That's funny. Actual heat sometimes gets me hot and bothered as well.
I too have times like this. But there isn't much I can do about it that I like doing. I don't like masturbation and/or ****, I don't think they are good for me and make me physically and mentally feel like crap, sometimes for days afterward. Even though I have spoken out strongly against them, I confess I have used them in moments of weakness. I don't like it though, and it makes me feel the way I imagine a junkie might feel, like getting high to escape one's problems instead of solving them and being happy because your life is good. It's not the person I want to be. I find I am less likely to turn to that when I stop and realize that I could do that if I want to, but that it will do nothing to solve the actual problem of not having a girlfriend so I'm really just wasting my time.
Plus, it does nothing for my desire for intimacy. I don't just want to get off, I want to do that WITH someone. The "someone" for me is the whole point. By myself, it really only amplifies the emptiness I feel in that area of life.
I find that the best distraction so far has been playing my guitar. Now that I'm actually able to play a few songs and change chords decently, it pulls me in sometimes. I feel like that is a good addiction. Going for a walk or bike ride helps too. Anything to take my mind off *** and anything that gives me energy instead of taking it away. The feelings go away eventually.
