Too long. That’s all you need to know. Too long. ---

Aiya. That should teach me to not use preview. :rolleyes: That first quote above in my post should be attributed to **Davebear** and not **Lodrain** … the second quote attribution is correct as it stands. Sorry to both of you. _walks away muttering something about CHECKING the quote attributions next time in a multi-quote post… instead of gaily clicking the submit button…_ F\_X ---

Sex-like stuff: about 36 hours. Sex: about a week? or something like that… ---

3 weeks? A month? I can’t be too sure, as it was the most meaningless sex of my life and I’ll forget I had it if I don’t think about it for too long. But right now I’m well on the road to some of the most meaningFUL sex I may ever have. _crosses fingers_ Let’s hope it works out as I hope. ---

I don’t know what I’m missing. 😛 \*\* Close to the same for me, about one month less. Haven’t even kissed a girl in a romantic way since my high school graduation party almost two years ago. Oh well. My apathy keeps me from being saddened by that. ---

Damn…it sounds like some of y’all need to have a party TOGETHER We could have a “DopeOrgy” all the celibate members get together and get it on. A few or several days is long enough, but understandable…hell we all do that sometimes. Weeks is another thing…gotta be alone or sick or some explanation (wore out). Months…almost inconceivable, at least if you’re an adult that has been or is involved w/ someone. YEARS…screw that, it’s time to take a road trip…Vegas, New Orleans, maybe Fla. Spring Break’s always good & most any beach…bring along some Bud and a BIG bottle of Gold Cuervo, a few Trojans would probably be a good idea too. My last time…a couple of hours ago…again.😃 (fell asleep but woke back up hungry) That’s like the first and last thing I do everyday, Well most everyday, no body’s perfect (BTW, there’s no better way to wake up or fall asleep). Weekends could be at any time or place. ---

4 days. Which, according to Mr. Garrison, means I only have to wait one more. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rhino’sHoney \* > \*\*This thread has succeeded in just depressing me \*\* It seems I’m in the same situation as you, and it’s been four months now since I’ve seen mine (but mine’s a girl, not a hariy guy 😉 ). I always wondered why people did the long distance thing, and now that I’ve been doing it for 8 or 9 months or so, I wonder even more … 😕 Worst thing is it doesn’t seem to be bothering her very much at all, all this not-seeing-of-eachother we have going on. So that’s making this thread (and the other sex related threads lately) even more depressing for me. ---

If everything goes according to plan, in exactly 25 days, 6 hours, and and 24 minutes. Oh wait – that’s the FIRST time I’ll be having sex… 😉 ---

Just cos she’s coping with it better than you, doesn’t mean she cares less… my bf copes with it wayyyyyy better than me and I took a very long time to get comfortable with it. Its not a choice for everyone and not necessarily a choice I’d make again if the need arose… but hey, who knows who you’re gonna fall in love with huh? Hang in there… over time, coping gets easier. BTW the sex related threads kill me too - I must be a masochist cos I started this one lol !!! ---

But notice the utter, sheer and gut-wrenching apathy. I didn’t even have the emotional intensity or investment of interest in the anniversiary of my nativity to add an exclamation point after the ‘yay’. That’s gotta count for something. My birthday was so insignifigant to me that I didn’t even remember it _was_ my birthday until someone told me. Thus, I didn’t remember myself announcing it. ---
