This may be an odd subject, but how do you deal with pent up sexual energy. I'm not trying to be lewd or anything, it's a valid question I think. From having an active sex life, to nothing, it is frustrating and I'm not sure how to deal with it.

Are there methods to like channel that energy into something else productive? It's frustrating. Is there like a certain period of time where it just sorta becomes a non-issue and you adjust?

I've tried distracting myself with other things and it works until a point, and I just reach a point of like "damn it, this sucks! I hate being single even more now!" Knowing that I'm not going to have any sort of sexual life for a long time is kind of depressing and something I wasn't prepared for. Even a couple girls I did know that were friends with benefits when I was single are now off the market.

I hate this. I hate what she did and I hate that I have to deal with all these damn issues now that I shouldn't have to deal with.

[I didn't want to post this here but searching via google didn't really turn up anything (it's a difficult thing to search for and get valid info). I did try searching here first also, I'm not sure where to turn at the moment and feel kind of odd asking my therapist (so hey, why not a bunch of people on the internet I don't know going thru the same thing).]

Uhhg. Every day I feel like I'm reaching a new low. I don't remember being single being this horrible. :\

I'm sorry if this is offensive, I really didn't know where else to turn and I can't find anything on it myself. Posting it here was like my last resort, so I'm sorry in advance.
