    Most of my life because I'm asexual.

    I'm assuming you mean by choice, otherwise I can't say much positive about it up until that changed at 21.

    8 years - just did.
  • A few months here, but not by choice. I hate not having sex with a woman.

    For years at a time, but not by choice. That said, I could probably hit up a rando and break the spell at any point. Just not my style [anymore]. :laugh:

    Yup, for just over a year and a half because I felt like I was confusing sex with love.

    Lol, after having my kid, it was about a year till sex was on again. But at least there was Pornhub.

    It takes a very special person to be celibate on purpose. I'm not one of those people, mine is not by choice!

    eh sorta. I did not get busy during 2000. I did in '99 and '01 and all of the other times since turning 18. But not that year. I was finishing college, working a lot, etc. It wasn't an intentional choice "I shall be celibate" but more of a "I have a long distance quasi boyfriend who is 1,500 miles away and it's not that serious" kind of thing.

    Yep, the first 17 years of my life. Since then, 3-4 months is the longest I've gone. I could go much longer. I don't have a very high libido at all. My husband sure does, though. :)

    Yes, for almost two years after my ex fiance and I broke up. I was very heartbroken and lost my sex drive completely. The thought of another man touching me was repulsive at the time. Eventually the anger set in, and I couldn't stand the thought that he was the last person I slept with so I took care of that asap.
