I find this odd. Have you ever been in a situation where you're crying, you're partner tries to comfort you, -- you then turn to them and.. a kiss (a passionate one), which could be followed by full out making out/sex. Emotions are running high?

I’ve had that happen.It wasnt as romantic as it plays out in the movies,but it made us both feel better.

I do love when that happens!

Almost as good as make-up sex.

Whoa. This is creepy. Yes, I have.
Plus, about a month ago, I wrote a six page scene for one of my screenplays where this was the case inspired a little bit by a personal situation.

Oh yeah…

It doesn’t seem odd to me. I don’t know what the psychologists say, but it seems to me that when you take the lid off emotions you are actually taking the lid off emotionality, not just one emotion at a time, and anything intense or extreme might pop out. So yes, I think you’ve explained it in your question.

All the time – it’s a perfect release – and the sex is usually more passionate, more emotionally confused (which I like) and intense

oh YES! this has happened. It’s because your emotionally unbalanced at the time so almost anything can happen… : D

I think it’s because when people are crying, they’re overwhelmingly sad. Being sad makes you want to seek comfort from someone, what better way to get comfort from someone you love than sex?

This has only happened once to me. An ex boyfriend was very upset after his grandfather’s funeral and he suddenly pounced on me. I remember feeling a little guilty for being so passionate after the poor man’s funeral, but just getting swept away in the intensity of it all. Then I felt used because it seemed that he just needed an escape from his sorrow.

It sure has happened to me…got bit by a vampire and he right left a proper nasty mark on my neck…ha ha…can you tell I’m from Lancashire.

@definitive Heh. ~

I don’t find it odd. I find the best time to have sex is when emotions are running high. If the girlfriend is crying I’ll probably be after getting some lovin’ in :)

Tis a way to forget whatever is upsetting them I guess.

I just find it odd that we do that. The “taking the lid off emotionality” makes sense, though. Don’t get me wrong – it truly is wonderful sex. It’s pretty intense.

Not any more.

I had that happen last year when on of the Wife’s friends was going through a divorce and custody battle, she had just left court and was calling to talk to the Wife and I answered the phone and she was crying. I told her to come right over and I’ll make her something to eat and we will talk untill the wife gets home. She was over in an hour and asked to take a shower after we had a snack so she went upstairs and I heard the water running and leaned in the cracked door and heard sobbing so I removed my clothes and went in and stood there and asked her if she wanted some comfort and she leaned out and went “your sure dressed- OR undressed to do the job right, come on in”.
A (((Hug))), a soapy neck rub, back rub, rinse off, sit in the tub facing me in a hug and she takes her hand and whispers- O M G- I think that would feel good… and slides something in and then tenses-up and purs out tears and then collapses in my arms!

Yes she felt much better…

@jmah Yes it has happened to me very recently…definitely felt like it was more than sex…and referring to the mark on my neck…my SO did bite me but I never realised until the morning how bad he had bit me…not a very good look though…I’m no longer a teenager lol.

Not often enough – that’s for sure!
Sometimes emotions get in the way of a good ole romp though!

@phil196662 – that was cheeky, Hope the wife didnt mind? (or find out)

@scotsbloke ; It is never an issue with the Wife, she had found us in the tub! the Wife and I have an Open Marriage and are used to comforting friends deeply. all of us ended up staying up all night talking with her to get her back on the ground again so she go back to court and keep her Daughter.

@phil196662 – I’ll be honest with you. I am envious of your open relationship, I doubt it would work for me in reality But I respect you and your wife for being able to live like that.
And for helping out a friend – you get kudos too.

This has happened to me. We were breaking up and I wasn’t quite ready for that to happen and he wasn’t entirely sure of his feelings, either. I was extraordinarily emotional that evening and I suppose he saw an opportunity and went for it. Afterwards, I ended up feeling used.

We’re back together now, have been for a while, and that softens the blow, but it’s something I’ll be sure to try and avoid in the future. Even he said he felt bad about it afterwards.

Damn hormones.

Thanks! we only have One Rule, Meet the person before any cuddling to avoid surprises. Any relationship is built on Trust and mutual boundaries.

Yes, it’s happened before. To me it’s always better if one of us was originally the cause of the hurt (aka, makeup sex).

I’ve been on the receiving end of this… and all I can say is that my experience was an unforgetable one. My SO at the time felt much better afterwards and I can honestly say it was one of the more satisfying and wild sexual experiences I’ve ever had. There was a lot of passion involved and the release through the expression of that passion was something neither of us had experienced before.

Totally worth it.

@stemnyjones ; Make sure they make dinner too, food gets you in the mood for make up Sex!

It’s happened, and I find it to be a wonderful “in the heat of the moment” sort of thing.

yup. been there. when we are emotional about something, we are also vulnerable.

my newly engaged SO, who is now my wife of 15 years, was kind of upset about something that had occurred about an hour or two prior. i drove her halfway home and decided to address her dismay. we embraced in the car. and yeah, we, uh, yeah, we did it in the car. it was sweet and passionate. wasn’t part of the plan, but that was some good &^%$!

Funny story, but kind of long:

I had a suite sophomore year in college. Second semester, all my suitemates went abroad. Three random people moved in, and all four of us were complete opposites. It was quite the scene.

Anyway, one of them (Chris) was a grad student with a prescription drug abuse problem who moved in because he lit his house on fire with a cigarette. This is not the type of person I usually make out with.

One night, I was broken up with. I went to the common room to talk to Chris about it, and he offered his services as a snuggle buddy. We got into snuggle formation and I cried a little. He said, “We probably should be careful that we don’t let this get out of control, since we live together,” or something. I agreed. Next thing we know we’re making out.

It was actually fine, surprisingly not awkward at any point in the semester, we actually joked about it.

So, YES, I have been in that situation:)

Sometimes if I’m feeling down or anxious, a little nookie is just what the doctor ordered!

In my book and Woman well cared for is getting correct “Care and Feeding, and perhaps Food too!

Nope. I hardly ever cry so if I do the best thing to do is walk out of the room because a hurricane is coming out with the rain. In my case it would be dangerouse to stick around.

I have seen that in so many movies, and yet I have never had any desire to do that in real life. I find it odd as well.

No. Hasn’t happened to me. Mostly because I prefer to be alone when I cry. I only come out of the room, or wherever, when I’m done and in control of my emotions again.
If it did happen that someone was with me, it also wouldn’t happen. I never feel sexual in any way when I am upset enough to cry about something.

Yes comforting raw, painful emotions has unleashed a storm of intense emotions culminating in hot love-making

my favourite sexual encounter.
