How long can any one last without sex? I mean healthy people.

MEN?

WOMEN?

As long as you live. Sex isn't required to keep breathing. Think about nuns, monks, priests, and other celibate individuals. They've never had sex and continue to not have sex and they live long, happy lives.

I agree with Jen...indefinitely. Would I miss it? Would I be frustrated at times? Of course(!)but it's not a necessity of life, it's one of the great pleasures.

Forever, if necessary! Sex isn't essential to life.

I've been celibate for a 12 year period, and more recently for 3 years....doesn't bother me at all! Of course, I don't look at sex as recreational sport....it's supposed to be an expression of love and feelings between two people.

I'm not in a relationship, and I don't even think about it.

True, sex isn't a necessity of life, but I enjoy it so much I know I would miss it. Having said that I don't think I have gone more than a month without partnered sex since I was 22. Elaine

Sheesh! A month! You're lucky. I was without sex for a two year period due to a combination of isolated location, a lack of suitable company, and inability to convince the one or two that were suitable that I was the man of their dreams ;-) I didn't enjoy that at all. Sometimes it's not easy being a guy.

I think the longest I have went is about a month and a half. It is hardest after the first week or two without and then it gets better. But it my current relationship if it has been 2 days (which is very rare) than I "am" getting it.
