Who on DU has tried abstinence?

[trof]

Somebody hadda do it, right?
;-)

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. Yes, but now I'm back to getting laid while guzzling vodka and slamming Snickers.

[arbusto_baboso]

2. Why Snickers? That part, I don't get....

[trof]

4. Snickers is probably the BEST part of sex.

Everybody knows that.
:wtf:

[arbusto_baboso]

7. I go for straight chocolate.

None of that fancy nougat, peanut crap. What are you, French? ;-)

[trof]

9. It's the peanuts.

I'm a peanut freak.

[rcrush]

3. I've had it forced on me by life.

Life is such a cold bitch.

[Orsino]

5. I have indulged in abstinence.

Nay, I have reveled in it, and have sated my desire for abstinence.

[KamaAina]

6. More like it's tried me

for verging on two suffering decades. :cry:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

8. What's abstinence?

And, while we're at it, does this thing look infected?

[trof]

10. Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.

It's true.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. Oh.

So it's "fonder"?

I thought it was an infection.

Thank you...................

[Roon]

12. I have been celibate for a couple of years now

it's so nice not to be a slave to your penis. I don't even masturbate. I read the M4M ads on craigslist and I sense nothing but pity. I had a tougher time quitting smoking than I did giving up sex.

[JitterbugPerfume]

13. by choice -no

by circumstances --oh yeah

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Not because I wanted to.

:(

[stray cat]

15. for how long? Surely you occassionally abstain?

[lizerdbits]

16. Why yes

Not really missed when your sex drive goes to nothing. I've heard it comes back between 35 and 40. :shrug:

[mcctatas]

17. I tried it for quite awhile....

only it was called marriage ;)

[Deja Q]

18. Not always by choice, but I made it so. I'll let you know when I can trust to that level again.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. You mean voluntarily?

No dice.

[Minimus]

20. Yes - and it is not nearly as good as absinthe.

[Dr Fate]

21. I tried it for years...

...before I turned 14.

[mysuzuki2]

22. I was abstinent for 18 years once

the first 13 were easy-the last 5 were a bitch.

[Dr Fate]

23. +1

LOL!

[NNadir]

24. I tried it. It was way over rated.

[BuelahWitch]

25. Not only tried it, I think I've got a Ph.D in it!

x(

[pokerfan]

26. I have never been married

...so no.

[BarenakedLady]

27. *sigh*

or to quote LFP, *sgih*

:cry:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

28. All my life

But not by choice:cry:

[bluedigger]

29. I wouldn't say "tried" exactly.

More like "endured".

It's not like it was a personal goal, or something!:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

30. How does masturbation figure into this?

:shrug:
