Howdy,
As the title suggests, I haven’t had sex in quite a while around 4–5 years. I’m feeling pretty rusty and want to start exploring again and becoming more comfortable with my body. tried looking for fwb but hasn’t gone well
cheers
Hellooooo…
Just keep.looking… dating sites ?
've given dating sites a go already, but no luck so far
Supose you just have to be patient
thats all I can do to be honset
Try joining some evening classes eg learn a new language, cookery classes, furniture making anything really just to get you meeting people and making new friends. This could then lead to more.
Dating sites can be tricky, so maybe find a group activity you enjoy, wheather it is yoga, or book club, sports or anything that brings you into contact with people you will have something in common with. You’ll find shared activities will open some doors to other things, like intimate relationships. Good luck, and have fun.
@_Kilroy Welcome to the club of long time no sex, I will be rusty if I decide to date again, but it will be fun and I wouldn’t let have no sex for years to put me off, because it’s all fun.
I would say ditch online dating and go out in the real world to mingle, that way you know what you are getting into and who you are talking to.
@Wood-Nymph made a great suggestion. I met a few Women at cooking classes.
Welcome to the forum…
Have you any hobbies you can use to get out and meet with like minded people or try the complete opposite and take a class/join a group for a new hobby/skill and meet people that way. Although we’re currently on an online forum, the internet tends to contain a lot of weird people, best to get out into the world to meet people.
I’m kind of “old fashioned” and have always preferred meeting someone offline because you never know who is behind a profile online or even dating apps. Fake is everywhere now a days.
And welcome to the forum @_Kilroy 
I Will it give it a go!
I 100% agree. I’ve had a lot of strange and outlandish interactions with women on dating sites. A lot of people recceommned me so far to try , clubs, or joining a course/workshop. It might be worth getting out more and trying different social activities to meet more people
thank you
yes I do and I’m in a club
Hey welcome to the forum dude. Have you tried browsing on some casual dating apps as yet?
yeap, but not much luck
Ahh keep testing the waters with it as might get lucky. Alternatively, Facebook actually has groups where you can connect and chat with people
tried that as well and discord
Ah can be quite tricky spaces to navigate and get results from
Do you eat ? Over the years I have met many women while grocery shopping . A safe space if you will . I talk people up all the time . everywhere . I often make small talk about products and how to prepare them . It is not as cheap as trying to meet women at a bar , but you have to eat . Good luck and welcome to the forums .
