How long till you say "I'm out!"?

(Referring of course to Kramer on the *Seinfeld *episode “The Contest.”)

My partner travels a lot on business. In fact he just left this morning for an 18-day trip. When he’s in town we have sex every single day, sometimes more than once. I have found that when he’s away I still need it just as much, and have to “take matters into my own hand” before even 24 hours are up.

So I’m wondering: For those of you who have sex on a regular basis, do you still need it just as regularly when you’re on your own, for whatever reason?

Hang on a sec…

I’m out.

For a while, yeah, but the longer I’m on my own the less I need it. The interest is still there it just isn’t as… urgent, I guess.

My wife is in Indonesia for the next three weeks, and I’ve been turning my crank more often than the amount of sex we usually have. Weird, I think about my wife and jerk off more frequently than if she was home. If that makes sense.

Yes. I take care of myself regularly anyway because I have a much higher sex drive than my partner.

I think the answer is “No”, but what do you define as a “regular basis”?

I believe I’ve gone a year.
do i win?

I can’t even go a day, even when I have someone to play with.

Only if there’s something major to occupy my time - if I have any free time, it’s gonna happen. Hell, even when I’m gettin’ some, I usually take things in hand regularly. Unless you’ve got a live-in, always-up-for-it partner, there are going to be times of drought.
