Has anyone else had this problem? What do you do to satisfy your cravings when you're single? I masturbate but that doesn't help much. I've never had this problem before because it was only with my last boyfriend that I discovered how great sex can be. I was having a friends with benefits thing with someone who wasn't over his ex, but I kept developing feelings for him so I obviously can't separate physical and emotional intimacy very well in anything long term. I haven't slept with him for 2 months now - so yes, that's right, it's only been 2 months since I had sex and I'm going nuts already. I know I could go out and find a guy willing to sleep with me, or go for one of my guy friends, but that's not what I want. Is it normal to feel like this? Is there anything I can do to tide me over until my next relationship?

A lot of people have this problem and there's only one real answer. I live with my girlfriend but even if she's away for a week with work I go out of my mind. Some people can go months and months without sex or masturbation. It sounds like your need for sex is so overpowering that you're going to have to find a solution rather than risk losing your job. Safe sex with a stranger on a one night stand might do it for you, it might not. If you can't separate emotions with a physical relationship then I guess a friend with benefits is out of the question.
