I haven't had sex in over a year and it's starting to really get to me as for a woman I am so highly sexed with a MASSIVE drive. I'm not into sleeping around with just any old person, it has to be in a relationship where there is a solid foundation of trust and love, I dont do one night stands either. I was so in love with my ex, we broke up a year ago. He found someone better than me apparently even though she was a slag and had alredy slept with his mates. It broke me. We had such a connection, when we made love it was so perfect like the whole world stood still and we could freeze that moment of perfectness forever. I miss it now. I miss not having someone to touch and kiss and connect with, it completes me. I am such a loving person and passion is what I live for. I dont have that connection to anyone anymore though and I feel incomplete. I'm only 24, I've only been in 3 relationships and sex was always my way of showing my feelings and love. It's the first thing Sex was the first thing I learned about love as I was abused as a child by my dad until he left. I don't know why I feel like having a man would complete me, I just guess I feel bursting to love someone as I have so much to give and no-one to recieve it. Being in love is the most wonderful feeling and I'm scared I'll never live it again like I'll never be loved again. I want someone to share my life with and grow old with like in soppy movies, but life isn't like that and it makes me sad because I fall for men so easily and I'd be like the women in them soppy movies. I tend to get walked over to be honest, it's like men don't respect me enough to treat me right. I just want someone to love me and connect with me and be mine, entwine as one for the rest of our days. I love that thought, I just can't seem to get close to people anymore. I can't find anyone I fancy or even like the look of. It saddens me, I know it's prob best to not look and just wait for when it happens but I'm just so lonely and having a man in my life makes life ten times better, it's just ten times worse when they decide to walk away which they all have so far. I dont even know why I dont fancy anyone. I am 25 in March and everyone keeps saying to me 'oh thats a quarter of your life gone', i mean, my mum was having me at this age and was alredy married. My younger sister by 3 years is married. Loads of my friends etc are, people at school I knew l have kids. Why am I taking so long to blossom and make a family, be part of someone elses life and settle down. I don't want to be one of them old mothers who had kids at like 40. I wanted to be settled by now, I would have been, me and my ex planned a baby. I've gone from that to nothing. I'm not quite sure how to cope with it. It just feels like a sinking feeling of emptyness in my stomach. Please help.
