Revenge Sex: Is It Really Worth It?

What is revenge s3x? 

Also known as angry s3x or breakup s3x, the meaning of revenge s3x depends on the reasons for doing it.

For some people, it is a way of getting back at someone for cheating (first to do no dey pain) or to show the person one last time, what they are missing. Others do it in an attempt to get over someone after being served breakfast

Whatever the motivation, revenge s3x is basically engaging in s3xual activities to get back at someone else.

Why does it happen? 

In a 2014 study of 170 undergrad students who’d experienced a breakup within the previous eight months, 25% admitted to having had s3x as a form of revenge.

So why exactly do people do it? I think we can safely blame hormones. But apart from hormones, here are some possible reasons people do it as well: 

To avoid sadness

Even if only temporarily, engaging in s3xual activity with another person can actually help you prevent sadness. That’s because it releases oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone”. And no, oxytocin is not Yoruba.

You also experience it more intensely while you are in the throes of new love or passion, which might be a welcome change from crying to Adele songs after a breakup.

To express anger

The distinction between the fury bang and revenge s3x is hazy. 

The American Psychology Association states that anger is typically accompanied by hostile thoughts and unhelpful acts that arise in response to someone else’s undesirable conduct, usually someone we like or love. 

Typically, being furious indicates that you are also hurt, sad, dissatisfied, unloved, or unwanted. Oh, sure! 

After a breakup, you could prefer to let your fury and rage out through s3xual activity. Why? You were taught better than to punch someone in the throat, and cutting their tires is a criminal violation.

One could feel helpless if the other person decides to stop the relationship. Especially if it’s a relationship that you have invested so much in.

Pros and cons of revenge s3x

As much as revenge s3x may sound like the best thing since Agege bread, especially from the stories above, it comes with its own gains and pains as well. 

Before you decide to jump into it, let’s explore the pros and cons, shall we?

Cons:

Revenge s3x will not help you get over your ex

Unfortunately

This is especially true for people who have been in long-term relationships. Having meaningless s3x won’t let you completely forget about your ex if you were together for a number of years. 

Instead, by ignoring them and searching for flings, you are ensuring that those memories will eventually come back to haunt you. Instead, use the opportunity to reflect and move past the relationship.

You may find it difficult to get into a relationship again 

You can feel that you’re better off being alone after a bad relationship, but that’s usually just your resentment and emotional suffering speaking. 

After a breakup, it can be tempting to jump from one pointless fling to another in an effort to prove to your ex that you’re having a good time. However, doing this may prevent you from making genuine connections and having meaningful relationships again.

It makes them feel justified

If your ex finds out that after cheating on you, you cheated back, they can feel justified and begin to act like all is well since you have evened the scores. Some might even go as far as accusing you of cheating during the relationship. 

An eye for an eye makes the world blind, so if you ask me, I’d say take the high road. The cons are definitely not worth it in the end. If you are going through heartbreak, I believe music is the way. It gives the same satisfaction as revenge s3x.
