makeup sex

Bedroom truce ritual

Makeup sex is sexual intercourse that occurs after a fight or period of conflict between partners.

The combination of emotional intensity, relief at reconciliation, and desire to reconnect often makes it particularly passionate: We had a huge blowup, but the makeup sex was incredible.

The term implies that physical intimacy serves as part of the reconciliation process.
