3 Legit Reasons to Take a Break from Sex

There’s not a single thing wrong with taking a break from sex. Face it, there’s more to life than getting down with the freak-nasty antics whenever you have a free moment. Having a healthy, active sex life is important to many people, and there should be no shame in embracing the importance of sex in your own life. But part of being healthy means knowing when engaging in sexual activity isn’t serving your best interests, and taking a much-needed break.

Reasons for taking a break from sex will vary by individual, but they shouldn’t include any feelings of shame if you truly enjoy what you’re doing. You also want to avoid making such a decision based on what other prescribe as “right” (read: morally correct) for you.

I recently came across an article that listed “10 Reasons to Take a Break from Sex” and I cringed at how shaming—and flat out ignorant—some of the reasons were. Here are a few situations when taking a break from sex might be the best choice you can make in the moment, and they’re not based on arbitrary rules dictating how you should feel about yourself.
You Have Moments of Poor Judgment
I am not easily embarrassed, and it’s important to me that when I do anything, I am willing to stand by it or be open to correction. Even when I’m dead wrong, I rarely feel embarrassed; I accept that I made a mistake and keep it moving. I have made sexual decisions, though, when I felt embarrassed by how far off my judgment of the person was and I opted to take temporary breaks to clear my head a bit.
The psychological impact of sexual decisions is often a lot more serious than we think. I can’t say I was ad-dic-ted (ahem) or anything like that; I don’t believe another person’s genitalia can force you to make personal decisions. I do think that I may have not been paying attention to the warning signs when the flags went up. As they say, “hindsight is 20/20,” so it was only after things went sour that I was able to look back over our interactions and pinpoint the problems. The sex was, of course, turnt all the way up, and since I was more focused on getting laid then, I ignored things that could have done way more damage in the long run.
