Sex with an Ex: Don’t Go There! By Joanne B. Parrotta There you are once again, home alone on a Friday night watching reruns and feeling a little bit lonely and sorry for yourself. Your mind starts to wander back to the good old days when you and your ex were still together. You remember how nice it was to cuddle and make love on the couch. It’s been six months since the break-up and you haven’t found anyone better. Maybe he/she wasn’t that bad after all. So you talk yourself into giving your ex a call and inviting him/her over to watch an old movie with you. One thing leads to another and pieces of clothing start coming off. After it’s over, you wonder what just happened and what it means. “Does this mean we’re back together? I don’t really want to get back together. What was I thinking? Maybe we can be ‘friends with benefits’ until one of us meets someone new.” Does this scenario sound familiar? I regularly get asked if sleeping with an ex was a bad idea. Of course, the answer is “It wasn’t the wisest choice you could have made.” Sex with an ex, either out of loneliness or for old time’s sake, is tempting. You know each other so well. What’s to worry about? Sex with your ex will confuse you and prevent you from moving on with your life. Besides the possible emotional effects, consider the fact that your ex has been single for a while and may have had sex with someone else, no matter what he/she tells you. Sex with an ex is more complicated—and possibly more dangerous to your health—than you might have thought. Don’t do it! And if you’ve done it in the past, don’t let it happen again. Period! Sex is a powerful thing. Satisfying an urge while sacrificing your self-worth or your health is not worth it. When thoughts of sex with your ex enter your mind, do whatever you have to do to get over them—take a cold shower, go for a run, call a friend. Save yourself from heartache; don’t allow your libido to take over your brain.
