Personally, I think waiting caps out on excitement after a few weeks. After that you just get so used to going without it, to me, it becomes easier to go without it.
I rather have satisfying sex with myself than be used as a glorified masturbatory device for some cretin.
i will echo this.
i have had two 5 year periods without sexual intimacy involving other people (as a sexually active adult). didn't care in the long run, rather that than lousy/forced sex! i know how to please myself.
So I've set myself a challenge to go without sex for at least 3 months. It's already been 1 month. 3 months is my record...I reckon I can do it.
Just thought I'd share, I know nobody actually cares haha :tongue:
Oh, to be young again and think that a few months without sex is a big deal. Talk to me when you can count it in years!![]()

What's the point of this response? I've already graduated from a 4 year university course and don't need, nor would I ever want to, ever study engineering :smile:Try studying engineering.
Boo hoo. 21 year old virgin here. Don't come here crying that you cant handle a few weeks.
Went five years without sex before separating with my wife. Goin' on six now. 'Tis a gift not to be squandered on the unworthy. Christ, that sounded incredibly vain. So be it.
@rtg - Sweetie, you should absolutely only be talking months at this point in your life. I applaud you for doing your best to make it count! Good for you!
Still, make sure you're enjoying yourself. Have fun when you can. There's plenty of time for celibacy, so if you don't make it to 3 months, who cares? It's not like you get a prize or anything. :biggrin: Do what you need to do for yourself!
Thanks LaFemmeI just feel like I need to do it at the moment cos I know how shit it makes me feel for being treated as a sexual object and not being appreciated or appropriately respected by men. So, I'm just going to wait until I find someone who I can share something meaningful with. But if I get too horny and that takes too long to find...then you're right, who cares if I don't last. Thanks :smile:
I truly don't know how people can live in a sexless marriage. The longest I've been without sex since becoming sexually active was 27 months due to religious beliefs. Never again. I have to have some sort of sexual touch with another person a couple times a week (atleast) to be functioning at optimum potential.
exactly!I rather have satisfying sex with myself than be used as a glorified masturbatory device for some cretin.
A question. How important *is* sex to the average person? And yes, I'm asking sincerely.
I've been reading this thread, incredulously, and trying to imagine what it must be like for those who indulge/refrain. I truly do not understand the appeal...but, then, I admit to having no sex drive. In my imagination, it's messy and unhygienic. Your posts seem to imply that it's almost irresistible.
Viewed through my prism, it almost seems like addictive behavior.
To the OP, I'm actually rather proud of you for deciding to break the cycle of that addiction. Good job!
