Makeup sex is an act in which couples who have just had an argument or fight engage in sexual intercourse to settle their differences. It’s usually more intense than regular sex because couples become super horny after a hot quarrel.

Imagine having a heated quarrel with your partner, and thereafter you want to settle the quarrel and bring things to where they used to be. You’re wondering how you’re going to do that, and boom… you have this great idea. In fact, you feel rather than think it because you’re already doing the intense hook-up before you get the chance to say “sex”. And after the sex, roses are red, and all’s well that ends well… until another fight.

Sex adds spice to a relationship. Makeup sex adds extra spice because it’s more intense than regular sex. When couples are often intimate with each other, the love between them never dies. It remains hot and passionate like the type you watch on Telemundo.

Having makeup sex alone will not solve the quarrel with your partner. But it does give room for better communication. You must have exhausted all that angry energy by the time you’re done with one or two rounds. This is when you’ll be in the mood to reasonably sort things out. There’s no better way of doing that than by lying naked in bed with your partner to talk.

4. Helps you accept your vulnerability

No one likes to show their vulnerable sides, especially during a fight. You need all the strength you can muster to “win.” However, makeup sex erases all that. It helps you understand that you can be vulnerable with your partner. Ironically, this is one of the factors that strengthen a healthy relationship. When you’re vulnerable with your partner, you build an intimate bond with each other that a mere quarrel will not break.

Makeup sex does not just add extra spice to your sex life; it also encourages genuine intimacy between you and your partner. Intimacy goes beyond sex. It is about truly seeing your partner and being seen. Quarrelling with your partner often brings heightened sexual arousal, and you can take advantage of that to get closer to them. It shouldn’t just end in the sheets. You should be able to share a more intense, intimate moment that makes you feel closer to your partner.

6. Helps to make you lower your guard

When you show your vulnerable side after intense makeup sex, it means you have lowered any form of inhibitions you have. Makeup sex frees you up and helps you lower your guard against your partner. You learn to let go and break down barriers that you may not even know existed in the first place. This is one of the best ways to build a healthy relationship.

7. Eases up negative tension

At that moment, it feels like the end of the world, and you’re even wondering what you saw in your partner in the first place. However, with makeup sex, the tension eases, and the world returns to equilibrium.

If you’re a prude who has been fantasizing about getting more freaky in bed, as in you’ve fantasized about different weird positions, but you didn’t have the liver to make it a reality, makeup sex is a great opportunity to get freaky. Lower your inhibitions and romp to your satisfaction. Your partner will not have enough energy to ask you where you learned that from. They’ll be too busy catching their breath.

10. Helps restore laughter to your relationship

According to Dr. Megan Fleming, a couples therapist based in New York City, even if you don’t achieve orgasm during makeup sex, the intimacy of feeling each other’s touch causes the brain to release dopamine and oxytocin. When laughter is restored in your relationship, you feel awesome, and you can easily let go of whatever residual anger you still have against your partner.

Conclusion

Couples fight all the time, even those in happy relationships. So you’re not alone if you’re in that type of situation. However, always strive to get out of it and take your relationship back to a happy level. Makeup sex provides you the opportunity. Not only will you enjoy more intense sex than before, but you will also build better intimacy with your partner, leading to a healthier relationship.
