Struggles When Things Get Serious
We all have different needs when it comes to relationships. Some of us prefer casual hookups, while others prefer monogamy. But sometimes, it can be challenging to find someone who shares the same mindset as us. In this week's Sex Column, we hear from a reader who is going through a rough breakup and is now seeking casual, no-strings-attached sex. However, he is facing a frustrating dilemma – the women he is hooking up with want more than just a good time.
Let's dive into his story. He was in a relationship with his girlfriend from 15 to 25, but they should have broken up five years before they actually did. Being together since a young age, they had drifted into a sibling-like dynamic, and neither of them knew how to end it. Eventually, his girlfriend met someone else at work, and that gave her the push to leave him. At first, he was devastated, but as time passed, he realized that it was just his ego that was hurt, and the rest of him was okay.
After the breakup, he spent the last year trying to make up for lost time by having sex with any woman who showed the slightest bit of interest. His friends make fun of him, but he's happy because this is the life he should have been living a long time ago. He could easily have a steady girlfriend if he wanted to, but he prefers this lifestyle. However, despite living in 2024, he has noticed that not all women are up for casual sex like men. Many of them seem to want to "fix" him and can't accept that he only wants a good time in bed.

Back to our reader's dilemma. He has met clingy and annoying girls who knew from the start that he wasn't looking for anything serious. All he wants at this moment in his life is a sex buddy, but he can't seem to find one.
Here's some advice for him. First of all, it seems like his problem is not that he can't find a sex buddy, but rather, he can't find someone who wants the same thing as him. If that's the case, there are plenty of attractive women out there who would be happy to have a one-night stand with him – he might just have to be willing to pay for it. However, if he's expecting women to jump into bed with him whenever he's feeling horny, he might be disappointed. Many women are looking for something more than just casual sex.
Additionally, his approach of having sex with any woman who shows interest doesn't make him seem very appealing. While he may be trying to make up for lost time, he also needs to consider the feelings of the people he sleeps with. If he realizes that they want something more than just a hookup, he shouldn't use and discard them – he should keep looking. It's essential to be honest and upfront about what he wants and to respect the boundaries of others.
Furthermore, it's possible that he actually does want a loving relationship, but the fear of being hurt again after his breakup is holding him back. It's not easy to brush off being dumped after being together for 10 years. Perhaps what he needs is not just a sex buddy, but also a therapist who can help him work through his emotions. If he truly only wants casual sex, he can find it in various forms, though it may not always be free.
In conclusion, relationships can be complicated, and it's crucial to understand and respect what each person wants. Our reader should be honest about his intentions and not use others for his own satisfaction. Whether he wants a sex buddy or a loving relationship, there are options out there, and he should never settle for less than what he truly desires.
