No sex for a year.

[Cyberjester]

I think that if a guy had no sex drive he just wouldn't have any reason to have anything to do with girls.

With my friends, when they communicate with the opposite sex it's almost always sexual jokes and slight flirting and that sorta thing.
Take that away and both sexes would just be...dead to each other.

That's the seems to be the general behaviour nowadays.

My friends and I are able to converse without being crude, but it applies intelligence. Something the masses lack. Or at least don't make use of. Even insecurity.. Lots of theories around.

I haven't really spent any money at all trying to get lucky. Not that I haven't wanted to, I just never got to the "going on a date" part. I can't say anything would really be that different, though I guess the things I search for on the internet would change...
That being said, sex and love are pretty closely tied, I mean you only fall in love because you see the person as a suitable partner for mating. And Love is one of the most greatest feelings out there. Simultaniuosly the happiest and saddest feeling out there. And I don't want to give up on females, so I think my life would be pretty much the same, only even more boring. (And I didn't think that was possible...)

I haven't had sex for about 3 years now. I just don't bother. I'm not one of those pretentious virgin nerds who stalk these forums claiming they're asexual; I was in a very sexually active relationship before these 3 years and I definitely still get excited when I see an attractive woman. This is the second lengthy sexual break I've had (before said relationship there was also a 2 year break).

I honestly just can't be bothered with the whole romance thing. I've got plenty of other things to do, I'm not frustrated, I'm not unhappy and I am by no means lonely. Tried casual sex a few times but it just isn't really my cup of tea. It simply does not add anything meaningful to my life at this time.

And that's fine, really. Sure, I'll admit, the first month or so I was horny as hell, masturbating like there was no tomorrow. But that urge just fades over time. It doesn't go away, it just goes into 'sleep mode'. And it really isn't as dramatic as people would like you to believe. You just don't have sex, what's the deal? I think being unable to function without constant sex is a lot less healthy than not having it for extended periods of time.

If there is in fact a procedure which allows this to be performed without damaging any other part of my brain, I'll be champing at the bit to get it done.

You'll have to get a number and stand behind me in the line for such a procedure though.

Being able to simply kill off such distracting thoughts and never have to worry again that they'll come up would be pretty awesome.

I mean, suppressing the urge to want sexual stimulation is one thing. Suppressing the THOUGHTS that pop up from time to time when you see a fine woman however is a completely different thing.

Getting that compulsion sliced out of my brain would be pretty neat, indeed.

Without a sex drive, i suppose life would seem dull and grey.

Does your sexdrive push you towards playing videogames? Probably not.

Is playing videogames soemthing you consider "dull and grey"? Well, I don't know you, but since you're on the escapist I think it's safe to assume that you've got somewhat of an interest in playing videogames. But if im mistaken then: shame on me.

However, if you DO think it's fun, then why would you conclude that your entire life would be dull and grey without a sex drive? Does your life revolve around sex or does it contain other things completely unrelated to it that you still enjoy?

If videogames alone are enough to keep your life from becoming dull and grey I'd say you have serious problems.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. Couldn't have said it better myself.

The same thing can be said about sex. If sex alone is enough to keep a persons life from becoming dull and grey then that's a person who definetly has serious problems.

You're missing the point, I just took videogames as an example. If a person engages in a variety of activities that aren't related to that persons sexdrive it stands to reason that it's unlikely that that persons life would suddenly become dull and grey just because the sex drive went away.

You have no idea how relieved I am that you are looking at this like a three-dimensional idea. Thanks for adding your input.

Snip

I know it sounds weird but providing I got something decent in return (like supreme wealth or power) I would permanently turn off my sex drive altogether. I hate people that much. Yes... in retrospect I need to get laid... badly.

 

[endnuen]

No sex drive = No will to live.
Seriously, I would be miserable without it.

That I side I don't go party with the intent of getting down with a girl, I do it because of the fun that it ensures. The girls is just added fun 'n games.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Already there.
It's pretty cool.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I'm a virgin, and a 28-year old one at that (Not by choice, mind you.) So a year without sex would be difficult for me at all.

Life without a sexdrive however, would suck. I'd miss the enjoyment I get looking at pretty girls (Aswell as other benefits). Plus, sex is so deeply rooted in our consitution, that not having it would seriously feel like a part of me is missing.

And being a cartoonist, I'm very pasionate.

 

[FightThePower]

My life would be a lot better without any sex drive. It wouldn't complicate my relationship with my best friend, I wouldn't feel bad that I'm not getting any and I wouldn't make stupid purchases just to impress the opposite sex. Barely used that aftershave.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Stop trying to impress the girls and do something because you want to do it. I can tell when a guy is doing something just to impress me and it puts me off to be honest.
You'll run into Mrs Right when you least expect it, that's what I always did.

My last relationship, we didn't have sex for a year and it was pissing me off. You'd think he'd make a damn effort. It made me think he didn't love me and was repulsed by me -which he clearly was-. In my relationship now, which is much better than the last, if we don't have sex in a week, I'll get really upset and think he's going off me, then I'll start thinking all sorts of horrible stuff.
It's stupid because we still cuddle and kiss and he tells me he loves me all the time, but I feel like there's something missing if we don't have much sex, although it doesn't mean he doesn't love me. We're just a bit busy with work and college.

 

[Darkwhite]

After my (now ex) moved away 6 months ago mine seems to have gone away, no urges, no nothing, I've gotta say, gives me lots more time to think lol, and my thinking has lead me to one conclusion, I miss my sex drive ; p

 

[SimuLord]

My life wouldn't be substantially different. I've put off relationships until I finish school, don't see a good reason to start an intimate relationship while planning on moving in the next few years.

I'm in the same boat as you. Haven't had sex since August, haven't even been on a date since November. It's just kind of occurred to me that anything I build here is going to go by the wayside when I move home to Boston (or worse, I'll knock some girl up and be stuck here in Reno), so why bother leading some poor girl on?

I've even told my married friends back home to be on the lookout for cute single girls in their mid- to late 20s...the running joke goes that when my plane lands at Logan Airport there will be a dozen women waiting at the gate saying "Are you Fox? Because my friend (Ellen/Louise/Laurie/about five other married women I know) said I should meet you."

 

[the-kitchen-slayer]

Me? It would be a RELIEF!!!

God, what I would give to be rid of that incessant plague known as the sex-drive. It would make my life so much better in my opinion.

Why? No more drama, no more looking at people I'd prefer to just be friends with and wishing I could get in their pants, less desire to find a relationship, and generally a "lonelier" life where I could TRULY focus on me and my needs instead of worrying half the time about relationships and the BS that comes with them.

But then again, I'm rather screwed up in the head if you can't tell. So for me it would be a blessing

I know, and if you'd read my previous post in this thread you'd know I agree on that. I just thought your example was a bit... typical. That's all.
