I had a fling :)

And it feels ok, not too weird, I was just taken by surprise that it even happened since I have been so shut down and not having sex for two years. I liked it, some awkardness after, but so nice to be thinking about someone else rather than my ex. Sp anyway, I guess my mojo is kind of back. Unfortunately I can't one night stand and am more a relationship person and I don't think this is possible. But she was awfully pretty, and fun
So I surprised myself maybe we can all get surprised?

Yay for you!
I'm kinda seeing someone, myself... . ;p
The awkwardness is unsettling, but I think very, very normal... .It's what happens between two authentic people when they are exploring intimacy without really knowing each other... .
Very different from the "soulmate" connection I had right off the bat with exBPD... .
I'm glad you had a nice surprise, Sea

This coping mechanism might be better received on the L6 board.
