kitkat826 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Without sex? Without intimacy? Without a romantic interest in your life?
expos Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I'm a male...haven't had sex in a full year. Kissed one girl in that 12 month period. Had one blind date that was set up by a co-worker. 8 months without so much as hug from another female (not including Mom). It's very strange but I'm dealing with it. I've found that I'm as productive as a 60rpm machine recently and I like that.
westernxer Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Pretty long, if necessary. I'm a slow mover between relationships. Sometimes I'm too laid back (currently, this seems to be the case).
johan Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I went for 2 years without a relationship once, no sex or romance either. The longer I go without being in a relationship, the more crap I have to work out when the next one comes around. Mostly because my mind has that much longer to warp reality as I try to "deal" with things.
Tangerina Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 not old enough to really know, I suppose.... longest I have gone since I was 16 was one month between relationships... (3 years and 2 months with first guy, approaching 4 months with current boyfriend)... if I hadn't met such a wonderful guy so soon after my breakup I would have been prepared to go much longer, but that is just how my life has worked out so far (I'm 20).... I guess I dated a guy when I was 14 and then it was 2 years until I met someone else, but that is so young that that barely counts, and no sex was involved.... just the whole adolescent thrill of mutual likage and discovering kissing.....
Author kitkat826 Posted October 24, 2005 Author Posted October 24, 2005 Can you go longer with out one than another? (Sex vs. general physical intimacy vs. romantic interest). I find that as long as I have one of the above, I can go about a month without the others. I think all of them are parts of the general human need for intimacy with others. Currently, I am only actively pursuing the first (sex) on a casual basis. And as much as I am able to separate the emotion from it, I admit that I still depend on it for general intimacy as well. The closeness, the chemistry, the moment of connection between to people. For those in casual sex relationships, is it really JUST sex, even if there is no emotion/relationship involved? (The only time I went without all of the above was during my ex's year long deployment in Iraq. I guess what got me through that was the fourth, non-mentioned dimension, "true love". )
BigB Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I went 7 years with any sex or relationships. That ended last week, well I got laid still waiting on her to decide if she wants a relationship with me or not.
GivenUp0083 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 currently going on a year of no sex or relationship. I kissed a chick a few times last summer, not really made out though. I guess I just keep busy with school, basketball, and videogames. I've quit shaving, I don't go out to bars on weekends anymore. I guess now that I think about it I gave up on it all.
