The phenomenon in which two acquaintances/friends, both recently single after the dissolution of a long term
relationship, become engaged in a purely sexual
relationship. This must occur very shortly after the dissolution of said long term
relationship.
This phenomenon is quintessentially mutual and void of strategic action and time ordering of events beyond the fact that both of your past relationships ended around the same time. Put bluntly, you both become single and then bam, one night you just start to hook up.
Person 1: It was really strange. Last night I thought I heard Adam leaving
Jen's room.
Person 2: Ya that's kinda
weird. They both just broke up with their
ex's a couple weeks ago
Person 1: I think we're witnessing the MRS phenomenon
Person 2: Huh?
Person 1: Mutual-rebound-sex
