Does anyone ever actually have 'make-up' sex

As in, falling into bed together after an argument? I hear about it but just can't imagine doing it at all, it's the last thing I feel like after an argument with DH (we have 2 or 3 bad arguments a year, I guess). Even if I did feel like it, initiating it would feel kind of weird and manipulative to me, but I presume it works for some people.

Actually any sex would be nice. And I’m out of whisky. So tonight is a double tragedy.

With my first partner yes, it was the most amazing sex ever as well although we are obviously not together now but it was better than our 'normal' sex

FeckingEjit · 23/11/2018 22:56

Yes it's a thing

CandyCreeper · 23/11/2018 22:59

yes definitely.

Notquiteagandt · 23/11/2018 23:01

Absolutely. Anger and lust are opicite sides of same sword. Some of the best sex os angry sex.

Echobelly · 23/11/2018 23:05

I guess I'm just not a very lusty person! And experiencing anger just leaves me tearful and shaken rather than energised in any way, so not exactly horny.

Oh yes.

Carpetglasssofa · 23/11/2018 23:05

Me, never.

Once had an ex attempt what he called 'farewell sex' shortly after dumping me. He looked totally Confused when I explained that I wasn't feeling particularly aroused right then.

ShesABelter · 23/11/2018 23:05

No I'm the same as you op. I need time to calm down after an argument I certainely don't want to have sex.

LittleRen · 23/11/2018 23:06

Absolutely. We are both incredibly stubborn and argumentative - and the sex after a fall out is amazing. It’s almosb worth the fall out. We don’t normally fall into bed though... we go to bed and one of us will make a move

Sallystyle · 23/11/2018 23:30

Not here. Not when I am angry anyway. It can be nice after we have made up but we certainly don't have angry sex. We don't get that pissed off with each other regularly but when we do I just want to be on my own.

MattBerrysHair · 23/11/2018 23:36

I can't even think about sex if I'm angry and hurt, let alone do it. How can people forget the upset in order to get jiggy? Doesn't it get violent? Confused

LittleRen · 23/11/2018 23:42

We don’t do it if we are pissed off still, but if we have semi made up it’s a perfect thing to do. It’s not really make up sex... more after making up sex, just kind of seals the deal.

Choccywoccyhooha · 23/11/2018 23:44

Not now, but when I was younger and in an extremely unhealthy relationship with my ex, then yes. It never get right to me, it was definitely on the wrong side of agressive and imbalanced.

IdblowJonSnow · 23/11/2018 23:47

Rarely have sex never mind make up sex! If we did it after every row I'd be very, err, active! Grin

Didsomeonesaybunny · 23/11/2018 23:57

Yes, with one ex in particular, some of the best sex I’ve had actually.

MadGentleman · 23/11/2018 23:59

Look up "hysterical bonding". It was very much a thing in the dying days of my marriage. Very hot whilst it was happening - probably the most uninhibited we'd every been - but tended to lead to a major downer afterwards.
