For many guys, it's because they are seeing what fun they missed out on. For some it's one of the best ways to get over an ex instead of just sitting around doing nothing. Then there are some guys that feel that they don't want a relationship because they think they will get hurt, so they go from girl to girl. They get their needs met, and they don't have to worry about being hurt.
There are some guys that have more sex while not being in a relationship. As crazy as that sounds, for some guys it's true. It's better than just jumping into another relationship. Or worse, trying to get the ex back that doesn't want you anymore, chasing them, and waiting for them to come back. It's just moving on for some guys.

It's because he's not fully over the pain of the end of the relationship. He's nursing his feelings and is not ready for a serious relationship at the moment. He want's to get back out there, get laid, get his confidence back up and try and move on, but he's just not there yet. It takes time...
They’re trying to take away the pain but it doesn’t work because the work they need to do is more often on the inside. Hurting others never feels good, self perpetuating negative cycle.
To do all the things with a girl your ex was never into, stress relief, fill that hollow feeling or just the symbolic value to show you've moved on.
They’re not over the relationship and are trying to fill a void.

After reading the book "Love Sick: Love as a Mental Illness", it seems to me the driving force is to replace a brain hormone that crashes after losing a relationship where there was a significant amount of intimacy.
Replying to another answer, I've never felt the need to show that I've "moved on".i think everyone has pretty much nailed it on the head. Part of it is to forget the one that broke your heart, and even take that frustration and hurt and make someone else possibly feel it. It is a terrible road to take, but unfortunately it helps heal the immediate pain. It can never fix the long term issues inside. I am unfortunately headed to that devilish place, even though I would rather the last person I was with be the only person I am with forever.
no after my last relationship I realized that I didn't want to have meaningless sex anymore because when emotion is in the sex then its a lot better I can't even maintain an erection anymore for a women I don't have an emotional connection with
It could be the reasons given below.
It could also be that he's still too hurt to trust and want a relationship, but still wants sex.I have never done it. but it is usually a pretty effective albeit self-deprecating way of forgetting someone.
An ego boost..to fool himself that he's not hurting, he's feeling great and wanted by other girls, etc...
A guy feels miserable and empty after that.I have been single for almost 4 months now and I have just been moving from girl to girl. Sometimes id play two or three at a time and for some reason I feel better about myself. Better than sitting at home and crying over my ex. Someone here said that some guys have more sex while out of a relationship, thats true for me. Im still not over her but I am in better shape now than I was 4 months ago.
No. Girl does that. I fuck because i want to im attracted to the girl im fucking. Not to fill some void bullshit. I have no emotion to fill. I doit for ego not for lonliness. If im lonely i go to my family. I dont want to get attatch to any woman
I tried dating and having sex with numerous women after my break-up. I am not sure if it worked. I guess it took my mind off her a good bit but I felt guilty like I was cheating
