How long can you go without having sex? (dating, wife, married)

[Lulu101]

I was on the other thread and I just can't believe it! Get a divorce because someone won't give sex more than twice a month? That shows that you never truly loved that person in the first place.

I can do a year without it standing on my head. What is the big deal?

I agree with you. I can go a lot longer than a year.

I think a lot of these people just don't have any self-control these days. I blame TV and the internet.

Are you serious? TV and internet helps to distract me from the neurotics and sex addicts in real life.

With proper medicines (anti hormonal) and Yoga-type exercises, almost indefinitely!

There is no way I can do a year. NO WAY!!!! I thought I was going to die when my wife was pregnant (I did not want sex while she was pregnant for safety fears).

The wife and I recently went almost two weeks which is the longest in our relationship and we both just about died from going so long. Normally, we are at about 5 times per week.

That's the thing...when you're in a marriage, it's not about you anymore. There has to be compromise in all aspects, including sex. I'm not saying that a person has to give it up whenever the other spouse wants it, but there needs to be empathy and a desire to please coming from both sides. When a spouse wants to be intimate and the other constantly rejects him or her, that can have a bad effect on a marriage. jmo.

I think sex is a very important part of a relationship..how would you feel if your spouse went a year without speaking to you? or a year without looking at you? touching your arm back face anything? If these people didn't want intimacy then they would of moved in a roommate. I would no way be with someone that didn't want to make love to me. I 100% think that would be a dealbreaker. I don't think they are saying they don't love who they are with by saying they want sex. It's a natural part of being married or being human period. I'd rather have a horn dog over a cold fish..

Now, think about how much extra you could get accomplish in life if you wittled that down to 5 times a year? More time for productive activities.

You mean with another person?

Heck I went 5 years...easy. After my divorce I had no time for dating...spent my time with my son. There are other ways to satisfy those basic needs, if you have no SO. That said, in a relationship, I'd certainly not be happy with having sex just twice a month. That would be a problem.
