Before we get to finding out if you’re ready for rebound sex, you need to ask yourself why you’re really getting into one, and what you expect to get out of a rebound relationship with a stranger or a crush. Here are common reasons for rebound sex, and chances are, you may be experiencing one of these reasons in your life right now.
1. It’s an excuse. You tell the world and yourself that you just need someone to get over your ex, but deep inside, you’re just looking for a good excuse to sleep with random people because you’ve felt so restricted when you were in the relationship.
2. Revenge sex. You want your ex to burn. You want your ex to know you’re having sex with someone else and you’re hoping that it’ll piss them off *which it definitely will IF your ex is still in love with you*
3. Mask the emotional pain. You think having sex with someone new will help you feel better and quell the emotional pain you feel inside.
4. You want to break free. You just want to have fun. You’re sick and tired of wallowing in self pity and you just want to fill your life with adventure and fun all over again.
5. You’re horny. You crave sexual intimacy and you miss having sex. You want to hold someone in your arms and you want to experience the bliss of carnal pleasure, with someone… anyone!
6. Distraction. Your ex is running circles in your mind 24/7 and you just want to fill that space with something else. You want to stop thinking about your ex and you’re ready to take that big sexual step to push your ex’s thoughts away from your mind.
