Your Ex Wants Sex. . . Is a Booty Call Ever OK?

The temptation to hook up can do you in. Is sex with an ex ever a good idea? 3 Ways To Know for Sure

"I am going to be in town for a couple of days and I would love to see you." the familiar voice said hopefully. Instantly I am flooded with emotions both good and bad. We had been broken up for a few months and I had been trying to evict him from my mind ever since. Unbidden, thoughts about him and how hot the sex was, how beautiful I felt when I was with him, how romantic it was to sip wine at sunset, had been running through my mind for weeks.
