A contest, of sorts. Looking for the person, in this thread, who has gone the longest without sex…and the person who has most recently had sex. Some rules: 1. Masturbation/Sex with self doesn’t count. 😛 2. The time limit applies to when you make your post in this thread, not when this thread was made. For example, if you had sex right after this topic was made, yet don’t reply to it for another ten minutes, anyone who replies with a post saying they just had sex five minutes ago would obviously beat you. 3. I realize there might be joking replies, which is obviously okay, but to make it fair as to what to accept or not, I will not be accepting any answers of “I’m having sex right now!” 😛 4. There will be two categories for “longest time without sex”. A. Those who have never had sex (the winner being whoever is oldest) and B. Those who have actually had sex and hold the record for longest time since. Right then, I’m not in the running for “Most Recent”…although I think I’m a good canidate, right from the start, for longest time without (Non-virgin category). 2 years. ---

I think it was about 10 or 11 hours ago. I don’t know how long the ‘longest without’ was. Maybe 3 or 4 years from the very first time until the next time. After that … probably the longest was 2 years. ---

I’m currently about 14 months into a dry spell, which is also about the longest I’ve gone since losing my virginity, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s another 14+ months in my future. ---

does any type of non-“self-love” count? I mean as long as it is consenting adults and at least one sex organ is stimulated? Not a BJ but CL? ---

7 years and I don’t miss it. Batteries don’t leave dirty clothes on the floor or mess up the kitchen. I live where I work (in a cemetery) and I have 7 hot groundskeepers who mow and take out the garbage - I don’t have to clean up after them, either. I love living in PamWorld, even if most of it is in my imagination (I have a lively fantasy life!) ---

The last time I had sex was about three hours ago. Longest without was about three months, I think. Longest three months of my life. I realize I don’t come close to the record, but recognize my suffering, dammit!!! 😉 ---

**GESancMan** beats me - and I expected to be the longest in this thread at this point. I’m at 14 years, 4 months. (though I have reality-based hopes that this may just be changing soon) ---
