    The DOs and DON'Ts of Makeup Sex

    By Ariane Marder, Glamour magazine


    "Dang, you're sexy when you're mad."

    Have you ever had a heated argument only to find yourself having crazy passionate sex minutes later? Makeup sex can be as fiery and passionate as the first time you laid hands on one another. But it's not always a smart idea to go from brawl to bed. Here are some DOs and DON'Ts for keeping it healthy:

    DO: Resolve the argument before getting frisky.
    Having sex in place of resolving the conflict is not a good way to go. You don't want to use it as a temporary cure, like a band-aid on an open wound, because the next time the issue arises, you'll be doubly upset.


    DON'T: Use it to reignite the passion in your relationship.
    It shouldn't take a blow-out to get you two in bed. If fighting is the only way to create intimacy, then makeup sex is not the solution.

    DON'T: Bring up the fight mid-hump.
    If you have an urge to say, "Oh, and one other thing…," this is not the time. If you have something on your mind, wait until you're both calm and level-headed to discuss it.


    DO: Have makeup sex to reconnect and enhance intimacy.
    Let it all out, girl. Take advantage of the surges of hormones and adrenalin pumping through your bod, and put it to good use.


    What's your take on makeup sex? Do you like it? When do you think it's a good idea?

      make-up sex is a myth.

      i don't think it's possible to be angry at someone who is naked. :)

      That's the last thing on my mind after being angry and still have those feelings no matter how much other communication or sorry has taken place. It takes a good whole day to feel halfway ready to have it again. All it does otherwise is make me feel resentment towards him. I don't want him in my body when I will just feel that way.

      'Make-up' sex is for those who are going to break up eventually anyways. The ones who can't have true communication after an argument.

      Who usually eats a full meal soon after vomiting?? Hardly anyone at all. They start off with a little drink of water.. crackers, toast, and work towards a full meal. Sometimes it takes a good day to get to the point you're ready for that full meal. That's how sex should be treated after an argument so you don't feel resentment. At least in a marriage.

      Hmmm......Does this mean I should pick a fight? We never fight, so what do I do?

      I think the key is resolving an argument before actually having sex. I've never really understood the draw to makeup sex.

        Oh Stephen live a little. Take of your engineering cap and put on your horny cap. Sometimes you just got stop the fight and get naked :)

      I agree that Resolving the issue first is a good idea. Because I DEfinetly don't want sex when I am angry. Nothing is more aggrivating than a man wanting to have sex when you both just had an argument..... That's just not the time. Now when both parties have apologized and talked about it and worked it out then the makeup sex is Great! Until then, its a no go.

      Makeup sex? I thought it meant your girlfriend is making it all better because your wife is being a b!t@#.

      Make-up sex is awesome, I've had some of the best orgasms following a heated argument.
      • Johnny D Javier 2 months ago
        You go woman...have those orgasms...you sure your not faking it??
    • Alexander  •  3 months ago
      Stupid what a waste..

      Makeup sex is always a good thing. Nothing better than taking your frustrations out on each other in a sexual way :).

        hehehehehe. I do agree that it is better to resolve the issue that created the fight first. Then you can use the surge for whatever comes up.;) Of course, you can always agree upon some subjects are open to arguing because you both realize that that particular subject is unimportant and doesn't need to be resolved and use it to get your blood pumping.

        I remember my then boyfriend and I got into the only argument we have ever had and I wouldn't drop the argument. So he looked at me and said, "Geez can you just stop, get naked and lets f***?" So I got undressed and said, "Okay, but this doesn't mean it's OVER!" lmao.
      • Frank 3 months ago
        :) I do know women who have felt out of sorts for a whole day, but could not allow themselves to have sex and they relieve their stress by having an altercation with their significant other. We humans are a funny creature in that we have to lie to ourself to get what we want.

      Does anyone else see this as a contradiction? "DON'T: Use it to reignite the passion in your relationship...If fighting is the only way to create intimacy, then makeup sex is not the solution." and "DO: Have makeup sex to reconnect and enhance intimacy...Take advantage of the surges of hormones and adrenalin pumping through your bod, and put it to good use." I'm just saying...

      I absolutely hate makeup sex. It means there was a fight that had to happen beforehand. I hate fighting with my wife. On the couple of times we have had makeup sex, it has been after we both were crying and had made up completely.

      It might just be me, but after being mad at my husband the last thing I want to do is go have sex with him.
