"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\nOne of the resounding pieces of advice you'll likely hear post break-up is this: Don't, under any circumstances, sleep with your ex. Not even if he calls you at 2 a.m. sounding forlorn asking you to come over. Not even if you're really, really horny. Must. Resist. At. All. Costs.Now, a new study says it's totally cool to get busy with a former flame. And, crazily enough, those who aren't over their relationships actually benefit from having ex-sex.\u00A0We're sure this is all the ammo you needed!Researchers at the University of Arizona studied 137\u00A0recently divorced\u00A0adults and found that over 20 percent had gotten busy with their former partners after the breakup process began. Those who hadn't quite accepted the situation found that having sex helped ease the pain of impending divorce, leading researchers to believe that sex might help fulfill people's attachment needs while going through a breakup.However, we'd like to see if people felt just as fulfilled after having sex in general,\u00A0not just from getting down with an ex. Because, in our experience, having ex-sex is more complicated than just wham-bam-thanks-for-meeting-my-emotional-needs-ma'am. Like, a lot more complicated.But, maybe these divorcing peeps realized mid-romp that sex with their exes was kinda lame, thus making their breakups easier? We're still scratching our heads over these findings, so we gotta ask: Do you think having ex-sex can be a good thing?Photo: HBOWant more from Natasha?
