How long can you last without sex?

How long can you last without intercourse, before abstinence starts
negatively influencing and affecting your overall health? How well do

your "sexual watch"? How well can you interpret your "need" for having
sex?

Can this need be calmed and oppressed just by the tender gestures of
your partner or do you need an entire sexual "show" to feel completely
satisfied? Since most people do not ask themselves these kind of
questions, there are often conflicts due to the difference between the
behaviour and the sexual needs of everyone.

What are your priorities?
Sex is, undoubtedly, a necessity of the body, based on two
coordinates: reproduction and the tendency to socialize, to
permanently cooperate with those around us. Survival on long periods
of time is based to humans' abilities to live in groups, which
involves the birth of relations, more or less lasting or enjoyable.
Most times, one of the options regarding celebrating or making an
inter-human relationship official is the sexual act itself.

How is your body saying you need to have sex?
It might be easy to overlook your body's signals regarding the need to
have sex, because many times you associate them to other problems
which you probably have to deal with on a daily basis. The best way is
to observe which and how many negative moods go away immediately after
having sex. Keep in mind the fact that sex does not always involve two
people, in other terms, consider masturbation an option.

Must-have-sex signals
- Excessive nervousness
- Long states of unjustified anxiety, migraines
- Permanent stress
- Lack of food appetite
- Lack of the need to sleep
- Contradictory feelings regarding certain persons
- Frequent sexual fantasies, especially during nighttime.

Practically, a non-existing sexual life causes a lot of reactions,
more or less explicable, and in some extreme cases it can lead to
severe physical and philological reactions: skin itches, irritations,
anger etc. You could end up hurting the ones beside you, emotionally
or even physically, because you did not "read" one of your body's
cries for help.

Once you fully and completely understand your body's message: "I need
sex!" it will be a lot easier for you to identify the time periods
these unpleasant symptoms occur. If you manage to do this, you will
also be able to prevent them. Of course, these intervals vary from
person to person, and they are dependent to certain factors, such as
age, sex, lifestyle, physical condition, pregnancy, menopause etc.

All in all, make sure you take some time and really analyze yourself
and your body, your needs and your desires, and that way you will
manage to understand the course of action you have to take so that
everything returns on its' right normal "path" again.

I went over 20 years without sex, but that was a long time ago.

And at the rate I'm going now, I'll be breaking that record if I'm not
careful ...

I went 28, and since then I've only had it a massive ten times. Eleven
if you have a different definition to me and Bill Clinton.

When I break out the sock I prefer there not to be any hands inside.

I used to have a supervisor who had worked as a staff nurse in a psych
hospital run by the Church for nuns. The stories about self-inflicted
genital damage would curl your hair.
