Is it okay if my coping mechanism is sex? Only sex tends to calm me down when I’m faced with life challenges.

  1. I’ve found sex to be a great way for me to process emotions like anger, jealousy, shame, etc. I noticed it recently after I’ve been going through some self work and growth. I’ve definitely noticed with masturbation and sex, being honest with myself and others about what my turn ons are and some fetishes that I’ve kept secret for years, or even denied and felt shame from myself for having them, has helped my feel a lot better and when thinking back to past sexual and relationship trauma it feels I’ve healed a lot of old wounds.

  2. I think this is a quite common practice and there are plenty of people who do that. Not everyone, but it definitely falls into a category of normalcy. It works differently for different people. I have meaningless sex with a handful of people. Sometimes, sex is just sex. Sex is a good coping mechanism if only for an ego boost and the feeling of coming. Afterwards, you will probably still feel like shit.
