Dating : (25m) Suddenly feel an intense desire for affection and intimacy after 6-7 years of apathy towards dating
Hello everyone,
So for the longest time I practically stopped caring about relationships and love, affection, etc. I had a very short-lived relationship during college with a wonderful girl but it dissolved because she moved across the country and we sort of just lost contact. But oh well, that was when I was 19.
Since then, I haven’t felt the desire at all for a relationship, affection, etc….. up until about a month ago. I don’t know, it’s like all of a sudden I woke up one day and the lightbulb clicked and now I’m constantly horny, crave affection and attention, intimacy, etc. Shit, I feel lonely… masturbation rarely helps nowadays and it’s quite frankly eating me alive. I’m not trying to repress these feelings but can anyone relate to this? It’s like all of my urges were dormant for years and now they’re back full throttle..
In fact, I think masturbating is making me even hornier. Ugh, this totally sucks. I don’t know why I even posted this, I guess to see if anyone is experiencing the same?
Hello, me.
I feel the same and I’m 25 coincidentally
I think it’s also because I’m ready for a relationship now that I’m more established on many other parts of my life? I’m not sure tbh
Weird, I got the same feeling lately. I think the summer season, end of quarantine and hitting biological milestones kinda have created a perfect storm of horny lately, for everyone tbh
Hmm. It might be a lot of things so take this with a grain of salt. It might be psychological; there could be a lot of stuff going on below the surface but that wouldn’t be my guess. I believe it’s probably a biological cause; you’re older and established. It’s around this time that most people are looking for a partner to create a family with, your biological urge to do that might be kicking in. Idk if you want kids or not though. It’s very strange to me that you just woke up one day with this intense desire but it’s not uncommon.
Basically me but about to be 22.
Same I don’t take dating seriously anymore
I relate to this too, but I’m struggling finding anyone who’s serious about dating at my age. Hopefully it works out for you though as more people are settling down
I definitely gets bouts of feeling like this and i’ve known others who do too, so you’re not alone. it’s normal to realize that your needs and priorities are shifting, especially as other aspects of your life are in flux as well. i wish you luck staying open to new possibilities in this new phase
It will end in tears
Join the club, man. 24m, same boat. Though I’ve been focusing on improving myself to help distract from it.
Same (26 f). Growing up was more focused on being an unofficial carer for my parents, the craving for company and intimacy suddenly hit me this past year but I’m very introverted and hate the idea of getting started.
