Thoughts?

Isn't sleeping with other people one of the major perks of breaking up with someone? Technically, you could go out and find someone that night and you'd be within your rights.
Practically, all sorts of factors are at play, including but not limited to, how much you care about what the other person (and their friends) think of you, how much you want to sleep with someone else, the duration of the previous relationship, the reasons for the break up (infidelity on the other party's part should give you immediate sleeping with other people rights), whether there's someone actually willing to sleep with you, whether your ex is already moved on to someone else, and whether the word will get back to your ex.
