''Im not interested in this arrangement anymore, dont contact me again'' will suffice.

I think "so long" would work. Or you could equivalently try "see ya," "later," or just plain ol "goodbye."

 What a mess! This man is emotionally unavailable to you and the fact that you haven't spoken for 5 weeks would tell me it was over without anyone having to say it.
In all honesty if a man told me he was just with me for sex, that would be the end for me and there wouldn't be anything gentle about it either.

 Just tell him it's over. No need for kid gloves , he obviously don't give a rats ass about your feelings so why should you care for his?
And there is NO need to keep in touch with him, honey. He will not magically figure out that you are the love of his life. DUMP the dead weight and move on. PUT him in the past.

You don't respect yourself, he doesn't respect you, there is no REAL basis for a loving relationship.
So why be friendly or kind about it? You weren't kind when you kissed that fella.
End it. No texting, nada.
MOVE ON.

 I too don't see any need to be gentle. I don't get this need to be FRIENDS with an ex... friendly terms sure... but NOT friends...
it's over
block his info and move on.

 I am also asking why are you wanting to end this gently.
I also don't understand why you want to remain in contact with somebody who used you as a convenient hole to stick his penis in when he needed sexual relief.
This person is taking up space that could be filled by a loving caring considerate person. Kick him out to create room for somebody decent to move in. Just tell him the supply has dried up and he needs to move on to the next convenience or buy a blow up doll.

 But why would you want to be gentle and keep in touch ?
he said it's just sex, and, basically, that he does not give a fig about you , so that would include also friendship feelings, that he does not have. Instead , you have romantic feelings for him, so the situation is unbalanced and you are BOUND to get hurt the more you drag it on. Just end it, and don't worry about being gentle, if it 's your sex life you are worried about, .. I don't think that a woman in her 20s has ever too much of a problem in finding a replacement .

Why do you still want to be in contact with him? For the occassional hookup? Look, if you want to end things with someone, gently or not gently he may not want to keep in contact with you. And if he only wants to have sex with you, then I really don't think he cares to keep in contact with you if you're not going to be sleeping with him anymore.
Sometimes, people just don't see themselves being with you or they don't want a relationship. Don't take it personally--just take it as a lesson learned and don't have a casual relationship with someone unless that is something that you want.
Just give him a call and tell him that you both want different things and it's probably best if you both move on to find what you're each looking for.

He already ended things gently for you when he did not speak to you for five weeks. This man doesn't even deserve a gentle closing, he basically used you until you finally spoke up, all those excuses he has are typical butthole guy sayings. Girl you don't even need to give him anymore of your time not even 30secs. Just move on and find someone who actually wants to be with you
