Alanis Morissette recovered from her split with former fiance Ryan Reynolds last year by going on “lots of dates” and having “lots of sex”.
The Canadian singer, 34, was devastated when her engagement to the actor ended in February 2007, and it took her months to recover.
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.”

The faces of Vatican cardinals were left as red as their cassocks after realising Canadian star Alanis Morissette had understood every word they’d said about her after she met The Pope.
The Ironic singer met the pontiff in Rome, Italy in 2000 and the magical experience was ruined by French clergymen, who bickered about the star’s rudeness.
Morissette reveals the problems occurred as she left the stage after meeting The Pope – and did not know whether to walk in front of cardinals or not.
She explains, “I’m post-Catholic; I don’t know how it works anymore, so there was this awkward moment and I walked in front of them. They were all French and they were speaking about me behind me, saying how rude and horrible I was. I speak French, so I bit my tongue the whole way out and they were just ripping me apart, and then right at the tail end… I just turned back and spoke to them in French and said, ‘Thank you so much for your kindness.’”
