Conflict Resolution & Sex 1

Self-Reflection is Essential

Whether makeup sex is healthy or not requires us to self-reflect on the surrounding circumstances.

Ask yourself these questions:
  • Was the conflict actually resolved well enough?
  • If the conflict went unresolved, will it get addressed later?
  • Are all parties involved enthusiastically consenting to the makeup sex?
Sex and conflict can strengthen intimacy when all partners involved are using them consciously.
Conflict Resolution & Sex 2
Here are some common questions that get asked…
Conflict Resolution & Sex 3
Is sex more likely to occur on days when we experience conflict?

Is sex that occurs in conflict more satisfying?
Conflict Resolution & Sex 4
Sometimes arousal from conflict increases the intensity of sexual activity.  Sex after conflict can be a way to repair, reconnect, and reassure the relationship.
Conflict Resolution & Sex 5
However, unresolved conflict can build resentment & harm relationships, which can decrease desire for intimacy.  If sex is used to avoid resolving conflict then it can become problematic.
Conflict Resolution & Sex 6
Makeup sex — when conflict is resolved well — can revitalize relationships.  It’s yet another benefit of sex to enjoy.
