The more 34 year-old singer Alanis Morissette talks, the more I like her. She's incredibly quotable and she seems to be revealing genuine details about her life in a way that's honest and not just geared toward generating the most press. I could be fooled, though, since she has an album out that's not doing so well on the charts and is writing a memoir that will focus on problems that women face. Given the way she so openly talks about her life, I'm inclined to read that book when it comes out. Morissette recently revealed that she worked through her breakup with Ryan Reynolds by dating a lot and having sex but refusing to get in another serious relationship for a while. She doesn't specify if she had sex with a lot of different men, but that's what it sounds like.
She even banned herself from getting seriously involved with another man for 12 months after the break-up.
But Morissette admits she has enjoyed being back on the dating scene - because it meant she could have sex with different men without having to commit to any of them.
The star, who now has a boyfriend, says, "No strings relationships have helped cure me of love addiction.
"All my life I've been in long-term monogamous relationships. I had to break that pattern by not allowing myself to have a relationship for a year, stopping myself from committing to men. I haven't been celibate. I've had lots of dates and lots of sex, but I haven't been pushing to turn a date into a relationship. This has been a huge thing for me

Many of those self-help relationship books for women recommend that you date several men and not get involved for a while in order to make an informed decision about who is right for you. They also say that you should hold off having sex because that could end up emotionally tying you to a person who might make a crappy boyfriend. If you can keep your emotions out of it and both of you are single and know what you're getting into you may as well get laid, though. Personally I had a hard time doing that when I was single and picked more than one lousy boyfriend due to good sex. I wouldn't call it "love addiction" to seek out a relationship though, so much as human - particularly female - nature.
