Sexual desire for my ex is still so strong, is this normal?

Question - (11 October 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 11 October 2009)
A male United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My girlfriend of 2 years split up with me a couple of weeks ago and it was very very painful.

Anyway, we met up yesterday for coffee- for no other reson than to try and clear the air a little so we could both move on (we both live and work in a very small town and we will bump into each other a lot!)

My problem is that although my feelings for her are very gradually starting to go, or at least things are starting to hurt less, the sexual desire is not. I just couldn't look at her without wanting to be having sex with her, etc etc!

These are difficult feelings to deal with and are generally a lot stronger than when we were together.

They are more than just seeing an attractive girl and wanting to go with her, the feelings I have are so much more intense.

All I can think about when I masterbate is her as well. And yet its so emotionally painful to do so.

How do i get over these feelings? Should I have casual sex with someone else? (I've not wanted to up until now but my feelings of desire towards my ex yesterday were so strong!!) I can't bare to have these feelings so intensely everytime I bump into her, etc.

I know I will never ever force myself on her. NEVER. I care far too much about her and would never do that anyway.

Are these feelings normal? I've never had them before when I've had a break up.

Please someone help me out.

Yes, they're normal. You were with her for 2 years, and that's quite a lot of time. I'm afraid it will just take you time. Give yourself time to heal and you'll move on.
