How long have you gone without sex with the opposite sex (or same sex if you so desire?) Any celebates in here? Just curious. I went about 6 months one time in between marriages…it sucked. 🙂 * * * Yours truly, aha ---

Hmmm. Here I was feeling sorry and lonely because my hubby is so far away, and this is the second time, so I know it’s only going to get worse, and I read some of these posts. ☹ I don’t feel so bad, now. _sigh_ not much, anyway. It’s been 2 months this time, 1 year and 6 days the last time. Before I lost my virginity, 19 years, 6 months and I forget how many days. * * * Don’t make me come down there. God ---
