Past is past, so they say. However, destiny can be crazy and surprisingly lead you to your ex’s path. This could rekindle memories and suppressed feelings – and the next thing you know, you are ripping each other’s clothes off in her apartment.

The question is this: should you have sex with your ex?

Whether you do it or not, here are tips and things you need to remember before falling into each other’s arms – and pants – again.

1. There will always be comfort and convenience in every encounter.

You know how you both are in bed. There is familiarity in every corner of her body and you know what could turn her on. You can also try new things in bed and not worry too much about how she will feel. You can even say “no strings attached” since sex with your ex is purely physical interaction, sans the emotional investment. This makes sex easier and more convenient, although the fun in the encounter might be lost because of familiarity.

2. It will make you realize it is really over.

You broke up for a reason, that’s for sure. Apparently, sleeping with your ex will make you think what really happened in the relationship. It could make you realize that it is really over and there is nothing and no one else you could get back to – and it’s fine.

3. Or the other way around.

Unfortunately, sleeping with your ex may open old wounds too. This is why it is important to ask yourself first how you might feel before knocking at her door. If you will feel sad, vulnerable, or homicidal, then it is best to save that booty call for someone else.

4. Expect some changes physically and in preferences.

Even if there is familiarity both in and out of the bedroom, there is still a possibility that you or your ex will go through changes whether physically, emotionally, or sexually. Therefore, don’t look for the same old person when having sex with your ex. She might’ve updated her list of preferences and so do you.

5. Kicking out an ex may be harder than the one-night stand.

In one night stand, you have sex with a stranger or perhaps someone you know but not really close to. The following day, you can leave and never see her again.

The situation is different when you do the deed with your ex. You know each other’s habits and routines, which makes saying goodbye a bit more challenging. In case you decided to slowly creep out and leave her place unnoticed, it could send negative signals too.

6. There is a risk you might regret it after.

You will never know how you feel until after the sexual encounter. This is why you should know that there is a possibility of regretting your actions. The best way to deal with this is to ask and ensure yourself where your ex is standing currently in your life. If you have completely moved on, then go ahead and make that call. Otherwise, save yourself for someone else.

Whether to have sex with your ex is your choice. Just be prepared to suffer the consequences.
