How long is your longest dry-spell?

I've been single for nearly 2 years now. This valentines day will mark my 2nd anniversary of d-bomb and although there's been a few guys interested in me, I've had absolutely no real interest, no spark, no butterflies with anyone. I'm starting to think I'm defective.

It depends on the timeframe of my life..

20's - 2.5 years.. I was working a bunch of hours and women wwere not on my high list
30's- 1 year maybe a little over
beginning 40's- 8 months or so...and middle 40's in the last year or 2 so I have maintained about 2 months as the dry spell..

My longest was about 5 years. That went from later part of high school all the way through college.

My focus was pursuing my education and my career. Didn't have time for distractions. No offense.

Heh, I'm going on 3 months (approx... not even sure) and I think I'm gonna die. Sucks to have the hormones of a perverted teenage dude.

HAH! I have a theory that there is no such thing as a sexual peak for men at age 18. I think it's much later in life. Once again, Art supports my theory that older men are fine and do-able.

Anyways, my longest dry spell was 6 weeks.

There's nothing defective about you. Although you do make people want to grab you, and submit you to rigorous quality testing. I bet they particularly want to search around for secret buttons, and stuff.

I've been called that before. I had no idea what they meant, but you got me thinking. It's probably true that I've broken up my share of marriages.

Same here, 3 months, and I think I'm gonna die too! I can't imagine going like a year, I could easily find a meaningless one night stand by then...but I'd like to think the next guy will be somebody I'm dating...
but yea, dying here. I actually get scared that I'll never have sex again cuz I can't find a guy that wants to commit. And I"m 30 yrs old for gosh sake, how come all my friends could find a man to marry them and I can't!....that's a whole other forum I guess!

honey this will be my 10th lonely valentines day in a row, as was XMAS and New year's. Hows that for feeling defective, well more like pathetic and desperate.

By "dry spell" do you mean just sex or actual relationship?

I've never considered lack of sex to be a dry spell, because that implies it's involuntary. I've never had a dry spell if we're talking just sex. I could get that practically any time I wanted (Not trying to brag, just stating a fact. Most females can say the same.).

If we're talking actual relationship, then it's somewhere between 2-3 years now (I don't really keep track), but for part of that time, I didn't really want a relationship either.

yah, d-bomb is the day the word "divorce" is uttered, but in my case, my ex left the very next day marking my separation date.

In my case, both? I'm mainly concerned with how long people have been single, not in any type of relationship. I've only gone on one first date in 2 years. I've had a few guys interested in getting to know me more, but I just havent felt anything towards anyone.
