Thoughts?

If its a real breakup, you can walk across the street immediately after break up and have sex with the first person you meet willing to have sex with you. You can also do this if its a "Lets break up but still have sex every now and again" type breakup.
You cannot have sex immediately if its a phony "We're broken up now, but we both know we'll be calling each other up to reconcile in the next week" type breakup. Those types of breakups are breakups in name alone. However, if you have sex with someone within the week between the initial phony breakup and the first
telephone call from the supposed ex, and you divulge the sex with the third party to the ex-in-name-only, you will likely convert the phony breakup into a legitimate breakup.*
*If the ex-in-name-only agrees to rekindle despite learning of the third party sex, you should not rekindle with the supposed ex because either the supposed ex was cheating on you all along and that's why he/she isn't upset by your sex with the third party or the supposed ex has no self esteem at all.
