?

  • I don't think it's a genral rule.
    But it might be that your current girl isn't comfortable acting out sexual fantasies or even having rough sex with you yet. Or she never did it before.

    I believe if you want it bad enough and apprach it right you can unlock her sexual potential (assuming there is one)

  • It doesn't feel better, it's not healthy

  • The worst sex I was getting was within my toxic relationship. Being in a healthy and uplifting relationship, the sex is amazing. Not sure where you're getting your information from. But it sounds like it has to do with revenge sex

  • Maybe you need to be open with this girl about your fantasies.

    Just because she's a good girl, doesn't mean you can't fuck the shit out of her and ssexualise her.

  • Or it could be the fact your relationship with your ex was dog shit and toxic and the sexual chemistry was the only good point. Just because your new girl's sexual chemistry isn't as great as your last one doesn't mean toxicity means better sex.

    You and your new girl just don't click well sexually. So you have two options. Explore your sexual boundaries together or find a new girl index is that important to you.

  • It doesn’t.

  • Why is it u think sex is connected to the state off your relationship when its simply down to the skill off the individuals

  • Because sex is the only thing that's holding a toxic relationship. Everything else apart from sex is crap in a toxic relationship

  • I don’t think it does. At least it isn’t for me.

  • I don't agree. Sex is way better when the relationship is going well.

  • It's 'anger-sex'. LOL

  • Sex is better in a toxic relationship due to the phenomenal sexual chemistry between the couple. Intense physical attraction can blur the lines of what’s acceptable and healthy versus what’s toxic.

    At the end of the day this can happen to anyone and never underestimate the power of lust!

  • Maybe you are submissive and love to be getting treated shit?

  • What? It's doesn't!
