southernesky,
i have had that experience. where you suddenly want to have sex and you connect it to a painful emotion and you realize the sex is about releasing the painful emotion.
i dont know a lot about what to do about it other than be kind to yourself. i dont think it is really that unusual. perhaps, for some people, if not a sexual impulse, it would be food, drugs, booze, gambling, etc.
you seem to be on the right track by looking at it and not acting it out recklessly.
