No sex for a year.

[Uncreation]

So sex it up while you're wanted.

What if you're not wanted?

It'd be nice to be able to make female friends without that little nagging feeling in the back of my head that says "You know, with a little extra effort you could totally tap that. You're already halfway there!"

Also, without it I could stop caring about old flames. I usually get over any sort of emotional attachment, but I find myself still dwelling on it because I miss the physical aspect. Physical attraction is a powerful force.

If you're a guy, get a big house. Women generally rate wealth above physical attractiveness.

If you're a girl, I'm sure you can find a guy who fetishes whatever traits you have. You'd be impressed with what goes through some mens' heads.

My life would be basically the same, but I'd have nothing to look forward to the 3-ish times a week I normally look forward to.

 

[BioHazardMan]

I'm totally with you. I always thought about how great it would be to have no sex drive. Think of all the things you'd have time to do. No awkward moments either and you could focus on what you want out of like instead of getting layed.

Well seeing as a guy and I'v been without sex for oh i don't know.... 3ish years >_> I can say once you get used to it your golden. But do i wish i could have me some lovin? Your gawd damn right!

 

[shadyh8er]

Giving up sex is easy! I've done it five times!

(Thank you Mark Twain).

OT: I use masturbation as a means to go to sleep quicker. Will this mean that I'll have sleepless nights?

 

[Leadfinger]

Get married. Then you won't think about sex anymore, except as a chore.

 

[Kitteh]

my not-my-idea abstinence from sexual contact with anyone who's name isnt "lady lefty of the left hand barony" since 2007 makes me want to find someone and punch her in the boobs so that i can say i technically put my hand on a boob.

Sex is the drive for everything we do.

There is no scientific proof what so ever that confirms your statement. Quite simply, you have nothing substantial to back up that mythical claim of yours...

A big house? Lol. Yeah right. I'm from fuckin' Romania. Houses here cost about what they cost in other countries (at least in the city were i live), but the salaries are about six-eight-ten times smaller (at least). I can't even get a one room flat, in the next few years. )) A big house. Lol.

PS: Uh, yeah, i'm a guy. (I wouldn't be completely unwanted if i was a girl.)

I donate Apheresis every two weeks at the local blood bank. As part of the screening process they ask you if you've had sex with (blank) during the past year. Aside from the fact that I know myself that I haven't had sex in almost three years...I have to tell a random nurse this...every two weeks.

(heavy sigh)

I wouldn't feel bad about it, I'm the same at the blood bank. Every time they go through the list of questions, I just want to say "No, I'm a nerd and a church kid, so no. Nothing's happened. Ever."

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one...meaning the sex part and the fact that you donate. I'll also add that I work at the blood bank I mentioned. Thank you for donating!

I'd probably be a lot more stressed for one thing. It's a great relaxant.

In order of effectiveness:
Sex
Tea
Guitar
Games

Proper answer: there's the whole bonding part, that makes the relationship feel more...
Hmm, can't quite put a word on it. Everyone knows what I mean though.

Sex is a healthy fuel for a relationship, and my relationship is the best part of my life right now. It's not that relationships are driven by a need for sex, it's that sex is just a great way of relieving stress, and even working through issues.

To be honest, if any man or woman didn't think about sex, our world would be far more productive.

Hours that we spend having sex, thinking about sex, purchasing sexual things would instead go towards (hopefully) the betterment of man.

To be honest, if any man or woman didn't think about sex, our world would be far more productive.

And pretty de-populated by human beings...

Well, this thread quickly degenerated into virgins complaining and people extolling the supposed virtues of their forced asexuality. Oh Escapist, why am I not surprised?

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

What would it be like to go an entire year without sex? Well that's basically every year of my life right there, and I'm quite content to keep it that way forever. That does depend on what you mean exactly by sex of course - asking even a deliberately celibate loner like myself to go a full year without... how shall we phrase this... self gratification, well that would indeed be torturous; I'm not celibate because I don't have sexual impulses after all, that's a pretty basic facet of our biology - I simply don't act upon those impulses through a course of action that would eventually lead to sexual congress.

Who needs sex really (and all the resulting social trappings and rituals people go through to get it) when they have functional hands? Certainly not me!

 

[emeraldrafael]

Considering I havent really had sex yet in my life, and the closest thing I had to it (rounding a base or two) was over a year ago, I someone dont see my life being any different.

The killer is if you cant masturbate for a year. That would affect me a little more, butI know friends who that would destroy. like, the first day they wouldnt be able to follow it. probably the first hour.
