Published on July 27, 2021, a popular saying suggests that only those who share a bed truly understand what's going on in a marriage or relationship. This phrase may hold some truth, especially when it comes to intervening in a partner's relationship.
Have you ever found yourself telling a friend or sister to kick their cheating partner to the curb, only to discover that they've kissed and made up, leaving you feeling foolish? You're not alone. It's not uncommon for arguments to lead to hot, steamy makeup sex, and some people even get turned on by this dynamic.
So, why does this happen? According to psychologists, anger may be connected to arousal, and this could explain why you get horny after a fight with your partner. This trauma may have been picked up from your childhood, and your body may use sex as a coping mechanism to replace feelings of fear or abandonment.
When you get into a fight with someone, especially a romantic partner, stress hormones are elevated, and your body starts to yearn for closeness. Sex provides a safe outlet for this desire, and the release of feel-good hormones like oxytocin can give you the relief you need.
It's also possible that fighting and makeup sex can be a suppressed fetish you haven't discovered. Some people derive pleasure from inflicting and receiving pain, which may include fights with a partner. The more it hurts, the better it feels, and this can be especially true for those who practice BDSM.
Finally, the makeup sex that follows a heated argument can be a major turn-on. After a fight, you may find yourself wanting to reconnect with your partner, and once the apologies and forgiveness have taken place, the next natural step is the makeup sex. This helps you to make that connection you missed while you were at loggerheads and establishes the bond that was threatened.
