Some people use rebound sex to get over their ex. It staves off the feelings of loneliness that comes with being single.

Does casual sex help you get over your exes, or is it more of a release for you? Maybe do some soul searching as to why you think you need to constantly be in a sexual relationship? Are you running from anything? Does the idea of being single make you feel like a failure?

Only you know the answer if you should get back into the dating scene to find a relationship. I'm a straight female, but I know lots of straight and gay people who can't handle being single b/c it forces them to spend time alone which for whatever reason makes them uncomfortable.

I've been single for a decade, so I find it easier now than I did before, to sniff out the wrong types (not always successful, but am getting better at it now), so that I don't waste my time getting caught up in some kind of toxic connection with the wrong guy.
