Let’s talk about sex?

Normally, I’m the sort of girl who likes sex a lot. Wants to have it a lot. Thinks about it a lot.
But lately? Not so much. For instance, Princess and I broke up about two (three?) weeks ago and the thought of sex hasn’t even crossed my mind since then. Not to mention the fact that, for a variety of reasons, I didn’t really have a lot of interest in it in the last month we were dating anyway. Which hasn’t really happened to me much in my life.
So what’s this all about? I don’t understand it. Have any of you ever gone through this?
And it’s not that I’m…well, I mean, I’m still taking care of my own business and all that. But I have absolutely no interest in going through the motions with another person. The thought of it seems like a chore. I feel like I’ve been married for 20 years and I forgot what sex is all about. WHAT HAPPENED? HELP!
I kind of think it’s partially because making the sex means involving someone else in my life and, frankly, I’m just not all that interested. And I know what you’re going to say. Just find someone and do the business. It doesn’t mean I have to date the person. But you see…I’ve tried that. And dudes get all attached to me. I don’t like it. I don’t want someone all attached to me right now. Hell, maybe ever.
So what do I do? How do I get it back? Does it just come back naturally? WHY HAS THE SEX ABANDONED ME?

It comes back. And when it does… it comes back kicking and screaming and pulling hair and five different kinds of crazy.
Believe me… I know. I can’t do anything without imagining the male involved on to… nevermind.

I’ve had the same feeling once in a while. It’s just a cycle. Your libido will come back, full force, trust me.
In the meantime, I suggest watching lots of porn.
Or ya know, you should be doing that anyway.
Right?

I guess this is my first cycle then. Now I feel like we’re talking about periods.

I think you just need and want some time to make/have other priorities in your life and while it’s a fine idea to just make the sex, something weird has happened to dudes that makes that practically impossible.

Sometimes, you’re just too busy for the sex. I know exactly what you mean. I mean, I’m just as driven for the sex as any girl, maybe more so, but sometimes, I don’t have much interest. Too busy!

It’ll come back. It is like when you eat too much ice cream and swear you never want to see ice cream again.

I have been like that with a guy where I wasn’t interested in having sex, but I realized its not that I didn’t want to have sex, i didn’t want to with him.
But it will come back to you. It’s like riding a bike. Or since you are from Texas then a horse.

Ha. I don’t know how to ride a bike OR a horse. But I do know how to ride a man. I’ll just assume it’s the same principal.

Oh nooo!!! You’ve lost your mojo!! Don’t worry, I lost mine for about a year. Seriously, I’m pretty sure may vag closed up for a while. It was like in scary movie where bats fly out and it was covered with cobwebs. Then it came back and I am pretty sure my actions could only be considered floozy-ish. Or whore-ish, what ev. Embrace this time of abstinence… or do what they said and watch some porn! And yes we should def do drinks!

Can’t help you with this one. But I want in on the drinks with Carissa!
I’m sure it will come back. You’re still recovering from all the Princess smothering, I think.

If bats fly out of my vagina, I’m calling you to find out what to do. I mean that.

I’m pretty sure I’ve only masturbated twice since September. That is so far from normal for me that I don’t even know what to say. Combined with the fact that new guy and I haven’t reached that point yet…I’m about to scream. Not in a good way. So basically, I’ll trade you if you want.

I think I’ve lost my mind because it *seems* like I just read a pretty girl’s blog and she said that she wanted to find a guy to have sex with, but doesn’t want him hanging around and trying to start a relationship.
Holy shit… You’re a unicorn!!!

Whoa, just because the Dallas water supply got contaminated with GIANT VAGINA men, you don’t have to generalize… Jeez.

I’m pretty sure it does. Because I live in Dallas and therefore have to deal with the Vagina Pool. Which sounds like it would be a lot of fun, I admit, but when you’re looking for a dude…

I think you hit the nail on the head (pun intended)- you’re not ready to invite someone new into your life; so you have two options: hit-it-and-quit-it or take care of yourself. With time, all this shall pass and you’ll be back on the saddle!

Guess we’ll see. But the hit-it-and-quit-it thing is the PROBLEM. They get all attached and clingy. Ick.

ugh, know what you mean about guys developing FEEEELIIIINGS. girls are supposed to be the ones who can’t handle emotionless sex, but HA. not in MY experience!
i wouldn’t worry – i suspect once you’re ready to get back on the horse, so to speak, you’ll be cravin’ it just like you usually do.

I don’t think I’ve ever had much of a sex drive, unless there’s a person I want to have it WITH. Weird, I know.
So, yeah, I’m not much help. But maybe a little John Hamm a la Mad Men viewing could be?

Me time. It’s a good thing. Enjoy it while it lasts. If it doesn’t come back when you eventually meet the next guy that makes you all mushy inside — and you will — then you can worry.

Oh, I love “Me Time” more than the average person. Trust me. I appreciate it. This was not about whining because I’m not WITH someone. I don’t want to be with someone at all right now.

It’s a post-break-up thing I think. even if the break was completely mutual and amicable and all that shit, I always come away really not feeling like having sex with anything right now thanks.
