Casual Sex After Divorce: Is Rebound Sex A Good Idea?

Is The Best Way To Get Over Someone To GetSomeone Else?

Is casual sex after divorce a huge relief or an emotional disaster just waiting to happen?

On Thursday, TheStir writer Jennifer Cullen made the case for rebound sex after divorce in a piece delving into her own experience hooking up post-split.

For Cullen, casual sex was a way to re-discover her sexuality after years of giving sex the short shrift in her marriage.

"I was ready to re-discover the sexual part of my personality, both alone and with a partner, because a vibrator only takes you so far," she explained, "And having sex to fulfill my needs without looking for an emotional attachment? It was no different than what hordes of men do. Just judged differently. And it worked for me."

But rebound sex isn't for everyone. With Cullen's story in mind, we asked our readers on Facebook and Twitter to share with us their take on having no-strings-attached sex after divorce.
