Generally speaking, women need time to emotionally experience and come to terms with the pain associated with a relationship ending. Alternatively, most men don't like to experience painful emotions, such as sadness or grief, to the point of actively avoiding these feelings.
These men can't see the point of wallowing in self-pity or repeatedly going over in their heads what happened. Alternatively, they may self-medicate in the form of a string of meaningless flings or try to quickly move on from the past by covering it up with a history of new sexual experiences.
Situation, guy breaks up with his girlfriend, then goes on a screwing spree with as many women as he can before after a few weeks often more, finding someone else more long term.
Seems very common. One is "on the rebound", but what are other phrases that describe it?
I've never experienced that from a "break up", but I did when my late wife died. I was running from the pain and desperately seeking something or someone to fill the emptiness I felt. Some partners were simply nooky and they knew it; all the others I truly hoped would be more. But I don't have a term for it.
The psychological term is "acting out" painful feelings but most people would pretty much recognize it as rebound sex.
