How can I just shut my brain down when it comes to loneliness, dating and sex and focus on resolving a financial problem I have?

Anonymous

I’m in situation where I really need to focus on work and getting my act together and make more money. I had a financial calamity happen about 9 months ago and I have to focus on work to pull myself out the hole.

I am in very good physical shape for my age, got all my hair and I own a house. I have a good paying job and side business ventures but I have a lot of debt to pay off.

I am not behind on bills and actually have good credit. But I am nowhere near the kind of financial freedom I had a year ago where I could travel anywhere, go to any event (e. g. a concert), go for any recreational trip (e. g. skiing), go out to a nice dinner, etc and not think twice about it. I have to be very budget conscious.

So I have to put first things first. But yet I find that my mind is constantly thinking of sex more as wanting an escape vs. pleasure in itself. But I am not the baby faced cute 24 year old guy I was years ago. It’s not like I get on dating apps and get tons of matches. I have even still have 6 pack abs but it feels weird showing them off at my age. I know my age is a negative factor unfortunately.

I just don’t have the time, money or patience to jump through hoops trying to get a decent relationship or even something casual. Yet I can’t stop thinking about sex. How can I turn it off?
