Is it wrong to crave sex after losing a child?
Now, we’re talking about loss, we’re talking about grief, and we’re talking about sex. The first question I would like to answer is whether it is wrong for a person to crave sex after losing a child. And maybe not even just after losing a child—maybe after losing a parent, because I’ve seen people say, “Oh, after we suffered this loss, I just wanted more sex. I just wanted sex like that.” So, is it wrong?
The Straight Answer
The direct, straightforward answer is actually no. It is not wrong. You are human, and we all respond to loss. We all grieve in different ways.
Different Grief Responses
For some people, they may shut down completely, and it may take them almost a year to start regaining themselves. But for others, they may crave closeness—intimate closeness.
Why Some People Crave Sex During Grief
This loss, in some way, reminds them of how fragile life is. For people who want sex during grief, it’s simply a way for their body to reach for comfort.
It Doesn’t Mean They’re Not Grieving
It does not necessarily mean that they are forgetting the child or the person who died, or that they are not mourning or grieving, or that they don’t see the loss as a big deal. It simply means, “Hey, this is how they respond.” And we all know that, and we regard that.
Conclusion
It is not wrong if you crave sex after losing a child or losing a loved one.
