Breakup/goodbye sex

I dont understand why some couples who are breaking up for whatever reason, decide to have sex and then finish it? I've heard that from many people, e.g. my mate Miss W, she was with her boyfriend for 4 years, they broke up because he said he only liked her for sex, didn't like her otherwise, yet she sexes him and then breaks up :confused: In her own words "we broke up, had our final sex and then I left him." :confused:
Someone else I know, she broke up with her boyfriend of 1 year because he cheated on her, yet they have sex after the whole argument and then separate.

Why? :confused:

Because they might not get any for sometime after they break up.

In my opinion theyre fruitcakes as it were.

Although its probably because they know eachother very well, the sex is good, and its kind of saying goodbye.

I wouldnt do it though.
One last roll in the hay is an old expression. There must have been a lot of fruitcakes about to fame such a well known saying.

People want to be close to someone they like one last time, how is that weird? I suppose some also think sex will mend the relationship.

I don't understand it, but maybe they have a thing for angry sex?
Um... because... they used to be very close... and it's a kind of goodbye, as your thread title suggests? Do you expect people who've been going out for four years to shake hands, especially knowing that they liked each other more than anything for that long, if they don't bear grudges?
I agree. Supposedly all I think about is sex...but that's a misconception. I enjoy sex because I can forget about things during sex ie only the satisfaction of my partner matters.

Maybe 1 of them has an STD they want to pass on.

The reason they broke up is because they had grudges, the fact that both of my mates hated their guys (after the breakup), why the goodbye sex though? I wouldnt want to get back to bed with someone who had cheated on me or used me, to say goodbye.

Some people don't know what to do when alone other than have sex.

Me and my boyfriend have had a few major rows and we usually end up having angry sex to get back together... maybe that's what they're hoping for?

Thats a joke right?

No, some people really have that little imagination.

Cus you think you'd feel better afterwards, or you think you need it one last time before breaking it off cus you know you'll never have it with that person again and you can't bear the thought, so you think having it one last time will help you say goodbye/make you feel better. It's a harmful illusion, but at the time, it always makes logical sense to yourself.

As people have said, sex after an argument is always good. Maybe they argue, have sex then afterwards when they have it out of their systems think " actually breaking up is the best thing to do..."

Having said that i don't understand breaking up sex either, never felt the need to sleep with someone I was breaking up with but each to their own
