How long have you gone without sex?
After puberty and including what you do by yourself.

I went through a religious phase and did absolutely NOTHING for about six years.

I'm also wondering if women go a lot longer than men.

2. Only for your information and discussion, maybe about six months.
During pregnancy with my second child, while my marriage was going on the rocks.

I made up for it later... um, if you know what I mean.

18. From month 3 of pregnancy to month 9, there was no ....
co-habitation. I think my ex-husband was fooling around with at least two other women that I know of.

Then we split and finally divorced. During the following year and a half, I received a good deal more sexual attention than I could have imagined in my fondest dreams.

But that was about thirty-six years ago, and it's just a dim memory.

Does that answer your question?

5. Maybe six years...maybe a bit more
Lost count.

And it might depend on how you define 'sex.'

It's like riding a bike, I hope, but with a more comfortable seat.

45. You? Sex God that you are?
No effin' way do I believe that you've gone six years. No way.

My record is three years, and that was during a time when I was utterly disgusted with myself. Six years? No way.

52. Way, dude
I'm possibly a too-well-behaved sex god. :-)

It is not a source of great happiness, to say the least. But it does, however, prove that I have patience and self-control, and they'll be handy when I start up again. :D

53. have you ever felt like you want it a lot more or a lot less than others?
Sometimes I think I have sex on the brain 24/7 like some kind of obsession, then I talk to other guys and they're WORSE.

I guess I'm mainly interested in how long women go without, alone as well as with someone else.

It read (in part): After puberty and including what you do by yourself.

That sounds like spanking the monkey/petting the kitty if you ask me.

33. Yeah, I've heard that about your type
As a matter of fact, I just heard it last night on a repeat episode of Law and Order SVU. It noted how women don't typically use porn when getting off, they fantasize. (The implication being that men generally use porn).


Now stop crying and enjoy the pic I sent you. :hug:

20. well, from puberty to intercourse about 5 years.
After that my most substantial string of pure self-love lasted for three years. I was also a vegan during that time. The two things might be related, I'm not sure.

65. I don't think I did things to my self frequently in early pubery
If you define puberty for women by menstration, that was when I was 11. Although I did experiment with my body, I did not have much of a sex drive until I was 15 1/2 at which point I was probably going no more than a week.
As far as with a partner, about 1 1/2 years once I became sexually active. Once I met my husband, 3 weeks when were apart during one of the college breaks.
