I think (in all honesty) these folks are in that phase where as I said, they are not in their right minds. I would recommend therapy and self-nurturing and care rather than what amounts to lobbing "sexual napalm" all over everyone who crosses their path. (One of John Meyer's best quotes).

And I agree, that when you see this degree of recklessness, there is literally no way in hell that anyone who engages with folks in this mad rebound period could expect anything other than to be brutally used, whether gay or straight, man or woman.

Remember, however, the OP is female and speaking of a man. My response was tailored specifically to her

It's why I really feel that we need to heal the conflict within ourselves in order to affect real, meaningful change in the way we relate to one another, and that means letting go of any negativity we may feel towards others, however justified it may appear to be.

Agreed, and well said!
