Prior to about an hour ago, I (M21) had 3 bodies, and they were all in loving relationships.
I’ve been single for 1.5 years, much of that was spent getting over my ex, and recently decided I don’t want anything serious but felt like I had a physical need that needed to be met.
So I went crazy on the dating apps, putting together a “roster” as the kids say, and tonight met up with a girl from tinder who was down to hook up.
I get there, she lets me in, we do the deed. I don’t know if catfished is the right word, but I was attracted to her pics and was not very attracted to her in person. She barely said a word to me the entire time.
I got in the car and had a very long and uncomfortable 30 minute drive home.
I realized that sex being an expression of love is a huge value to me, and having meaningless casual sex was an absolute betrayal of my identity.
I am disgusted with myself and feel grimy and ruined. I don’t think a shower would make me feel clean right now. I think I now realize I was grappling with the fact that I’m incredibly attention starved, and I crave love despite being unavailable to it right now.
I’m sitting outside looking at the stars full of regret, wishing it never happened. How the fuck do I move on from this?

Suck it up and drive on.
Honestly just use it as a learning experience, you affirmed to yourself that that level of intimacy obviously is only enjoyable in a relationship/love situation so personally I’d just consider this a lesson learned and probably avoid those situations in future
You are overthinking it. I know I’m kinda invalidating your feeling here but it’s very unlikely you will be worried a lot about this in the future. Your best bet is to let it go
Time young man time, you have come to the realization now just understand what you felt and don’t repeat the mistake
You do have desires, they are just more than a hookup can provide for you, include it for future knowledge, but don’t let it weigh on you too much
Congrats bro, youre a playa now!
This is normal, until you do it 10 more times and then you think opppsitely
You’ll be fine. Maybe touch your own penis next time…urge goes away real fast with empty nuts
