23 yrs.
In February it’ll be two years. Let’s not let that happen! It sucks, I mean… it’s hard, I mean… it’s been very difficult for me.
About 8 months – I didn’t feel like it the last few months of my pregnancy, and then for a few months after the baby was born we were both waaaaay too tired to even think about it.
6 years. Following my divorce I wanted involvement with a woman like I wanted leprosy.
Not long enough. I stll gets the cravins’.
13 months (which is my current dry spell) is the longest. Before this one, the longest was…maybe five months?
Completely outclassed by a significant number of posters here, I see, but I think the longest stretch for me could be measured in mere months. Certainly not up to a whole year. I don’t think I’d go completely crazy going any longer, but I’d probably start buying softer cheeses. Heheh.
43 years.
Never mind, then.
6 weeks when I was with one man who liked oral a whole lot more than the traditional variety. I finally complained.
Outside of a relationship probably about 3 weeks or so. Being female, once I start “hunting” it’s generally not too hard to find a willing partner.
Um, like 6 months-ish, on a couple/few occasions. They were all related to a long-distance relationship. I’m so done with those.
The internet is for porn, the internet is for porn.
Grab your dick and double-click for porn, porn, porn!
Wow. This thread is kind of scary. Years? Really? 10…years? 20…years? Years? I honestly can’t imagine it. Is it because you have a low (or no) sex drive?
I was a late bloomer and didn’t start having sex until 21, but it’s been pretty regular since then, on average, say, 6 times per month, and much more frequently at the beginning of relationships. The longest I think I’ve gone cold turkey is a few weeks, and I’m not sure it was even that long.
I’m not a sex maniac, or at least I didn’t believe I was before reading this thread, but if I don’t have intimate, physical contact with another person for more than 5 days I become noticeably irritable, so it’s difficult for me to wrap my mind around some of the numbers expressed here.
No, quite the opposite, in fact. But I’m capable of not giving into every hormonal urge, especially if there’s a good reason NOT to. Sometimes other things have to take a priority over sex, no matter how badly you physically crave it.
In most cases, I’m gussing it’s lack of opportunity. At least, that’s my main reason.
I broke up with my last girlfriend in 2001.
Damned straight. Gotta mix it up!
Three months… Apparently once I started grad school I took a vow of chastity (unknown to me)… I went from at least once a week to… once every 3 months? Sigh
But what hurts for me the most is the lack of cuddling. I went from falling asleep touching someone else to… nothing.
Cuddling? Oh that I get every night. I mean sex I can get from any prostitute, but cuddling is a different story. But I’ve been in a relationship for a long time.
Maybe it’s being in NYC, but I actually find it hard NOT to have sex (ergo cheat on my GF). Other places…not so much a problem.
But seriously, if I suddenly found myself single and went without sex for more than a few months, I’d pretty much devote my life to researching anything having to do with picking up women.
11 years. Because the last time was with a woman whom I thought was my soulmate, but it just didn’t work out in the end. Haven’t really been looking for it since (and this is all tied up in just how much I loathe the dating scene, and some other things). I have…redirected the energies in other directions since then.
Lack of a willing partner, in my case (it’s been 8.5 years).
And unwilling partners are just no fun at all.
At present, three years into our marriage, it’s been about 5 months. That’s probably as long as the dry spells get, but for young people in love those are sucky statistics. We’re both very busy, I’ve been sick, and… it’s complicated. I wish it could be different, and we work to make it different whenever we can, but I figure in a relationship otherwise full of blessings and joy, something’s gotta give. I’ll take the love over the sex any day, vs. the other way around, and I know he agrees.
