Do INFLATABLE AMERICANS count as masturbation? If so, does it have to be an inflatable human?

For me… well, I’ll just say Bush was still president. But ego requires I mention he was in his second term.

It’s been a long strange time without…mid-90’s, somewhere. I’ve actually lost track.

Why is it that women hate us so?

I’m a 26 year old virgin male, not by choice. Also, not an IT professional, but close enough. I think within 100 years humanity is going to go extinct once there’s no one left to fix the computers that are needed to run anything and everything. Women, why must you destroy humanity? Why do you all hate the human race? 😉

So the last time you had sex was October 10, 2007?  
Cuz the last time I had sex was Dec 12, 2007. And the time BEFORE that was January 6, 2007, and the time before that was August 31, 2006.  
So that makes three times total in just over three years, the last time being 1 year and 10 months ago.

You people are depressing the hell out of me.

And of course, driving me crazy with curiosity. Do your parts still work?

Maybe that should be a category separation… what’s the longest for people whose bodies still function and feel sexually? Cuz I can’t believe that all you folks who’ve gone such incredibly long times have done so while still being able, willing, and eager.

My sympathies. ☹

Holy crap..I was just about to tell **Quartz** he won the virgin one…but do you have him beat? If not, you definitely have the longest “non-virgin” win…
