Welcome to the board, Jennifer.

It sounds like you have a good handle on your breakup. As far as sex, if masturbation isn't doing it for you, have you thought about finding a friend with benefits (FWB). A lot of people want a no strings relationship, yet they want a mutually satisfying sexual relationship.

There are internet dating sites if you're not sure about meeting people in public places.

Thanks Misty - I can honestly say that thought had't occurred to me!

The dating site idea is a good one. I have been in few sexual relationships with some very dear and close friends of mine, where we love each other and care for each other, but don't feel "that way" towards each other. So, it is someone I can trust, talk to, hang out with and have sex with, but not have the strains and stresses of a bf/gf relationship. You both want to please each other sexually and, best of all, because of the openness and honestly, there are no feelings hurt and no worries about STDS. It certainly doesn't work that way for everyone, and I certainly aren't suggesting ripping the clothes off of your male friends, but that has been the best "single sex" I could ask for.

I also seem to acquire more toys while I'm single and can't have sex regularly. They make for good fun while in a relationship, too.
