Rebound sex: pros and cons?

I’m more like a stereotypical guy when it comes to sex. Rebound sex is just as easy to have as any other kind of sex. I see no difference.

It’s nice to have company when you are hurting, even if it doesn’t lead to anything.

If recreational fucking with no long term committments is what someone wants then why should I care?

Use condoms

I’m a guy, we don’t get rebound sex.

I’ve personally always found the quickest way to get over a woman is with a new woman.

I guess you didn’t mean sex with prostitutes…

I find that rebound sex makes a lot of girls (my friends, so not the best sample size) put unrealistic expectations on the new guy. The guy gets into it thinking it’s a one night stand, and the girl is still in relationship mode. If a girl can do it safely with a clear understanding of what it really is and what it really means, why not?

Are you looking for rebound sex?
Because…. Niki… I’m totally single.

Depends on how good the rebound is.

I think that it can be fine and ease the stress and loneliness of a breakup if both parties are fully aware that rebound sex is exactly that. If they put unrealistic expectations on it, then it becomes a problem.

What happens when you fall for the one your rebounding with

Post divorce I hooked up with Miss. Seattle. That was a real treat. Go for it!

I guess I just think you’re more likely to get messed up by it somehow while you’re still recovering from the loss of your primary relationship. You can’t bring a very good state of mind to it when you’re needy and hurting. I never thought sex really worked well that way. You’re too vulnerable for that much exposure.

i actually think it helps me forget the previous person as i can concentrate on the new one, with renewed feelings of ecstasy that usually accompanies the start of a new relationship. however when your rebound sex partner decides to tell your ex….this is where the problem arises. :S

from personal experience

I think rebound sex is a fantastic thing.

@casheroo I think you’re a fantastic thing. mmm mmm mmm ;)

@Axemusica She’s married with kids, buddy.

@rangerr and… ?

haha lurve for that!

I’ve never had rebound sex but I’ve seen a few friends regret it later because they jumped at the first person available and either had problems shaking the person off or simply where later discusted by the person they chose.
I say take a breather for a while so you are in full control of your emotions. Then go for it if you are comfortable with it.

I have only had bad experiences with rebounds. It didn’t make me more lonely, or make me want to be with my previous partner any more. The guys were always losers, and the sex was just always terrible.

Well I don’t like one night stands so I tend to avoid them. They just make me jaded. Bad side is I don’t heal fast and often have long stagnant periods in between. As a whole I prefer fwb it provides a level of intimacy without a huge fallout or gap thus leaving me free to roam where I want without all the BS involved or stagnation.

Only had rebound sex once, and for me, it was amazing. I was still mourning my old relationship, including the loss of what I thought was the best possible sexual relationship I’d ever have, met a guy, had AMAZING sex with him and realized…..there are plenty of fish in the sea, and many of them really know how to swim.
