how long can a man go without sex?
Posted: 3/19/2008 11:24:39 PM
I'm curious to know how long a man can go without sex. I've heard guys say they can't go a day without and I've heard guys say they can go years without. Does it just depend on the man? Does age factor in on this? I'm curious to see how men feel about this subject. And guys, I appreciate your honesty. Thanks!

As a woman, it can vary. There are some married women who could care less if they ever have sex. And then there are some women in their 30's, who are going through their sexual peak, who can't get enough.

I broke up with my ex in January of 07. And still no sex into 08. Does it bother me? Nope. When it is meant to happen it will. I have hung out with a few females and nothing so far. I look at it like this. Ghostface Killa from Wu-Tang Clan had this too say"No matter how cloudy it gets the sun is always time." I take that as when you drought is meant to end it will lol

Of course.

Yes.

Debatable.

I man can go his whole life without sex. He won't like it though. Perhaps even blow his head off. But it isn't a requirement like air. Almost, but not quite.

It's "couldn't care less" btw.

It depends what men need sex for. If he is insecure, and it's some sort of ego boost, some can't go very long at all before they feel doubts about their self worth. Other men use sex as a stress release, and lacking the skills to reduce stress in other ways, they need it more often too.

I haven't had it for about 3 months now and I miss the intimacy of being with a woman more than anything else. I think most men would feel the same.

It's a personal thing. But it's not required to live, so anyone could live without it.

That depends what you mean by sex I suppose, but as social creatures, it may be less-than-healthy to go without some kind of affection or intimacy. That's an important part of how we communicate, interact and evolve.

I mean, why don't we ask if we can be shut in a cave for a year or two. Probably, but at what cost? Sex, at least to me, doesn't have to be about going all the way.

Go down to your local penitentiary and ask one of the inmates. Nobody needs to have sex to survive...What kind of question is this...

There's all kinds of sex. If you mean can a person go without sex with someone else, most definitely. But it really isn't necessary with or without someone else. If you have a vivid imagination, you can create fantasies that actually make you get off; it takes practice, but many can do it. You can manipulate yourself physically by masturbation. You can use instruments or just flowing showerhead water with the massage dial on and aimed appropriately.

In addition, you can imagine a sexual fantasy just before retiring at night and often your dream state will catch on and your experiences will be unbelievable to the point of having wet dreams. You can actually orchestrate them.

Although opportunities for physical sex abound, even for an old man my age, often it is more prudent to find other modes of relief rather than get entangled with the challenges of others. I haven't been with anyone for two years yet I get all the sensual pleasure I want...

It really depends on the man. For me there has to be more than a physical connection. It's been around 5 years or so now, and about the same before that. I would think it's more what your personal view on sex is and whether you care or not if you leave a trail of daddyless mini me's trailing behind you. I'm sure there are different factors for different people.

3 months and I'm going crazy already. Considering castration. But if I was with a girl I sure could wait a lot more since I would feed on love and affection. There's these two facets of sex at play. Love/affection/psychological things and chemistry (getting rid of this potent substance!) all that driven by instincts and tempered with social restrictions and cultural stigmas. One is easier to get than the other one...

That's the one thing we we're born to do like it or not. EVERYTHING we do is to get sex one way or another. Just like everything women do is to find the perfect mate and find security for her and her children. And woman should understand that being this way is darn painful! It's not being a pig...it's being tortured by a terrible genetic afflication. We're victims! Our genetic thing is considered disgusting and women' is sweet, caring and generous. But it's just the same thing.

PS I'm serious.

I think the reasons of why or why not are far more important to this discussion.

I find the more often you have it, the more you want it and the less you have it, the more you want it.

Hm. I'm sure no man has ever died from not having sex...




... probably.

I believe The Sage hit the nail on the head when he points out that sex doesn't have to involve another. Sex "with another" can almost(that is, almost) be eliminated if you know your body and mind, if you are just trying for certain "goals" with the sex thingy. There is too many toys, information etc out there for the need to look for "someone" for just that sexual release.

Now, if you are asking about "making love",,,well, that is something that I miss dearly, but something that can't be replaced with rubber, latex, imagination, or whatever. I rarely go without "sex", but I am ready to jump off the deep end with the lack of "love making" in my life.

Good question.......for a man my age, since it's already been more than five years, I guess you could say for the rest of his life! (at least it looks like that's what it's gonna be for me)

I'm sure, men and women as well, get so used to not having any we just don't view it as a priority anymore.

Without sex? A long time, years even. On my head even.

Without releasing some 'below the equator pressure' I couldn't last longer then a week.

The swim team needs to come out of the pool regularly.

Of course it depends on the man.

I only make love to one that I DO love.
So if I have a long wait in between... that's no problem.

It's not the act that matters... it's the feeling behind it.
Making love for the right reasons... not just for pleasure.

When I'm with someone I love, then of course we can have sex for pleasure... but that first time... has to be something special.
Otherwise I feel it just cheapens the act.

Say, do you realize that if you have any potted plants around the house, you just need to take the plant out, add some warm water to the mud and voila ! you're now officially insane. But you're satisfied.

I just had a similar discussion with my SO - how long have you gone without sex? He said 3 months, I said a year and a half could have gone longer if I hadn't met him... but I agree with whoever said 'the more you have it, the more you want it!' Amen!

Wow.. I think I may vomit to your response.

Anyway, like everyone else is saying, it depends on the guy. As for me, I've gone without sex for 4 years. And at the moment it's been about 8 months since I've last had sex. I don't need to have sex to survive. And my "Swimmers" have been swimming laps for about 6 months now. So sex isn't everything.

Let me add this. I know most girls can't go 2 weeks without it.
