Why You Should Have Sex With Your Significant Other When You’re Fighting

Birds aren’t the only ones who know how to get angry.  Couples have that covered, too.  We hit a boiling point that sends us over the edge, and boom.  Fight: initiated. It happens. And it comes and goes.  But the next time a heated argument blossoms between you and your S.O., try to take advantage.  This is the perfect time to rip each other’s clothes off and get buck wild.  The both of you already have your blood pumping, so you might as well put it to good use.  Here are the 15 reasons you should be having sex directly after (if not during) a fight.What are your thoughts on makeup sex?

Aggression is just another form of passion. Use all of that raw energy that's pumping through you. Two negatives actually do equal a positive.

Extend the fight. No one says you have to make up just because you're making out. There's no reason to play nice. Demand what you want, when you want it and how hard you want it.

It can change your mood. When you're fighting, you may not be thinking about how sexy you consider this person. Taking their clothes off will definitely refocus your perspective.

Sex can calm you down. Imagine yourself in the moments just after sex. You're likely breathing hard, laying beside one another, and not thinking about... anything. It's like great dessert after a mediocre dinner.

Take your anger out on them. Forget that stupid fight. Other things have been pissing you off, too. And rough, angry sex can help you let all of that frustration out.

It reminds you both how much you love each other. The fight was pointless. And you'll realize that the second you can't take your hands off each other.

You can both prove your dominance. You're both feeling the heat. So use it. Show each other who's boss.

When you fight, your blood pressure rises. You're physically ready for sex, so why fight it?

Are we so different from animals? We're wild. We enjoy the uncontrollable passion. Sex is the perfect vehicle.

It beats shouting. If you're going to boost those vocals, put them to good use. Screaming is totally ok, and it's not going to piss anyone off.

It'll help you laugh it off. If you're close enough, you've probably gotten pretty good at laughing off the little things. Sex will really put your tiff into perspective.

Kill the tension. You both are obviously not in the best place. Sex is there to help.

The fight was about more than wanting forgiveness. There's nothing wrong with wanting a little attention. And sometimes that's what a fight really is. What'll give you more attention that getting down and dirty?

You can get away with innocent pain. No, you have no intentions of inflicting pain, but rough sex lets you get away with some harmless pinching and slapping that you can't really get away with any other time.

You're mouths will be too busy to shout. During sex, our mouths are usually doing something. Between all the moaning and kissing and sucking, who has time for words?
