Sometimes s*x can make a bad
situation worse and leave you wishing
you hadn’t wasted your good
underwear & clean sheets on a brief
fling with s*xual mediocrity. Here are the 4 types of s*x to avoid at
all cost. Break-Up s*x: It may seem appealing to take one last ride on that pony for
old time’s sake, but the consequences
will likely outweigh the benefits.
You’re breaking up, which means
something isn’t working. And even if
s*x isn’t the cause of your break-up, it can complicate an already delicate
situation. For instance, it’s easy for
your partner to misconstrue your
intentions. When it comes to break-up
s*x, you don’t want your “It has been
a pleasure doing business with you,” to be misinterpreted for a “Thank you.
Come again!” Even if you’re the type
who makes your intentions crystal
clear, science still offers warnings
against break-up s*x. Romantic
rejection and heartbreak trigger the same parts of the brain associated
with pain, distress and addiction. It
takes time to reduce these triggers
and when the wound is fresh, you
don’t want to train your body to link
s*x with these conditions.
Drunk s*x: A few drinks may loosen you up and help you to shed your
inhibitions, but be sure to limit how
many glasses you down as you may
end up shedding and downing more
than you bargained for. “Bottom’s up”
may be in good fun at the bar, but you need to decide whether you’re open
to letting it take on a whole new
meaning bedside. If you plan on
drinking, bear in mind that alcohol
impairs your judgment. Booze goggles
not only cause light-of-day regret the following morning, but also reduce
the likelihood of using condoms and
other safer s*x tools – so plan ahead.
And that liquid confidence may
seemingly improve your performance
on the dance floor, but it can have the opposite effect sexually. Alcohol
impacts your body’s s*xual response
and circulation making erections and
lubrication harder to come by. Self-Pity s*x (The One Night Stand): If you’re having a little pity party for
yourself and think that a one-night
stand will elevate your spirits, you may
want to think again – especially if
you’re a woman. While a one-time roll
in the hay (or nightclub restroom stall) can be fun for some, women seem to
get the short end of the stick when it
comes to casual s*x. And the short
sticks aren’t to blame. Research shows
that over half (54 per cent) of women
often feel disappointed by one-night stands and report high levels of regret
the morning after. On the other hand,
80 per cent of men feel positively
about the experience and say that it
helps them to blow off some steam.
Steam? Is that what they’re calling it these days? So before you take the
plunge and turn to casual s*x to lift
your spirits, be sure to consider other
ways to crash the pity party. Make-Up s*x: Experts are split on this one and you can decide for yourself
whether make-up s*x works for you.
Some psychologists believe that it
rewards fighting, drama and generally
bad behaviour. They suggest that
couples are dealing with intensely negative emotions and instead of
finding a resolution, they seek an
opposite experience (pleasure) in s*x.
They argue that this type of s*x isn’t
“real intimacy” and that it can lead to
loneliness and the belief that everything can be fixed with s*x.
What a world it would be if this were
true!
If you find yourself enticed by these
four types of s*x, you may want to
take a moment to reconsider. And if
you’re still tempted, at least consider
the laundry!
