S-E-X! It may be good for your
heart, great for your mood and
even work wonders on your
skin, but not all types offer the
same benefits.
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!
