So I am now trying to take a break from having casual sex with men. Been having lot of bad relationships experiences involving heartbreak, catfishing and other harms. I was in sauna as stress release but it just leads me to constantly facing rejection, or bad sex or just leaving me feeling Numb afterwards Has anyone else used random casual sex as a way of self harm because I'm realising i have been using casual sex more for stress release and feeling of emptiness than just having fun Even some days when I had grindr I was literally looking at phone for Hours for some attention.

Already I have good secure job, volunteering, community work and good friendships so I will be focusing on them but now taking a break from casual fun until I feel ready enough to either settle down with someone after healing heartache or enjoy fun
