But, I figure this is the one place where people won't judge me.
I think I use sex as a way to make myself feel better. What made me realize this was something my ex said after we broke up. He said, "It doesn't matter. You'll be fucking other people in two weeks just to feel special again. I know you." His comment hurt me a lot, but sure enough, about a month later, I found myself in bed with someone else. It's not like I sleep with just anyone; I'm either dating them, or I'm good friends with them. But I know this is a problem, and it defintely doesn't help with my self esteem. Any advice?

I WAS LIKE YOU AT ONE POINT IN MY LIFE. I USED IT AND IT DIDNT GET BETTER UNTIL I LOVED MY SELF AND RESPECTED MYSELF. IT WAS TOUGH, I WAS TRYING TO GET COMFORT,LOVE, AND HAPPINESS. I HATED BEING ALONG AND I COULDNT IMAGINE DOING THAT TO MYSELF AGAIN...I SUGGEST THERAPY OR YOU CAN MESSAGE ME ANYTIME AND I CAN TRY AND HELP YOU THE BEST I CAN WITHOUT A DEGREE:)

I'd talk to your best friend (unless you just have closer friends) or someone you really trust and love that you feel comfortable enough talking about this with. My best friend had/maybe still has this problem and I kept talking to her and told her every positive about her. She depends on guys wayy too much and feels that guys are the only thing that can make her feel any better but she doesn't realize that she depends on guys that much. But if you get yourself to realize that sex isn't everything then you will be able to start regaining control of yourself from there. I don't know what you're going through because I have never had sex but I hope that my somewhat of an advice can help you. I may not know you but I do care :).

Here's a question I have to ask. What is your relationship like with your father? Sometimes, and I am working on a psych minor and currently am doing therapeutic recreation at BYU so I am just solely going on opinion and my own thoughts and some things that I have read, so you can listen or not, but I woudl really like to help. Sometimes women have different relationships with men based on how their fathers treated them while growing up. DId you have a good relationship with your father? Was he around often? If so, then I am way off, but my thoughts are, you may be acting out sexually because you are searching for a comfort from men because you didn't receieve it when you were little from your father.

I went through this too. Have been divorced for about a year. My ex and I have always been good friends and we planned the divorce for maybe 3 years, sounds strange, sorry. We had not been sexually active for about 5 years, just kind of lived as friends, just shared an address. He told me basically the same thing when we finally parted ways. I have been with 2 guys since then, one is married with no intention of leaving his wife (thought of this as a safe relationship). When that relationship started my self esteem bottomed out but I just couldn’t put it away. And then later on the other relationship started with someone who had been separated for 8 years. Unfortunately divorce is not possible for the second as medical problems have caused him to move back in with his wife I have been seeing both of them at the same time. Both are fantastic sex partners for different reasons. Neither have really helped my self esteem problems although the 2nd one has been really making an attempt at talking with me.
Don't know your age but for me hormones are rearing their heads. Have gone through a series of prescription herbal sessions. It helped me awhile back and have been considering doing it again.
