Newly single how to cope

[outherealone]

I’m newly single. I had the best most exciting and adventurous sex ever with my ex. We split for other reasons.
I don’t think I can contemplate a relationship again at least for a considerable amount of time. I’ve been through a lot of trauma and hung on to this guy because I needed comfort.
Anyway...
I have a HUGE sex drive, sometimes masturbating a few times a day.
That’s ok but I crave physical sex.
I struggle with casual sex as I always feel sex works better for me the more I get yo know my partner and vice versa.
I also don’t think I’m emotionally strong enough for an fwb and my body confidence is st Ann all time low due to disability and knowing my ex was hankering after perfect and much younger exes.
So how do I cope being sex-free? And not having physical intimacy with another person?
Does anyone have a satisfactory solo sex life?

Solo sex comes with singledom and is something we all have practiced from time to time until the next lover turns up. Solo sex is also practiced within relationships IYSWIM.
Getting to know someone well enough to be comfortable can happen on the first date or the third/fourth date. It depends on the chemistry.
Perhaps it's a matter of riding the wave for now until you feel confident enough to get out there again.
And yes a solo sex life can be satisfactory. and there are ways and means of spicing it up. Sometimes I prefer it, depends what I'm feeling at the time about embarking on another relationship.

Thank you noego for your very enigmatic post

From experience, I would suggest take things at your own time on your own terms. Rush into things when you want to, hold back when you don’t; ensure others don’t try and moral police your life.

Enjoy your body, your control and let go when it feels right for you. Hold back when it feels wrong. There’s a lot of fun to be had, both with others and by yourself.

And stock up with batteries.

@StarlightLady ha! Re batteries, everything has run out!
Thanks for your input

Actually "starlight" is spot on. It is also a time to explore your body and to discern what it likes and dislikes IFSWIM. it will help with future lovers if you can communicate that which you like and how you like it :)

Just see what comes up in everyday dating potential interactions. Most single people are horny as hell and getting by somehow/

@zarek yes I think I’m a bit vulnerable rn. I’ll just need to get through this bit before I can let anybody near me
