LONGEST BARREN STRETCH (POLL 46)

In a poll I carried out between March and April this year, I asked what the longest strech was without sex after one became sexually active. A total of 156 people responded (thanks again) and it appears the most common choice was between one and three months.

That is a long time. Apart from the six to seven weeks after childbirth when I abstained, for obvious reasons, it has to be three weeks for me. And that includes no DIY! It was hard initially but you get used to it, although my friends did mention that I was a wee bit on the grumpy side. 

Here's the thing. Once you overcome the initial difficulties and begin a (conscious or unconscious) phase of abstinence, it becomes easier to be without it. That is a dangerous path to take because when you get too used to it (or without it), which many couples do, you might inadventenly put it on the backburner.

If work or family takes you away from one of the activities that gives the most pleasure or helps to de-stress, then you ought to relook at things. Sex is not the most important ingredient but it sure as hell is up there.

So anyway, here are the results of the poll mentioned.

Since Becoming Sexually Active, What Is The Longest Stretch You Have Been Without Sex?

Less than a week: 21 (13.5%)
2-3 weeks: 18 (11.5%)
1-3 months: 39 (25%)
3-6 months: 18 (11.5%)
6 months - 1 year: 27 (17.3%)
Too Long To Recall: 33 (21.2%)

Total Respondents: 156
