to ask how single mums deal with lack of sex?

[thinpinkshades]

Because I'm struggling. My son is 7 months old. I haven't had sex since I was 2 months pregnant and his dad left us. That's over a year.

I have needs...

How do you cope? My son takes up all my time so it's not like I have a chance to meet anyone...

Friend with benefits.

Ann summers do wonderful silicone willys, some even vibrate! Way better than a man sometimes!

@steff13 where can I acquire one of those?

When I had one, it was a guy I was already friends with. 🤷

Escort agency? Seriously, maybe start with online dating, accepting that you won’t have much time on your hands.

Not sure I could have sex with a random person. I've just never done it before. Sad thing is I loved my body before and during pregnancy. Now... not so much... I'm scared to get naked in front of anyone again and the longer I leave it the more it stresses me out!

May I also mention, Ann summers also does an 'ejaculating vibrator'

Must be so you can have the real experience

A wank?

Batteries. Lots of them. 😁
Lovehoney is good for deals on things.
That's if it's just the sex You're missing if it's intimacy then that's a different ball game (pun not intended!)

What does it ejaculate?

Vibrator.
Seriously it’s not so much the sex but the intimacy you’re probably missing- and a ONS or FWB won’t fix that.
I used to flirt a bit online for the attention/interaction. Did have a few ONSs but they weren’t what I really wanted. So the online flirting and masturbation worked for a while until I met DH.

Definitely the intimacy too. I just want a cuddle sometimes. You know, just to be touched.

I think you're right @Isadora2007

Honestly, I don't even think about it anymore.
I'm 40 and been a lp for nearly 8 years. I barely have time to do Important stuff I have to do. Don't know where I'd fit in anything else.
Sad.

FWB.

Waaaaay better than a vibrator!

@thinpinkshades
Sounds weird but I took up martial arts classes when I was a SP and that helped me have some physical touch. And male contact though they were all just nice guys and no romances there. My SP friend gets a massage (regular one, nothing sexual!!) to help her feel connected.
It’s bloody tough though, but I honestly did so much personal growth (cheesy as that sounds!) in the years I was a SP. I look back fondly on some aspects of it.

I coslept with DS just to be close to another person. I missed that more than the sex. To be fair my exDP was absolutely shite in bed.

Not sure I have any advice OP but PP suggestion for online dating and you can chat to people online and flirt and get some attention basically which might be what you need especially as you can do that without leaving the house

You may develop and interest in someone that way

Love honey!

Some single parent friends of mine are having more sex than me and I've got a dp

Friends with benefits is definitely the way.

Love honey!

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

Sex toy retailer!

I even have a look at the food hygiene ratings for takeaways before I order.

Thanks!

@AliceRR did I miss something?

Sex with randoms off Tinder. This gets more tricky if your children are never away overnight tho
