I miss sex

NN change, but long standing poster...

I split up from my ex six months ago. Sex for years a while had been very mechanical (on my part) before that. I don't miss having a man about the house, but I do miss sex.

I'm not averse to DIY, and I've discovered a new interest in lovehoney, but I miss the human aspect.

I'm not ready at all to start dating again - it's messy with the ex, and I'm having to do a lot of healing personally but also with the dcs, so I've no interest in introducing another person into the chaos which is my life.

But I do miss sex. Have I mentioned that already?!

I don't think I'm asking for any suggestions. I think I just want to say it out loud as it were and to know that I'm not abnormal.

Perfectly normal!

I split up with someone last summer and really missing it! Haven't felt ready to date seriously again and looked at some casual dating sites but found the pics of willies and the hundreds of married men looking for affairs pretty off putting.

Making do with Literotica and a few faithful toys at the moment!

No advice, just wanted to say I'm the same. A FWB "arrangement" fizzled out recently and I'm reeeeeeeeeally missing the sex. Can't be bothered with a relationship though. Sigh...

Tragically mrfrancis I'm about 150 miles away!

Thanks for the responses though. It helps to know its not just me. Well, a little bit anyway!

It doesn't help that ex was always going on about my abnormally low sex drive and now he's gone I can't stop thinking about sex! Obv he never twigged it wasn't my sex drive that was the problem but him! Oh well. I shall remain frustrated for now Sad

God no, it's not just you. I left my husband 18 months ago and apart from a couple of brief encounters, it's been fairly barren. Im the same as you, have no interest at all in introducing a man into my life, but could do with a damn good seeing to on a regular basis.

Ok. Penny dropped. You were born in 82....that means I am actually11 years older than you!! Are we hijacking the thread?! ;)

You are perfectly normal.

I have only recently started dating again after being widowed and has missed sex terribly.

For me it wasnt just about the physical act, but the closeness.
