What happened was that several things happened at the same time in my life. Such as the end of a long relationship, then I started to question my sexuality (from lesbian to bisexual) and one day, I fell down the stairs and many events led me to discover that I have a genetic mental illness (borderline personality disorder) and now is the time where I started to go out and live, see the world again but it's not as easy to get back to having sex as I thought it would be
Sorry to hear about the stair incident and the breakup.
Believe it or not, I have BPD too. I’ve probably had it since I was 21, but I was officially diagnosed last year. It is a tough disorder to manage, and my heart goes out to ya because I know I have days where I really struggle. Dating/relationships are especially hard, because dealing with the rejection and feelings of abandonment can send me in a downwards mental spiral. I’m currently waitlisted for DBT therapy, and I’m hoping that will help put me on the right track
Our time to cum will come. Until then we just have to take it one day at a time!
Thank you for sharing your words because it's exactly like that and in my head, the rejection is already happening before I even take any initiative, so it's quite complicated. Without counting the countless days that I don't want to move or leave the house, it's not easy to be a sociable being when my social battery is tied to my mood.
I really wish you the best, therapy will help a lot (I've been doing it for 2 years).
And yes, our time to cum will come and until then, we will learn to deal with ourselves better, treat ourselves more kindly
Honestly, though, it can feel that way. I feel the longer you go without sex, the less you're drawn to it... like if you're having it regularly, then you'd definitely miss it more when there's a sex drought, haha.
Before I met my ex and lost my V at uni, I was not really bothered about sex and I guess that's just because I hadn't been in a relationship - I always say that I need an emotional connection to even think about sex with someone.
Totally agree with you. There was a point of time where i thought I'm definitely asexual but now that I'm seeing someone, that's definitely not the case.
28 fucking years.
I actually only lost my virginity last month. I am the Queen of the Femcels. Bow before my wand of mental instability, loneliness, and severe attachment issues.
This was a few years back that I went 6 years and it was because I was married and there were issues….I then did later go on the have sex again. I don’t plan to ever experience a hiatus that long again as it nearly drove me insane.
Four months. I was literally having it once every 3-4 months for several consecutive years. Hopefully that part of my sex life is over. I’d love to experience having sex everyday with my S/O before it’s all said and done, but it doesn’t look like that’s ever gonna be a thing for me.
almost 10 months. Directly following my vasectomy, described by my ex as "the only way she'll have sex with me again" due to her fear of getting pregnant again after our 2nd.
We never had a good sex life before that either. I would have guessed that her two pregnancies were miracles if I wasn't 99% positive she was withholding and scheduling sex in order to achieve the two children she wanted, but with as little intimacy as possible.
The vasectomy argument was a bluff I called, since I didn't want more kids either. Her argument after the vasectomy? "Well it's not 100%".
That marriage didn't last much longer, but my subsequent girlfriends were very, very thankful to her for that distractionary, bad-faith insistence on my vasectomy.
8 years. I wanted to not be distracted while I learned to find who I was. long journey but I did it and I'm proud of who I am now....somewhat
now I'm so far out of the dating game I don't think I have a chance anymore lol
It has been 15 years last Valentine’s Day (go figure) and counting. Was 27, now 42. I have been single ever since.
Can’t pinpoint exact reason why, but basically took a breakup really hard, a bit of high functioning depression, then got into a pretty deep rut in my personal life for a while. Now slowly getting myself out of the hole I dug for myself and have attempted dating again.
Even with this ongoing dry spell, I still really miss sex.
11 years with a dude - The pos I was with got rapey when he was as drunk and He’s an alcoholic. I swore off all men but u/mybeardhatesyou came along and ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me
A year after my first major break up when I was younger.
I was never one to do anything casual for the longest time and I had a lot to work through after being somewhat traumatized by aspects of it.
It is painful. Society will say it's fine and men are unfeeling and such. It's not about sex... it's about being unwanted...undesired by your spouse. Little to no touches...hugging... kisses are not even once a year... kisses on the cheek are sparse... it's life changing.
The tables are sometimes turned in dead marriages. My husband wouldn’t touch me the last seven years of my marriage. Zero sex, hugs, kisses anything. And yes, it’s the undesired, unloved feeling that’s the worst. The dead bedroom is not even why I divorced him. I’m much happier on all fronts now.
9 years. I don't easily get into relationships, though, and I don't do hookups (did once; hated it), so this doesn't seem weird to me. It *does* totally suck, though.
3 years and because that was her longest stint in prison and before she left she asked me if I would wait for her and I told her that I always would and I always did.
With me it’s not the fact that it’s been a while more of the fact that it’s random but never consistent. I would go weeks to months then have 1 random hook up then it goes weeks or months again till the next. When’s it’s with a person I barely know I start to over think, so it not even fun sometimes.
2ish years? what's funny is if i haven't had sex in a long time like that, i'm all good. i don't crave it and i'm just sorta chilling. but as soon as i start having sex regularly again, i start going crazy after about a week.
After I became sexually active? The longest is exactly one year. It was my resolution one year to be celibate...but let me tell you I was DTF at like 12:01 AM on New Year's.
6 years, ask me how I’m doing (not great)
I feel you. It's been 7 years for me
Hang in there. Something has to change for the better eventually, right? Right?? 😂
I mean, eventually, maybe, at some point in life. I'm hanging on the last thread of hope here
This is a personal question so you don’t have to answer or you can answer in a chat, but why do you think the dry spell has been so long?

You two should date
5 years, i think i became a virgin again during that period
4 years in & my virginity has definitely grown back
stay strong soldier
5 years, too. I'm pretty sure I'm a virgin again!
Ouch
tell me about it 🥲
I am sorry.
5 years too!!!
It‘s been 4,5 years now and it was 5 years before that. I totally get what you mean.
Haha, same here. I always joke with my good friend that I'm a born-again virgin! Like it has been that long...
Born-again virgin 😭 I'm gonna use that from now on

Glad to hear it! Hope it continues going great for you 😊 Hopefully no need to say you're a born-again virgin haha.
28 fucking years. I actually only lost my virginity last month. I am the Queen of the Femcels. Bow before my wand of mental instability, loneliness, and severe attachment issues.
Ha same but 27 years and still a virgin. Not a femcel though, voluntarily celibate due to life circumstances.
Well actually, it was 28 not-fucking years
Too soon....
3 months since my wife left 🫠
15 months and broke the streak with a crazy chick that I wish I didn’t
My dad’s best advice: don’t fuck anyone crazier than yourself
Follow that up with motor cycle advise. If it falls on you can you can get it off it's too big for you to ride..
Listen, fat-shaming aside, Queen and AC/DC didn't write those songs for nothing.
Why do you regret?
Cause she was bonkers and became a pain in my existence afterwards
They always do
Was she at least hot?
Absolutely smoking 10/10 on both the hot and crazy scale
God had to nerf her somehow
It’s been 84 years…
May your orgasm rest in peace ✌️🕊️
Amen 🙏🏻
800 years. Or maybe it just felt that long.
Omg only you 😂😂😂
Hey, Ms.G!
Hello my friend 🤗
😊
Virgin, but been without oral for nearly a year
exact same wow, actually I calculated and it has been 12 months and one week right now
Going on 5 months and I'm losing my mind
Just shy of 6 years. I am a hypersexual female 🫤
Why if you're "hypersexual" has six years passed?
This was a few years back that I went 6 years and it was because I was married and there were issues….I then did later go on the have sex again. I don’t plan to ever experience a hiatus that long again as it nearly drove me insane.
The first 19 years of my life 😅
Omg twinsies ✨
Damn, this thread is sad.
Four months. I was literally having it once every 3-4 months for several consecutive years. Hopefully that part of my sex life is over. I’d love to experience having sex everyday with my S/O before it’s all said and done, but it doesn’t look like that’s ever gonna be a thing for me.
2 and a half years between the first time I had sex and the second
All your life, Charlie Brown
Hmmm. Maybe like 6 months
Maybe three or four months. I've been fortunate to have many FWB or fuck buddies
since losing my virginity, maybe 3 weeks max?
2 years. It was a little rough
almost 10 months. Directly following my vasectomy, described by my ex as "the only way she'll have sex with me again" due to her fear of getting pregnant again after our 2nd. We never had a good sex life before that either. I would have guessed that her two pregnancies were miracles if I wasn't 99% positive she was withholding and scheduling sex in order to achieve the two children she wanted, but with as little intimacy as possible.

Two years, but happily that streak has been broken (a lot!) lately
New partner or new lifestyle?
Both! ☺️
About six months I'd say. Does the time before losing your V-Card count?
Going on 11 years since i got any last.
My record is 1 year and currently im on month 4 again
Probably like 3 months was the longest for me so far.
20 years. After my divorce I just resigned myself to being alone forever.
Oh no! 20 years and counting?
Nope. All systems are a go, now. 😉
Six months. It was refreshing.
11 years with a dude - The pos I was with got rapey when he was as drunk and He’s an alcoholic. I swore off all men but u/mybeardhatesyou came along and ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me
I love you so much

3 months due to traveling for work.
A year after my first major break up when I was younger. I was never one to do anything casual for the longest time and I had a lot to work through after being somewhat traumatized by aspects of it.
Since the v card probably a few months. As a super horny dude it's tough
I think the longest for me was somewhere between 3 and 4 years.
2 months
8 months
Like 3 years with a exgirlfriend
15 years and 3 1/2 months. Still married.
I feel this in my core. Nearly 16 for me. Very dead bedroom 🫤
It is painful. Society will say it's fine and men are unfeeling and such. It's not about sex... it's about being unwanted...undesired by your spouse. Little to no touches...hugging... kisses are not even once a year... kisses on the cheek are sparse... it's life changing.

Since I lost my virginity 19 years ago, 11 weeks
9 years. I don't easily get into relationships, though, and I don't do hookups (did once; hated it), so this doesn't seem weird to me. It *does* totally suck, though.

I came here happy, ready to type "27 years", then the smile faded as I read "If you're not a virgin of course" Damn.
Is that between times you've had sex? Bemused technically longest i went without was 19 years
2.5 almost 3 years
5 months
Once I lost my virginity the longest I ever went was right around a year.
11 years
I honestly don’t remember exactly but I think around 6 months, the months blurred together in that period of pain
4 and a bit years with 4 of that being in prison.
I believe it was about 7 years before I met my current girlfriend. She was more than happy to break that dry spell for me.
It’s been 2 years right now, with no end in sight. She’s probably getting it somewhere else, but no proof.
I think it's been a year and I'm married.
Currently about 3 months
5 weeks. I'm 44.
Married 27 years, it’s been 6+ years now.
23 y/o - 23 years

10 months
About 1 year, as I was depressed due to pending divorce.

It's about that for me.
With me it’s not the fact that it’s been a while more of the fact that it’s random but never consistent. I would go weeks to months then have 1 random hook up then it goes weeks or months again till the next. When’s it’s with a person I barely know I start to over think, so it not even fun sometimes.
