Here's why you should think twice before having revenge or rebound sex.

Break ups can be highly emotional and can even make a sane person highly irrational, which is why there are so many songs and references about revenge or rebound sex in popular culture.

When the thought of having revenge sex crosses your mind, you can’t help but wonder if it is a good idea. Many people claim that the best way to get over someone is to get under someone new.

In fact, a study published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behaviour revealed that 25% people admitted to having revenge sex. Another 35% of people revealed they had rebound sex.
