Hi RPW - I've been a lurker for a couple months and respect the advice on this sub. I need some serious advice about dealing with my sex drive while single. I'm 28 years old. My last relationship ended last year in June and I have not had sex or gone beyond kissing a guy since and I'm borderline wanting to rip my hair out. I don't do hookups, friends w/benefits, one night stands, etc. I'm also looking for a serious long term relationship, but in the midst of studying for a stressful exam to get one more degree so I'm just dating until I meet someone boyfriend material.

How do you handle your sex drive while you're single? I've been avoiding hanging out with guys I find attractive that I'm not dating seriously. Any advice is very much appreciated.

TL;DR: Haven't had sex in almost a year, not sure how to handle my sex drive while single.
