Does your interest in sex fade completely when you're not having it?

[NCforthis111]

Single parent in late 30s, husband left 2 years ago. The kids have found it difficult and still struggle so no jumping into new relationships for me.
I do sometimes just miss sex. Not just orgasms but generally intimacy with it too.

Do I just have to wait it out for me to just not be interested any more? Do I have to accept that part of my life is over?

At risk of stating the obvious, you can of course have sex without being in a relationship.

I don't feel as though, personally, I'll ever go off sex but I also don't feel completely reliant upon DH for it.

We've previously done some swinging, and both enjoyed that. I think if it was ever the case that DH and I weren't intimate anymore, I would look towards meeting partners from the swinging scene where there's absolutely no expectation of any type of 'relationship'. It's certainly not for everyone, of course!

If it’s not happening then yes the interest does wain but your far too young for that!

Join a few dating sites and flirt!

I think it’s understandable the kids are still struggling. But there’s no reason you need to mix a new relationship with them? Do you get free time or work etc? Meet people? If you’re anything like me you’ll soon start fancying someone!

The opposite for me when I had my dry spell I wanted it so bad

I agree with sportgirl it must makes me want it even more, masturbation obviously helps but it’s never the same is it
