Almost a week for me, but I’ve had a really bad cold and nothing says no loving like a runny nose. Usually we mate at least twice a day and sometimes more, depends on if we can sneak away from the kids long enough. ---

Five years now. At first by choice, and then abstinence by habit. ---

Mama–sex can actually help you get rid of a cold. One night my ex and I were in her bedroom. It was the beginning of winter and we were both feeling lousy–I had a headache and she had a fever or something. We starting boinking. Felt great afterwards–and moreover, neither of us had the symptoms of a cold the next morning. It was about the best thing she ever did for me. ---

It’s because we don’t _have_ sex lives. Part of the job: you may flirt with virtual women, as long as you abstain IRL. ---
