Pity Fuck

When someone has sex with another person out of sympathy rather than sexual desire, it's known as a "pity fuck." The phrase "sex" is frequently used in a derogatory manner even though it can be a means of providing comfort and affection to someone. It can suggest that the recipient of the pity fuck is somehow undeserving of sex or desire. People may also use "pity fuck" as an after-the-fact justification for having sex with a partner they're conflicted about.

More About Pity Fuck

There are many anecdotal accounts of persons who gave a pity fuck, even though there is no actual data on the number of people who chose to have sex in this manner. Among the causes include the fact that the individual was a virgin, had sexual insecurities, was depressed and in need of consolation, or was in some other manner ugly.

Consenting adults may have sex for any reason, but to make sure that everyone ends the engagement feeling good, it's better to be open and honest with partners about their motivations.
