While I have been going through a breakup for a long time now I often receive advice from people I know telling me that to get over someone from the past I need to get under someone new. The advice seems a bit odd at first but then I actually started thinking about the idea and was wondering the advice from this public forum. Has anyone ever used sex as a means to forget about the past and does this really work? I've got say, if this does work I would really like to flip through my options phone book and find out. For me, it's kind of been a while since I have done the deed, so i guess i have tried everything except for doing trying the no strings attached route. I see people doing this all the time and at least in short term it seems to work. But, i am a bit scared to try it myself. Your thoughts?
I've heard about it....something along the lines: "If you want to get rid off unwanted feelings for someone, you need to f**k them out".
I'm sure it probably works for some.
Seems like a GOLLY GUMP SWALLOWED A FLY type situation.
After my divorce I dated a lot of girls...certainly didn't have sex with them...it was more for the attention...but I regret it and wish I didn't do that. It isn't fair to fix a heart by breaking others.

Ive never heard of this, but it sounds like words from a sage wise man.
IMO, sex and love are two TOTALLY different and independent things. Having lots of sex sure does help, but it doesnt cure the emotions I assume.

Don't do it.
Even if the woman herself is OK with it, you're basically using another person for a selfish purpose. You may even achieve it, but that other person may then get hung up on you - and get hurt in the process.
Grieve and mourn your loss, and take your time - and find somebody new, but when you are ready. Putting a band-aid on a bleeding heart won't solve the problem.
I'm sure it'll make you feel better, but those feelings could end up just being temporary since you're just using sex to distract yourself from what's hurting you.
I think it can help to get over someone, for any number of possible reasons. However, from an ethical perspective, you'd want to find someone who is also looking for NSA sex, or is fully aware that you're not looking for more.
