Bristowe, who broke off her engagement to Jason Tartick in July, said those feelings subsided when she felt the “urge” to “make out” with men again: “I was really proud of myself for saying, ‘OK, i ‘it’s not a desert down there’”
Kaitlyn Bristowe once changed her mind about going out with men towards the end of her previous relationship.
In her episode on Tuesday Off the Vine podcast, Bachelor The alum, 38, opened up about her sex life and how she once believed she was asexual or a womanizer because she lost her sex drive “at the end” of a past relationship.
“It’s gone,” she said of her sex drive. “I thought I was asexual. I literally thought I was asexual.”
“I was like, I think at this point I can see myself more with a woman — I actually thought that — than a man,” she continued. “I see. I think women are hot. I could do that.”

After going on a few more dates, Bristowe recalled feeling the “urge” again to explore sex with men.
“I was like, ‘Ooh, I’d kind of like to hook up,'” she explained. “I was really proud of myself because I said, ‘OK, I’m not the desert down there.'”
Bristowe was last linked with Jason Tartick.
After breaking off the engagement with her Bachelor frontman Shawn Booth, she met Tartick — who was competing for Becca Kufrin’s heart on her Bachelor season — when he appeared on it Off the Vine podcast in 2018. They started dating in 2019 and got engaged in 2021.

Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick relationship timeline
Tartick and Bristowe split in July 2023, but did not announce the news until the following month. In a joint statement on Instagram, the now exes called the breakup “a life-changing decision” that caused “a lot of emotions and changes” to go through.
The following month, Bristowe reflected on the breakup on her podcast, saying, “I’ve never respected someone more through a breakup than I do with Jason. I think people assume something bad happened if people break up. And I think that’s the hardest part this whole breakup—nothing bad happened. It was just time. We both didn’t make each other a priority.”
“It’s sad. We’re both so sad. You know, you think you’re going to spend your life with someone…we mourn the loss,” she added.

In January, Tartick appeared on Savannah Chrisley’s Unlocked podcast. During their conversation, Chrisley knows best alum, 26, told Tartick that she doesn’t believe he and Bristowe were meant to last after Bristowe’s last performance on her show.
“She came on my podcast in March and I just knew when she was talking about your relationship, I was like, ‘This isn’t going anywhere. This is going to end,'” Chrisley said, to which Tartick added, “I heard that there were many conversations that I didn’t know about before the break, and which were similar to that.”
“It gradually fell apart. I was in a bit of denial,” he said, noting that he initially wanted to “save” the relationship before she broke up with him. “I think I’ve been living in the cloud for a bit. I should have seen it [our issues] and I should have gotten into it earlier.”
