I didn't want the thread to be raunchy as that's not what I'm asking.
I often read about women saying on threads how it's so easy for women to get D if they want. I'd like to know where these women speak off and why it's so easy but so difficult for me!
Lighthearted really. But I'm in my late 30's and being singe is no fun at all when you love sex like I do!
I don't understand where I'm going wrong...
I'm relatively attractive. Definitely not a stunner but certainly not hideous!
I have a job and a nice home. I'm a good friend and genuinely a really nice person! So I don't understand my predicament at all 😂
I know no one can give me an answer but where does all this 'it's so easy to find a man for sex' come from?

Getting DICK is the easiest thing in the world

I'm in my 50's and could literally smile and make eye contact with any bloke roughly my age and have him back at my house in an hour Confused and I am NOT a looker

Men are pathetic

Totally agree with this..

I'm 50. I know I could go out this evening and find someone to go home with if I wanted.

Probably with one of the men I've casually known for a few years who frequently let me know I could choose them 🙄

And I wouldn't say I'm much of a looker either!

Low standards? I mean, pretty sure if you set up a profile online and said you were up for no strings sex you'd be inundated. If you want to have safe sex with an adult within your age bracket, who has decent person hygiene, is interested in making sure you also enjoy the experience and isn't aggressive, mentally unsound, morally or physically repulsive to you then that probably thins the field a bit...............

I think if you are literally just after sex it wouldn’t be too difficult.
As others have said you could join a dating site as that’s all they seem to be good for these days.
However, in your post you mention having a good job, home and being a nice person - all of which are irrelevant in a just-sex relationship which leads me to think you do actually want more and that is why it is difficult.

Personally I would love to be able to go out and meet someone just for sex however due to past trauma, I just can’t do it. I need to know the person and be able to fully trust them before I can have sex with them, makes it even harder to get that D

ZippyLimeSnake · 16/11/2024 14:57

It’s very easy, but I suppose it depends what you’re looking for really. If you’re looking for a no string attached one night thing or a no strings few times here & there I’d go on the likes of Tinder. If you’re looking for something more romantic then it leads to sex, I do think that’s harder to come by. But definitely drinks & sex is easy to do when you go on dating sites.

I think sex is easy to get whether you’re male or female, you just have to put yourself out there for it so to speak.

I'm sure you're at least a bit of a looker because it's not like that for everyone lol

CaravaggiosCat · 16/11/2024 14:50

Lol she wasn't being coy. It's literally just slang used quite frequently nowadays.

Doggymummar · 16/11/2024 14:47

Walk into any bar, any building site, anywhere guys are and shout any one up for it and you'll get half a dozen, unless your confidence is misplaced. Also kebab and chicken shops after midnight. How do I know? My hairdresser told me and she is nearly sixty and regularly has no strings sex with men half her age.

TheShellBeach · 16/11/2024 14:17

Ah, so it means Dick.

Why couldn't you just say that?

hazelnutvanillalatte · 16/11/2024 14:08

Tinder or Bumble

MumblesParty · 16/11/2024 14:04

On the remote off-chance this isn’t a joke thread - OP if you want casual no-strings sex, you could have it tonight. In half an hour in fact. Just go on to any dating site, say that you want just sex, and you will get 100 replies within a few minutes.

Dance partner I think

gamerchick · 16/11/2024 13:38

Any women can get dick of they want. As long as they're not choosy like. There are slim pickings out there. You have to sift through the pervs, the ones that won't use condoms, hygiene etc.

Ultimately you have to feel safe with whoever you want to shag. That's why a lot of people go for ex shags on occasion.

ComtesseDeSpair · 16/11/2024 13:38

If you just want no-strings sex with a good looking stranger of your choice, then hookup apps, nightclubs, and (if you’re in London) parties like TG, KV, Decom etc are your friend. It’s not that difficult. You can often turn into a longer term FwB arrangement if it goes well.

If you prefer to build a connection first before any sex then it’s probably a lot more effort.

Can’t work it out from the post, no?

The only single people I know all use online dating apps!

For me, it was ex partners. When I was single - and they knew I was single, I would sometimes get a "hey, how are you?" Text every few months. If I followed that up it would almost certainly end up in a sexual encounter if I had wanted it to be.

So yeah, any ex partner or old male colleague/friend etc.

ex partner I can understand.
Old male friends and colleagues though?!
