Many sexually active people will say there is nothing quite like make-up sex. There may be some truth to this.

A clinical psychologist is saying the emotional “high” experienced from make-up sex may be similar to effects of the addictive drug cocaine.

This great feeling obtained from make-up sex may be while it lasts, but may have a lasting impact on a relationship.

Clinical psychologist Seth Myers says make-up sex reinforces emotional drama.

“If you have amazing sex after you have a huge fight, doesn’t it make sense to fight again when the reward is so great?”

Myers says an arguing couple isn’t seeking “greater intimacy” from make-up sex.
Make-up sex, he says, is the result of “having felt and expressed extreme negative emotions during a heated argument.”

“Because these individuals get sick of feeling the negative extreme end of the spectrum, they hunger to switch gears and jump to the opposite end of the spectrum to feel the high that comes with making up,” he said.

Honestly, he said, it’s not that different from an addict who needs a hit of cocaine.

Wow, we didn’t know make-up sex was dangerous. What do you guys think?
