Uuuuuuuuuuummmmmm... That is fine, if you don't feel like being intimate with anyone right now, it is understandable you don't want to be hurt again by them maybe using you for sex, but time changing feelings, But as for now... Do what you feel most comfortable with. There is no timeline to follow, of when people should do what....Just be happy...

If you feel more happier this way..

then more power to you..

Nothing wrong with that at all

Just a thought.

Understandable you might not want emotional intimacy thrown into the mix.

Alternative is just to have fun if you find someone you are physically attracted to, and keep it light. You will need to have some kind of 'transition' time. But it is highly personal, and every woman is different after a major break up.

Nothing needs to be forced, that's the most important thing to remember. You do not have to do anything, if you don't want to.

You need time to heal.

Withholding sex from ones self is a for of self-abuse..

Just another thing to consider..

So many do have a FEAR of intimacy...

Form..

Gotta agree with you there. I was celibate (self imposed) for 16yrs while my kids were growing up and I was studying. VERY SILLY! Finally found out what I was missing out on!

It (sex) can be simply a bit of fun or it can be a spiritual experience with the one you love. But, I feel, it is a necessary component of LIFE.

While mastubating is enjoyable, it is nothing like having sex or making love with another person. The sharing of enjoyment or love is an experience in itself and not to be denied to yourself. JMO.

Thats sad, I would miss the intimacy more than anything.

You have to do what's right for you. When it comes to physical intimacy in a relationship, it has to feel right to both partners. If he's willing to have the patience to wait for you to be ready, then you've found a gem. Take your time, but if you feel it will never happen with him, then consider that maybe he's not the right man after all...he's just a very good friend. Someone to treasure still, though.

Yes, it's necessary.

--- I beleive it is not necessary to have sex - and if your happier - wow- One can only imagine what it will be like when you meet someone that you would want to share your love with

Sex makes about 50% of a relationship! If you don't want, than why don't you live with your brother or sister - or go back to mom? At least you know them already very well!

Lol, sounds like a man's question.

Sex necessary for what? It is only necessary when your body asks for it.
