I think we’re meant to count from after virginity. Though having said that, there’ll probably be a virgin or two along to dispute it.
Anyhoo, my longest dry spell was around 4 and half years. I’d given up on the whole idea of ever having sex again, and when I met a woman who actually wanted to shag me, I was totally clueless and had to have it spelled out for me.
I can’t say for sure, since the last time with my former husband wasn’t something I exactly marked on a calendar. But just roughly guessing, it was probably three years between that, and when I zeroed in on the current hub.
For me it was almost two years. I had a lot going on in my life and didn’t really have the time or energy to seek out such desires.
What’s weired is I really didn’t miss it all that much. After my two year drought I’m laying in bed with my girl. The subject came up: “When’s the last time you got laid?” I was already to answer “Oh a couple of months or so” but once I got to thinking about it I was like: “Shit! It’s been nearly two years!” (Yikes)
I never had a strong sex drive, at least when compared to most guys that I have ever known.
Depression lowered it still and then the anti-depressants all but killed it off. Even though I quit the meds my sex drive has not return. I don’t really miss it (well, once in a blue moon) and will never have sex again.
I liked sex, but I have never understood why it is so important to some people.
18 months was the longest since losing my virginity. In the interim, there were four guys who took me out on several dates and made it very clear that they wanted to have sex with me. In three of those cases, the dating actually ended precisely because they felt they had waited long enough to have sex with me, but I was still refusing to do it. The fourth guy I left because I realized I didn’t ever want to have sex with him.
I just don’t take sex as lightly as most people, that’s all.
Don’t be silly. You ask someone you already know. I’d say my longest dry spell was the better half of a year. Can’t recall the exact amount of months, but it was too long. Disastrous, sexless relationship ended, which did not send me on the fucking spree I’d anticipated. My sex drive was shot and left for dead, and then one day --BLAMO!-- back with a fervor that would not quit.
Since I started having sex? 3-4 months. Consider though that I’m in my mid-20s and I’ve been in a relationship for coming up on 7 years. If I was ever single again, I could potentially go quite a while - I’ve only met a small handful of people in my life I would want to have sex with.
Around 4+ years after I broke up with previous girlfriend. I just needed to take a break from dating and reset, get back to being comfortable with myself. It was well worth it and I didn’t miss sex as much as I thought that I would. There’s always the internet
Then when I decided it was time to start dating again I met a wonderful woman online and now we’re engaged.
Nearly 3 years between when todd33rpm and I broke up and I got back with my first-ever love of my life. But get this…
that first-ever love of my life? I was with him 20some years before we got back together, and he was celibate the whole time.
He love me. and he is in some kinda heaven NOW, for certain.
Lets say its been X years. Then you have sex a time or two with someone (and I’d suspect in general that if you only have sex a few times its not going to be that good). Then its another Y years and a time or two. Then another Z years and another time or two. And so on.
From an enjoyment/doing without point of view thats probably worse than somebody that had a dry spell a bit longer than X,Y, or Z but was humping like rabid monkeys when they were getting it.
