Sex With The Ex

Posted to Ask the Community by Katherine McKee on Thu, 07/05/2007 - 10:51am

I was reading a Q&A in The Buffalo News inquiring about sex with an ex and how that works once you’ve split up and if there are kids involved. It got me thinking as to whether it’s ever a good idea to get involved again, on any level (emotionally or physically) with an ex.

The “sexpert” seemed to think it was risky to return to sex with an ex, especially if you have kids together. Kids (even 18-year-olds) can get the wrong idea and think you’re getting back together. But what if you find comfort in the familiarity of your ex, post-divorce? And what if there’s no one else at the moment?

Even if you keep it to yourselves, this type of arrangement can be dangerous. Someone is bound to get hurt and the situation might damage custody arrangements and make things worse than they were at the point of divorce.

Even without kids, opening yourself up to sex with the ex might feel tantalizing for a moment, but honestly, doesn’t it damage your self-esteem? I mean why did you get the divorce in the first place?

An ex is an ex for a reason, right? Tell us what you think.
