I think it was December 23rd. or 24th. If that sounds like a long time for a happily married person, you don’t want to know how long it was before that. It’s the kid. Ruined our sex life, though we wouldn’t trade him for the world (and don’t worry, this doesn’t happen to everyone, my other mom friends assure me). ---

Two years … two months … and eight days. And since I’m single and moving to a new city in two weeks, which I’ll then move out of four months later… only to move to another city and leave that one in three months, things don’t look good. Silly me, liking to have sex in relationships. But that won’t stop me from doing other fun stuff, which I’ve seen my fair share of in the above mentioned span of time. 😃 ---

One of the senior celibacy club members checking in with 5.5 years. Unwillingly. And virgins DON’T count, not for this anyway. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lizard \* > \*\*To avoid any confusion here, for straight people “sex” is defined as “intercourse involving penile insertion in either the anus or vagina”. Gay dopers can define it any way they wish, since penile insertion is not always an option. But the genitalia must be bared at some point. > > It’s been about three months for me. \*\* And why doesn’t oral sex count? The way I see it, if someone touches your eroginous zones for the purpose of getting you off, it’s sex. Some sex is more fun that other sex, obviously. BTW: By **Lizard’s** definition, 14 hours. Married life is good, indeed! My SO is pissed at me, and I’m still getting some. ---

I was totally happy - going along and believing that it really hadn’t been _that_ long in the grand scheme of things, and I wasn’t an abnormal freak. But no, I had to read this thread. Thanks a lot, Lizard. ---
