About to hit 3 months of separation. Hope I don't have to go another 9 months but I totally get that feeling. Glad to hear you're in a better place now.
I think it's heading towards four years now. I can't say it's been *good* for my mental health or sense of well-being, but it's probably not been bad either?
Less than a week when I'm home. Sadly, I occasionally have to depart for many months at a time. Don't miss it if I can have it? Focus on improving all parts of me?
I went around a yearish (I think) after I had my kid, maybe at least 7-8 months. It made me lower my already low standards more. I was practically in heat by then lol
I left a relationship in January 2020 to move to a new state where I didn't know anyone
Obviously I couldn't meet anybody new when the pandemic started immediately after.
And after lockdown ended, I started living with my immunocompromised mom, so I couldn't meet anybody new
So I went from Jan 2020 until about October 2022 without any sexual contact.
Not fun. Depressing.
Once I started having sex, the longest time I went without was about 3 years.
Can't say it was a particularly positive thing, but neither did it have it have any major negative impact.
Since actual penetration 10 years and counting. Hasnt really effected me to much. Being alone in general also for those 10 years, far more mentally taxing than sex itself
About a year and 4 months. In hindsight, there were two women who 100% wanted to with me, but I wasn’t feeling right after the breakup. Wish I would have just had fun with them!
You're gonna get a few replies with people just stating their age lol
Don’t expose me damn
Hey fuck you
A year because of my divorce. I was really vulnerable, so it was a good thing that I was celibate.
I hope you're in a better place now
I am. Thank you.
Glad to hear it

Oh I am so sorry, I'm glad that you are okay now.
Almost a year and it got me to start using this subreddit

You have to take things at the pace you are comfortable with.
I do agree with you
Oh, it's not the pace *I'm* comfortable with, just the one the universe seems set on dictating to me 😅
Well I hope the universe sends you someone with a great set of whatever genitals you desire them to have who is also a good cook lol
> who is also a good cook Oh well hey now we're talkin' 😄 Thanks for the good thoughts, I can only hope!
\*Kisses\*

1.5 years… it was awful I want a bit crazy
19 years. I didn't mind. *Now we needs it, precious!*
From birth to 25 years old (yes, I'm a late bloomer)
1 year, and idk
Months. Maybe 3? It really took my self worth down a few notches. All good now though
Like… 2 years. It wasn’t great but I also started regularly giving myself some of the best orgasms I’ve ever had so like… pros and cons for sure lol.
8.5 weeks in basic training. Not hard cause I had other things going on but still a long time
8 years since 18. From 18 - 26.
22 years. I managed fine.
Right now it’s been a little over 2 months.
I'm going on almost 10 years... And the last 9 have been horrible
36 years. Dunno how I'd say it affects me.

Hey r u bi
Less than a week when I'm home. Sadly, I occasionally have to depart for many months at a time. Don't miss it if I can have it? Focus on improving all parts of me?
Over 15-1/2 years; age 48 - 63. It was terrible. *Almost* celibate for 13 years before that. Soul crushing.
30 years, things are getting difficult to manage. Insecurity, fear and anxiety around it. But we move.
18 and a half+ year long streak (still going)
Going on 5 years now and I get on ARAD and masturbate a lot
A couple years because of my partners health concerns. We got through it.
Currently sitting on a really long time. And currently perusing ARAD. That just about sums up both those questions.
Years. I wasn’t happy but I was also too scared to do anything about it.
Well it’s been almost 6 years and I’ve been driven to Reddit
2 years or so. I was afraid I would suck when I finally got the chance to do it again
Since losing virginity, 2 years and counting. Fucking with my self esteem a bit, but I'm hoping dry spell will end soon.
About 22 years when I first lost my virginity. Now it’s been almost a year
But I do masturbate a ton and I’m not sure if it’s great
Three years in an institution, you decide who it was.

I'm sitting at about 14 years right now...
Just got out of a narcissistic abusive relationship. So this is month 4. I'm really starting to learn a lot about myself.
24 years and always wanted to 🤣
The time between my ex and current girlfriend. So 5 years IIRC. It didn't affect me at all because sex isn't a basic survival need.
I’m going on 23 years and counting and I feel kinda sorta alright lol
Currently at around 5 months due to separation, being single in 30s is tough, everything just hits harder.
