How long after you break up with someone do you have to wait before you hook-up? have sex? Put differently (or more accurately), if you had to disclose it to the ex-SO, what would have been too short a period of time?

I agree; although, I would differentiate between the dumper and the dumped. The dumped have a license to shag that would make Austin Powers blush. The dumped can engage in sexual escapades of a kind, intensity, and frequency that would chasten Brenda from
Six Feet Under.
It's bad form for the dumper to break up with you on a Friday and appear on a public-access cable sex show on Saturday. That's just sandbagging. (Note: if there is some sort of double entendre associated with the word sandbagging, please don't explain it to me.)
There are some women that go from one long-term relationship directly into another, so that has to be permitted, even though it's really annoying. There should be some sort of e-vite service for those women. Jane breaks up with Craig on Friday, then Saturday morning you get an e-mail:
"Dear Jack, remember Jane, the girl who you wanted to date in college, but she had a boyfriend throughout. Remember how you caught up with her five years later in grad school only to discover she had just started dating someone else? Well she just broke up with him after nearly four years. This is your first chance in almost a decade to pursue a relationship with her. You'd better call her up, tell her that you've wondered how she was doing, offer her your condolences, and see if she wants to have a drink with you, otherwise you'll probably have to wait until she divorces the next man she dates."
I'd pay $9.95 a month for such a service.
When a man is considering breaking up with a woman, a prudent man will consider how he'll deal with seeing his brand-new ex in the arms of another, while the man suffers through the sort of batting slump that makes a Hall-of-Famer consider cork. I can't tell you how many friends in college broke up with girlfriends only to regret it at the next party.
