Would you jump in the sack with a friend's ex? A romance with a close pal's former beau carries a certain amount of risk. (Dating And Relating Debate).
* It may just be TV writers' fatigue, but it seems like everyone on prime time keeps hooking up with their buddies' previous lovers. Joey went after Rachel on Friends despite the fact that he's supertight with Rachel's ex Ross. And on Dawson's Creek, Joey and Jen basically participated in a boyfriend swap. Getting intimate with a friend's former flame can be dicey, so we asked Cosmo readers, would you venture into that dating territory or are a pal's old lovers always taboo?
YES: a friend's ex is fair game

"If you find someone who makes you happy, then you should go for it, no matter who he was with before. Your friend should understand. If she doesn't, then she is selfish and a bad friend."--Jessica, 20
"There is a guy code on such matters. If you want to hook up with your buddy's ex, you check with him first, but by doing so, he is obligated to concede to your request. As long as it goes down that way, it's fine."--John, 28
"I did hook up with a friend's ex, but I talked to her about it first. They had been split up for more than five years, so she was completely over him and actually wished us luck. That was four years ago, and now we're going to be married--her loss was definitely my gain."--Susan, age withheld
