Could you go without sex for the rest of your life? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Harshaw · 10-19-2003, 07:10 PM

Before I was sexually active, I never thought of sex as something that I needed to have. Lord knows, I wanted to have it, but having it wasn't part of my life. Now I think it might be.

It feels like it is as important to me as food or water. Obviously, I can go longer without sex, but it still feels like something important to my survival. While I understand the biological imperative for sex, people do go without it for their whole lives. I'm wondering if anyone here would be able to. Or when you are in a "dry spell" do you worry about where you are going to get your fix?

Church · 10-19-2003, 07:30 PM

For me, I definitely couldn't, but I think its one of things like (insert your favourite food here). Once you have a taste of it, something clicks in your head and you go nuts without it.

i8one2 · 10-19-2003, 07:37 PM

I could go without sex no problem, it the sensuality and the bonds of giving ones heart, mind and soul I can't do without.

bermuDa · 10-19-2003, 08:01 PM

I could probably go without sex indefinitely... but if I'm not gonna get any for the rest of my life then just kill me now X_X

JStrider · 10-19-2003, 08:24 PM

i would need a Damn good reason... not too... damn good...

numist · 10-19-2003, 08:31 PM

what i8one2 said...

sex is secondary to bonding ones soul to another.

sillygirl · 10-19-2003, 08:46 PM

Umm, I could go without sex. I enjoy it, but it's not the most important thing in life.

tikki · 10-19-2003, 10:11 PM

I could, and probably will. Seems to be my luck nowadays.

Like said before, its the bonds and relationships that are far more important to me.

World's King · 10-19-2003, 10:16 PM

There is no way in hell.

I'd be more likely to stop drinking.

FallenAvatar · 10-19-2003, 10:31 PM

Sex could possibly be something one could live without, but intimacy I couldn't do. Feelings given to your body and mind by that of your spouse is something that should never be taken lightly.

davik · 10-19-2003, 11:15 PM

Not a chance in hell I could go without that kind of intimacy. As far as going without sex, I think I would go insane somewhere along the line; I just have too much of a sex drive and have developed too much of a taste for it.

bermuDa · 10-20-2003, 01:09 AM

let me rephrase. The possibility of having sex is one of the few things that keeps me going

wry1 · 10-20-2003, 02:07 AM

OH GOD!!! I HOPE NOT!!!!!

Don't even kid me about something like that! I fully realize that as time goes by, I'll probably get fewer opportunities to have sex - married or not when it finally happens. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to like it!

Loup · 10-20-2003, 04:24 AM

Simply put: No.

Cardinal Syn · 10-20-2003, 06:37 AM

Hmm, i have made it 26 years of my life without it. Maybe last another 26 years? Who knows!!! :>

Dano069 · 10-20-2003, 06:40 AM

Um, no way, no how, nope. Must have daily doses of MS (Monkey Sex) or else I'll die! (ladies, where have you heard that one before?

) Besides, it's good for my prostrate.

jvwgtr · 10-20-2003, 07:51 AM

No way...
I can't really think of ANYTHING I enjoy that I'd be able to give up willingly for the rest of my life, but sex...definitely not.
It would be like spending the rest of your life in solitary. I think I'd go completely crazy.

skysooner · 10-20-2003, 07:59 AM

I have gone without for over a year. I became sexually active in high school and then went to college and could just not meet anyone. It was 14 months, and I frankly didn't miss it much till I met someone and had sex again. However that being said, now that I am a little older I realize that it isn't sex per se that I miss. If I have a physical urge and can't relive it with intercourse, I masturbate. What I would miss about sex is the intimacy and the intensity of the connection with someone else. Take that person or the ability to meet a person that you could connect with, and I wouldn't be as interested. This wasn't the case when I was still driven by my hormones in my 20s but sure is in my 30s.

vveronica · 10-20-2003, 08:46 AM

I could go the rest of my life without sex.... i'd end up killing myself

mml · 10-20-2003, 11:44 AM

I COULD go with out sex for the rest of my life, but I WOULD NOT be happy about it. When my wife was pregnant, she had some complications and was admitted to the hospital until our son was born. That started a VERY long period of NO SEX. The reality was that it got easier as time went on and the added stress in my life kept my libido in check but it was not something I was thrilled about. So I hope it is never a question I truely have to face.

Lunchbox7 · 10-20-2003, 01:11 PM

What have you been smoking? There is no way i could do that. It scares me just thinking about it.

Viking1064 · 10-20-2003, 01:34 PM

I also agree that there isno way in hell I could go without sex!!! When I wanted to break up with a girl, I would wait until I met someone else first. That way I knew I was getting some and didn't have to go without sex. I think about sex 23 out of the 24 hours of the day!!!!!!!

ariekitten · 10-20-2003, 01:38 PM

i don't think i could go without sex forever....i have too much fun

but i do think that i shouldn't make sex my main priority, and it wouldn't be the end of the world if i didn't get it regularly.

Baldrick · 10-20-2003, 02:08 PM

Could I? Of course, we all *could*.

Would I? No chance in hell!!!!

strcrssd · 10-20-2003, 02:13 PM

I agree with Baldrick...

Physically, it would be no problem....

Mentally, the emotional bonding that goes on is something I think we all crave...

padam · 10-20-2003, 02:15 PM

no way could i live without sex

Elegant Holmes · 10-20-2003, 03:08 PM

If thrust upon me I say yes, but I would rather nought.

Elegant Holmes · 10-20-2003, 03:09 PM

Might I add, I have never had "bad sex" in my life. A few of my partners may have.

*Nikki* · 10-20-2003, 03:11 PM

I agree with those that said something about the physical bond of sex.

I have to have it.

matt_mll · 10-20-2003, 03:31 PM

If sex was just sex then I proly could go without, but i don't think I could go without the emotional connection with someone. If for some reason the love of my life was incapable of having sex, it would suck, but not be the end of the world. I would proly just masterbate alot more to make up for it.

gduventree · 10-20-2003, 05:01 PM

Good God, no. I don't think I could possibly be around my wife and not have sex with her SOME time. Maybe when we get older and my body starts to give out, but so long as I'm healthy and able I'll keep hitting it.

Rubyee · 10-20-2003, 06:27 PM

No. I'd rather have bad sex for the rest of my life than no sex.

kittenpie · 10-20-2003, 06:34 PM

Nope.

Stiltzkin · 10-20-2003, 07:37 PM

Bah. What is this "sex" thing? Never heard of it.

All seriousness aside, I don't think I'd ever need sex. Never had it, never will need it. Umm... there is too much to be said about this, and life is just that much simpler if I stop talking now

HeAtHeN · 10-20-2003, 07:38 PM

Yeah I think I could. Masterbation is the saviour of the human race

langer88 · 10-20-2003, 07:41 PM

there is no way i could go without physical intimacy in all its forms. touch is so very important to a relationship and the emotions said feelings bring.

almostaugust · 10-20-2003, 07:48 PM

I would struggle.

im just a girl · 10-20-2003, 07:59 PM

if i was still a virgin i could... but once you do it you can't stop
