If you are separated from your partner, divorced, or widowed, at some point your thoughts may naturally turn to sex.  In fact, it isn’t unusual for me to get a call from someone who is new on the dating scene after being in a long relationship.  My colleague Yvonne Fullbright has written a blog entry, “Navigating Newly Single Sex,” that gives great tips on how to be sexual, both with a new partner and with yourself.

One comment I have to add is that sometimes people are most worried about their sex life when, quite honestly, there are bigger issues to address.  For example, if a newly single person has children, their needs must come first, because they have developed fewer ways of coping with separation and loss.  Or, if a person is separating or divorcing, there may be legal and financial battles yet to be fought.  Conserve your energy for the business of separating; be patient, because a better time to entertain a relationship will come along soon enough
