Breakup Question

My gf of two years broke up with me about 6 weeks ago. Been pretty bummed out about it but my sex drive has never been higher. In the past I haven’t been able to think about sex after a breakup. Anyone else ever have this?

You want her back? This is your bodies way of becoming alpha and taking out competitors as you have competition from other dudes now.

I would take her back in a heartbeat. I hadn’t considered the competition thing but you’re right I’ve been alpha af when out and about since the breakup.

That depends on the level of chemicals in your brain at the time of the break up. If dopamine is high but serotonin and oxytocin are low that can make you go after sex and other pleasure seeking activities.

If you want to sleep around that's fine but be very careful. Use protection and do not get involved with anyone while you're recovering. Because it's really easy to get sucked into an abusive relationship right now.

Definitely been careful and relationship with anyone else hasn’t been on my mind but the only times I’ve felt good since it happened is when having sex. I’ve never experienced a period like this before, in or out of a relationship.

Mods should this not be in the relationship forum?

I'm not so sure about this. The thread isn't about the relationship, it's about the effect on his libido after the breakup. Let's see where it goes.

Appreciate the responses. It’s the weekend and my mind already is thinking about the sex I’m going to have later today. I hate to say it’s a strange feeling but in a way it is.

You've been with the same girl for a couple years, so yeah, it's going to feel a little strange. Especially if you're not over the breakup. It's tough. But... go have some fun. Get back to doing things for yourself. Sometimes after the end of some relationships, you realize the things you've been missing out on. It can be quite liberating.
