How Long Can You Function Without Sex

The ability to function without sex varies for each person and depends on individual libido and emotional needs. Some may experience no impact, while others might feel increased stress or frustration over time. Generally, most people can go without sex for extended periods without significant health effects, but it varies based on personal circumstances.

I think I could be content without sex, as long as I can still masturbate.

Forever I guess. I had sex with an ex over halloween, but before that it was like 4 years. And it was with the same person.

I'm the type that can fuck many times a day and absolutely love doing it, but only with someone I connect or have connected with. Truth is I hardly connect with anyone. For me to find a person that I can connect with, know they want to have sex, and know they are indeed a woman is rare. Things have to line up right for me to feel comfortable enough to show my real self, and even when it does its with some crazy bitch that I absolutely despise over time.

Same, but it doesn't keep me from being sexually frustrated. @Soul what is your Mars ?

I've gone 7 months without it and I'm dying. Being a very sexual person, it pisses me off. When I think about having it, it consumes all of me. Tingles everywhere. I need it.

I like twice or once a day

Same I am about to die, but I only want it from one person and that is just not going to happen. I should really move on.

When I'm in between young hot boyfriends I find I can go about 10-11 months. I always come out of the drought when I'm approaching the 1 yr mark. But I masturbate so it doesn't bother me. My sister hasn't had sex in over 10 yrs but I won't be making anymore dickless wonder threads ?

I've been abstinent for about a year now by choice. And I'm slowly dying inside LOL, can't help it, it's the Taurus in me. 2-4 times a day with someone I care and/or love would make me happy lmao

I'm a lady in the streets and you know what in the sheets, but only with someone that I'm seriously dating and I feel 110% safe and comfortable with him(or at least close to it lol). No judgement to anyone else that is different. It's either going to happen in that scenario or if its ever one of those "it feels right" moments with a guy

I'm fine, tbh. Yeah, I'm a highly sexual person, but it's like if there isn't someone around to get that going, it sort of goes dormant and I'm good.

But if there's someone around, dating, relationship, whatever, then it just stirs all that up and it's an entirely different story.

People who tend to whine about not getting laid or let the lack of it affect their moods have problems and need to get over it.

I've gone long periods of time no sex. I was functional but once I start having it again I do want it way more

When I was a virgin - all the time. If you don't have it, you can't miss it.

Now - one and a half day TOPS. A little longer if I'm crazy busy and stressed. When I begin to get cranky about tiny things, it's time to soothe the primal beast within. ? That physical and emotional and mental connection is simply unmatched. It is also, by far, my BEST de-stressor.

Why WOULD'NT I want to connect with him that way? I am not ashamed of needing that connection. I've paid my dues, lol.

In a relationship= Maybe a week. but when I lived with my ex..maybe 2 days or so.

Not in a relationship= months but yes I definitely gotta use my toys! quite often.

Why are you always asking about sex ohh Scorpio cusp. Not too lady-like. LOl

I have got more lady than you can handle. That is why I can talk about these things because grown people can talk about these things without thinking sex is taboo ?.

I've been going on long enough without it that I cannot even tell what effect it has on me. I'm sure it's unhealthy though. Sex and connection is meant to be a great thing.

This is driving me up a wall!

Why? Why able man would do this to themselves?

And as many times I've heard that I am wondering - who invented a description of men as dogs?

If guys can restrain themselves - why dogs then? And who are those who are chasing everything that moves?

It is usually insecure men who cheat or who "cannot" control themselves.
