Sex after seperation

December 22 2016

Hey girlfriends, I have been separated for almost a year now after a long term relationship and still haven't been with anyone. Even though I feel more confident in myself now that what I have for a long time I am still really scared about having sex with someone new. Am tempted to just hook up to break the ice but also get scared about safety. Thoughts?? Help me!! I really miss a warm body. Teach me your ways wise women

    Just do it! Once you've done it and realise what you've been missing, you'll want more. Or alternatively...if it's bad you'll need to find another one to wash that bad taste out of your mouth (so to speak!) ;-) - Posted from rhpmobile

    I have been separated for over a year, but only waited 2 months before getting back out there. I missed sex and the sex I found on here was so good with a couple of exceptions. But since doing this, I have opened up sexually and couldn't go back to the sex I was having in my marriage. It's exciting and new and learning the turn ons of a new partner is awesome! Seriously, there is nothing to be afraid of, they will make it all worth it! - Posted from rhpmobile

    Sex after seperation - not with the x. Never go back!

    Screen really well and once you get a good gut feeling just go for it! Meet publicly and if it feels like butterflies then go with it. You won't regret it when you find the right one that blows your mind and gets you comfortably back in the saddle :) Happy hunting! We're spoiled for choice on this site! - Posted from rhpmobile

    Put your confidence to work and be real confident and brave about going out there to find the connection that you want. Treat it like as if you were getting back in the dating scene again, except that sex would probably happen on the second date 😁 or even on the first date, if the mutual chemistry was strong 😜 go with your guts instinct and enjoy the moment instead of getting restricted in the traditional dating rules, where you must hold your horse when it comes to sex 😄 Having a good BS filter is the way to go when it comes to online dating like the business on RHP. Take your time to get to know the person, insist on the "meet first and play later" rule. Then if you and a man hit it off really well on your first meeting, then who is there to stop you from having a good time? 😜 - Posted from rhpmobile

    I joined RHP about a month after my break up. I needed sex but didn't have the time or means to go out and meet men at pubs etc. - Posted from rhpmobile

    It was a hard thing for me too. Luckily I found someone amazing, who made the whole experience awesome. Don't put too much stress on yourself, and go at your own pace. You deserve to be happy, and to feel pleasure.

    Hi, OP! Brave of you to venture into uncharted territory and a strange, new frontier! Congrats on finding your confidence again! After a breakup, some of us do wallow through some pretty bad times and low points but sounds like you seem to be ready to get a little groove back in your life again! Your apprehension is understandable - safety if of utmost importance. There are unsavoury characters lurking out there so it does pay to be very stringent with your criteria. If your sixth sense is nudging you and your alarm bells are blaring out loud, step on the brakes, take your foot off the accelerator, and proceed very slowly and with caution, or call it off. Remember, there are many many many new fishes out in the deep blue sea and you can take your time to wait for the best catch! When you first start out, there are bound to be lots of fishes that you'll end up tossing back into the ocean and that's alright. We all start somewhere and we learn lessons along the way. Eventually, we'll shake off our ignorance and naivete and learn to play with our own rules. I wanted to shake my little world up a bit and was really clumsy and like a deer caught in headlights sometimes. Eventually, you learn that there are lovely, kind gentlemen out there and who knows... they just might have undergone some sorta separation themselves and are also as apprehensive and fearful as you are about restarting the rusty sex engine once again. Be very sure of what you are looking for. In the meantime, it may be a good idea to satisfy your lust and kick start your ol' groove back by just enjoying sex purely for the sake of sex with a safe partner(s). It does take time to find a perfect match so initially, you might get a bit disorientated by guys who seem to be sincere but turn out to be otherwise. It's ok. Be ready to forgive yourself for any misjudgements that might occur and then dust off and move on into the sparkly moonlight! I wish you much luck in searching for the right warm body... and may he turn out to be more than just that for you!

    There will come a time when you are back in the saddle.... it's up to you to choose when, and who you ride with. I feel that your needs and desires will bring that time soon.... so accept everything as an adventure, and opportunity as a learning experience. A new lover holds potential, or a painful experience. Just move forward in good knowledge of what you will and won't tolerate from another person right from the start of communication and the rest will take care of itself Because you're worth what you want DG - Posted from rhpmobile
