Sex after split?

3 replies

Asking on behalf of a friend.

Her and her DH of 6 years split up a month ago but she is missing sex, she says she can't use toys as she is too shy to buy them.
She wants to find a man but is scared it is too soon and it wouldn't be fair on her ex.

Her question is is it too soon to go man-hunting after the marriage and if so what can she do about it?

There is no such thing as 'too soon'. Time is relative. Her 'too soon' could be someone else's 'not soon enough'! And vice versa.

But there is such a thing as 'too soon' if she's not ready, or if she's doing it for the 'wrong' reasons. These include (IMO) revenge and/or self-esteem boosting.

Her ex doesn't need to know yet, and nor does anyone else. It's nobody's business but hers.

depends if its just sex or a relationship she wants
i have friends who successfully and carefully used swinging sites to find partners for "no strings" sex.
but CARE is the keyword

erm lovehoney and ann summers do a fab online service Wink

I went crazy and slept around loads when I split from my DH. In retrospect, wish I had given myself some time before leaping straight back into the dating game as I was far too screwed up to meet anyone nice for a long time Confused

But it was a masssive confidence boost which at that time I desperately needed.
