Sex -- Can you do without it?

I do agree I think for MOST it is a need.  I'm kinda known as the "sex activist" at my job.  There are a few that go without for a while and turn into BIT&^%$

I'm always trying to remind them of there needs

Once again, yes, but why would you want to? I mean really! 

Nope gotta have it, people that have sex are healthier. If there is a three way involved you get double the benefits .

I would agree panhandlegirl, with the exception that there should be the expectation of sex from anyone at any time.  Just because your married does not mean a husband or wife owns the other persons body.  And if their marriage is one where sexual fedility is the agreed convention, then yes they should have every right to expect the other to not have sex with other people.

I am in complete agreement with you. I admit I was under the influence of wbts society's thinking. As for extra marital sex, it would only apply if the other mate refused to have sex to be mean and spiteful, not for any legitiment reason. I believe in marital sexual fedility.People tend to seek acceptance and affection from someone else if their mate withholdes it without reason.

I could go without stimulation in general, I suppose, but it's difficult to imagine. I have other things that I enjoy as well, though (hobbies, skills, etc.). So I suppose that while the NEED for it would stress me, the DESIRE would diminish after awhile. I don't need it as much as a lot of peole do, anyway.

It's getting more and more difficult for me to get the thrill I used to get from sexual intercourse.  I am looking into more experimentation.  Hopefully, I'll get back into that "gotta have it" mode.

I have not had sex for the last 36 hrs

I guess it depends on what someone defines as sex. Is it just vaginal or anal intercourse? Well, I'm gay so the woman sex stuff is out, but I don't do anal. So yeah, I can do without it for the rest of my life.
If by sex you mean anything sexual with another person well, yeah I guess I can go without. I have actually gone without for close on 9 years now.
If I don't feel ready to be with someone emotionally, I certainly won't be with someone physically. I get no enjoyment out of physical intimacy if there is no emtional connection. I know, it sounds sappy.
Does masturbation count? 

At the age of 35 I was told "That" "should have been behind us by now.

Its not only women that stay in a loveless marriage on acount of the offspring.

Its funny non of the wts dogma on wifely subjection cuts in on this matter. Subjection? It was God/jehovah/Jesus who gave us genitals and invented the clitoris. The only part on a human body designed just to give pleasure.

Zeb - just to let you know I am in exactly the same position.  No more to say.  Sometimes it is nice to know you are not the only one.

I am 41 years old, and I've been married to Just Ron for nearly 21 years.  There have been times that my interest in sex has been pretty low.  Lately, it seems that my level of interest is matching up more closely with Just Ron's.  If men are supposed to slow down as they age, he apparantly didn't get the memo.  Plus, he's gotten better at it over the years.  Maybe we are going through our second adolescence LOL

Yeyeyeye good for you Just Ron and Finally Awake.  Ya I agree satistics are not right  I like "experiance"

I have gone my whole life...2 decades...lol.

I prefer not to go without. I can usually last a maximum of 2 weeks but start to lose my powers!
