There are times that you can hook up with your ex, but then are other times that it is not OK to do so. If you and your ex ended your relationship amicably and there are kids involved, it should be OK to make that casual hookup. If your ex is a cool guy or girl and not full of drama or you are not angry with each other, then you can consider hooking up. As long as there is no emotional baggage and you both enjoy having sex with each other, it is OK to go for it. If you are not in a relationship and you have strong physical needs that you must meet, then it is better to have it met by an ex who has good bedroom skills than with a stranger who knows nothing about your body or your needs.

The Past

It is not easy to have a casual hookup with your ex, especially when you have gone through a lot and the relationship didn't end so nice. With baggage from a past relationship, hooking up may not be the best idea. However, if you parted ways amicably, then you may have a shot at it. Hooking up with an ex-girlfriend, ex-boyfriend, ex-husband or ex-wife is no bed of roses. One good thing is that you will be dealing with someone you know. If your past partner was good in the sack, then you would probably be inclined to get some more of that action as long as there are no strings attached.

The Familiarity

Hooking up with the ex can be quite comforting because you will be dealing with someone that is familiar to you. Unlike a random stranger on a dating website, your ex knows you, knows your body, knows how you think, knows what you like and may be good at the boning act. At least, you both have a sexual history together and you may possibly miss your ex and miss the sex that you once had. While this can be a casual hookup for the last time, sometimes, it is worth the closure. So, you go get one last bang and it could be over forever. Nothing is wrong with that. You have absolutely nothing to lose. You will gain sexual gratification and then move on.

Treading the Line

As long as there is no emotional baggage, it is OK to get back with your ex with that last roll in the sack. In some cases, the person hooking up back with the ex may still crave the intensity of emotions that was once a part of the relationship. Or perhaps, they want to get close again with the ex and will do whatever it takes to happen. It could also be that you want to f*ck your ex just to show what they would be missing. These are good enough reasons to tread the line and have a casual hookup.

Complex, but Possible

Of course, most of your friends will tell you not to sleep with your ex. That is the cardinal sin for many people and one of the breakup rules. However, no one can walk in your shoes. If you have broken up for a while and kept in touch and not so angry with each other and you are still single with strong physical need for touch, then it is OK to see your ex. It is hard to resist having sex with your ex. While the situation is complicated and emotionally charged, you have to go in with caution. Since this is a casual hookup, you should keep your heart out of it, which is difficult in itself. Consider this as a chance to get your physical needs met and that you are doing it with someone you have already had sex with in the past. It is just a casual hookup and nothing else, especially if your ex is seeing someone else. As long as your ex understands where you are coming from, then it is OK.

The Odds

The odds of having sex with your ex are stacked in your favor, if you just have to get your physical needs taken care of. It might not be the easiest decision. So you have to weight your options. When you and your ex were in the same social circle during your relationship, it may have been easier for you. However, now that the relationship has gone awry and you have the same social circles, it is going to be hard to avoid your ex. You may run into an ex at parties or accidentally and this can quickly turn into that casual hookup. It could be a situation where you are both at a party and gotten drunk and horny at the same time. Whether the breakup is fresh or has been for a while, you may still have those sexual feelings for each other. It could be a situation where you are open to trying to see if things will work out again. You may be l to give it one last try! In these cases, you can go ahead and hookup with an ex.

No Expectations

As long as you don't have any expectations on your end and you are open to a night of passion with no strings or obligation on your part, then nothing is wrong with hooking up with an ex. In the days of advanced technology and cell phones, it is easy to hook up with an ex. Unless you have changed numbers, then you both should still have each other's phone numbers. This means that you can hook up without the friends from your social circle knowing about it. Therefore, if it does not work out, then there is no explaining to do. Send a text and find out what's up. Then explain your desire and see where it leads from there. You can agree to meet up for a quick drink and discuss the nature of your hookup, spelling out the boundaries and expectations.

Fresh Breakup

If you just broke up with your ex and want to talk things over, you can meet in a public place to talk. Don't get too emotional though. If you want to feel his body next to you for one more time, then there is nothing wrong with doing so. This may be something necessary for both of you to put some closure on the relationship. It could be an opening for better communication, especially if you have kids involved. Some people might have a different opinion, but only you are walking in those shoes and only you know what is best for you at a specific time period and in a specific situation. A fresh breakup does not mean that you have to stop talking to the person. It means that you have to know how you go about doing this.

Lifting the Sexual Boundaries

With the confines and boundaries of the past relationship being removed, it opens the door for something more casual. And that is why you can have a casual hookup with an ex. If it is possible to have a casual hookup with an unfamiliar stranger, then why not have one with your ex? At least, you know exactly what you are getting. It is a matter of where your mind and heart is at the moment and if you still have any inhibitions that may hinder the enjoyment. Get rid of the inhibitions and have sex wherever and however you want. Lifting the sexual limitations and boundaries is one way to approach it. It could even be better than you remembered.

Feelings of Liberation

You can have sex with your ex, if it makes you feel liberated. When you sleep with your ex because you already have that shared physical attraction, it makes the sex even better. You don't have to drum up any emotions or feelings. Everything is already there. You no longer have to prove anything to each other or be tied to each other anymore. This can put you both in a better place to perform better at sex and to be better at communicating your physical needs. In fact, this is the time where you could have lots of fun.

No Obligation

With an ex, there are no longer any obligations toward each other. The relationship was dissolved, but the feelings may still be there. When you have a casual hookup with your ex, you have no obligation to prove anything. You owe each other nothing. So it makes the situation easier to endure. You will go into it feeling like you don't have to try that hard.

Better Sex

If you are both seeing each other and not getting the kind of sex that you were accustomed to with each other, then this is grounds for having a casual hookup with your ex. Yes, if you would do anything for better sex and your ex fits that description, you could arrange for a casual hookup, even if it is not on a regular basis, but enough to leave you satisfied for a few days at a time. Just be sure not to get hurt during the process. Keep everything balanced and don't ask for more than you can chew off. Do not weave any more tangled webs. Tread delicately.

Difficulty Making the Transition

While having sex with an ex is not the only solution to your needs, it is a quick fix and something that won't do any harm, if you approach it right. It is not like you are trying to repair the relationship, but only trying to get your groove on with someone you already know. Boning your ex is no big deal. If you are having a hard time making the transition from leaving your ex to starting a new relationship, then boning your ex is quite OK in a casual hookup.

The Lonely Fix

If you and your ex have quit seeing each other, it may be hard for you to resume the single lifestyle. You may need a little help to make the transition. That is where your ex comes in. While you continue to date other people, trying to find someone that you can regularly date, then your ex becomes the backup as it relates to sexual favors. This is especially true, if you are not the kind of person who likes to be alone. Just arrange a few booty calls with your ex when you feel horny and when you are not ready to give up the goods to a stranger. Yes, having sex with an ex is a quick fix for the loneliness when you are in between dates.

Staying Friends

If you and your ex decided to remain friends and the breakup was amicable, there is absolutely no harm to call and ask for sexual favors. A quickie and some time with each other could be the difference between making a bad decision to sleep with a stranger who is not worth your time and energy. You will be creating a scenario of 'friends with benefits.' A lot of people are doing this and find it appealing with less drama, less hassle, fewer confrontations and no commitment. Being friends will make it easier on the relationship and a casual hookup becomes much easier.

On the Roster

The fact that your ex is still on your roster and the sex was incredible, it is Ok to hook up with your ex. When that horniness hits, you don't have to go out and find some random stranger to cool down the heat. Just pick up the phone and call your ex to get this thing sorted out. There is nothing complicated or wrong about that. Having sex with your ex is another way of not feeling guilty about adding a random stranger to list of people you slept with. The number will remain the same. Moreover, there is something memorable and comforting about sleeping with your ex if the sex is good.
