ok - im a girl but i have to comment.
when i read the first post i was thinking, um, doesnt everyone here or there have a dry spell and it would be a contest of who went the longest. then after just a few replies "a day, a WEEK (!!), 5 days" all around the same time length except a few, i am just so happy to be a girl. heres y
my boyfriend and i were just talking about this, we have sex a lot, always have, and its great for both of us. he was saying how he just recently has stopped feeling obsessed with it, and that bothers him. he feels like he's losing that young boy drive and just finds himself "daydreaming" about it less. it turned into a debate about how girls pursue sex vs guys, i always say - i dont get why guys put themselves through the exhausting work of meeting new girl, convincing girl to do it, dealing w the aftermath, repeat in a few days. why not find a girl you really like, sexually in line w you, and either b in a relationship with her or find a cool girl fuck buddy, we are out there and want nothing more than your sex....youre more likely to get it when you want it with a gf or sex buddy than to try and beat the odds out on the town, no? aand isnt the best thing when a person knows EXACTLY what you like/need, which only comes with time? sure theres something to be said for variety/novelty, but seriously. just saying, but judging by your responses, clearly you all cant help it.
to my point, i am a girl who loves sex and is positive and healthy mindset about it, but there are times where i will go months without even considering it, other than maybe flashbacks/nice memories of past sex. still, NO need to ACT ON the thoughts, EVERY time. i can keep it in the rational part of my mind, and would think nothin of going 6 months without an orgasm if it just so happened to work out that way. get what i mean? theres no rhyme or reason, but if its not available, i do without and it doesnt affect my life. however, when i am in a phase of obsessively wanting it, i find myself acting in a way that frightens myself sometimes, not talking anything unsafe or sad here, but for ex i will put up with my boyfriends shit if i know i can get sex by the end of the night, whereas if i dont want any, ill prob just go home if hes being an all around ass that night. then afterwards, if the need is satisfied ill say to myself i cant believe you let him do that for it. but yea then the mood just goes as quick as it came, and i go through this cycle all the time with no evident pattern.
basically, im saying that when i do feel crazed for it, i dont like how it feels, and i cant imagine how you guys get anything done in life when it is such a huge distraction! and, no break from it apparently. (a week isnt significant)
