Handling the single drought
Being single is challenging as you watch all your friends taking selfies, being on dates, and not to mention the conversations surrounding the great sex sessions they had. It is even twice as challenging if the wound is still fresh – you’re just coming out of a relationship.
How do you handle your need for intimacy in times of drought?
Brit:
I help myself. It is hard to listen to your neighbours going at it and you’re not getting any action. I simply help myself.
Kerrian:
I have a friend with benefits. I know it is wrong because he has a woman and thing, but I have needs too. He is always available to me. Sometimes I wonder what was the excuse he gave her because I do text him like at 3:00 in the morning and he lives with her and he makes himself available to me. He understands that I have been hurt a few times and it is his way of protecting me.
MF:
I recently got out of a relationship and to be honest, the nights are rough because I am used to my man being there. I recently bought some toys online to keep me sane because I don’t want a relationship just yet, and I don’t want one-off guys.
Andriene:
Sometimes I take cold showers to turn the feelings off. It is hard but I don’t want a sex pal as I am looking for something more real and meaningful.
Stace:
I simply ignore the feelings and do other things to keep my mind and body occupied.
