I'm curious. Been about six months and I'm good. The longest for me was about a year and a half.....I know some people go way longer...some can't handle a few months.

What about you ? How do you handle life with no sex ?

3 years. I had a crazy ex and i wanted to work on myself so didn't date at all. I had chances to do it but I was so happy being single that i didn't wanna ruin my happiness by getting close to a man.

I've had spells of about two or three years without, and sometimes only six months or so... Both in and outside of relationship.
When I'm single it's take it or leave it. When paired up I handle it okay, but withholding sex from meh usually makes me very sad and or resentful fairly quickly...

Give it to yourself....when not in a relationship I can go months or years without it until I find that one worthy of it, when in a relationship we try to do it every day or every other day. !!!

I actually feel this way....I can go without it.

But when I have someone I want when we decide to take that step....I want it all the time

I like hearing how some of us can go quite a while and some not so much as women.

But yeah....withholding sex to me is like a shot to the heart. Probably would try to fix whatever the issue was or move around.

Big part of the relationship to me. Huge

2 years and several close calls. The first year was just out of sheer happiness and joy that I was finally single and away from the draining drama that had been my 4 year relationship. The second year was because I couldn't figure out if I wanted to be celibate and wait for marriage or explore my sexuality. I figured I shouldn't bring anyone else in my shit until I sorted myself so that's what I did.

Long periods in between having sex for females seems common though, most of my female friends are sexless unless they are in a relationship or heavily dating someone.

Ha...This is why my year and a half break lasted. Got out of a 6 year relationship and didn't really feel the need to jump back in the pool quickly at all.

Needed some time to figure myself out as well.

I think about a year? After I had my daughter and wasn't seeing anyone or interested in anyone just focused on her and work I don't remember caring about it . Its when I'm in a relationship or having sex often is when I need it.
I just got out of a relationship 3 months ago and we had A LOT of sex. The first month without it I was dyinggggg. Like desperate I'd tell myself the first guy that comes on to me I'm jumping on him but I held back and I'm glad because I could care less about sex right now ... Except for the other day when a coworker of mine came up behind me a little too close Ughh I'm not even attracted to him it's like my animal senses lmaoo.

years.

Do you miss it sometimes ? Are you just done with it ?

I do, yes. But I've always been hesitant having casual sex as I would prefer to wait for the right guy. I also have other ways to pleasure myself 😉 [sorry that was not meant to sound creepy, lol]

2 1/2 years. Most of that time was because I was recovering from a trauma. I wasn't ready to have a new relationship. My libido still functioned, I just didn't want a partner.

Three years then i sucked a guys dick twenty minutes into our first date. He stuck around for a while so it was all good. Lol but even after that we did the 90day thing so it was really building up for me

Did the three years paid off?

It did. I got more familiar with myself and what i enjoy and so when the moment came it was fireworks everywhere. And on a non sexual note, the wait and anticipation made it way more romantic

25+ years.

I have other more important things in life to preoccupy my precious time.
Dwelling on or having sex is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list of
importance.

If I am in a relationship, twice in a day then better. I always managed to get it once in a week.. I was with a leo girl. We were not staying together under single roof.

If you mean without intercourse, i can go a long time without. But I can't go without sex. Hey, you have hands don't you?? I use mine. That's what they're for, during dry spells of not having someone I really commune with.
