Who is longest without sex?

I wonder who on this board has gone the longest without sex, meaning intercourse. My ex-wife and I separated in October of 2003. Sometime during the summer of 2004, I did make out with a woman involving getting totally naked and doing everything but penetration, but emotionally I wasn't ready for IC. So for me, it's been more than three years.

There I times I crave sex, and other times I don't care if I never have it again. Emotionally, the divorce was a devastating experience, and I don't know if I could handle that kind of rejection again.

How about you other posters?

I appreciate your suggestion, Tish. My divorce not only crushed me emotionally, but the ex pretty much cleaned me out financially, so I'm 56 and starting over. I have a low paying job and can't afford much counseling. Then one day my sister calls. She had done some research and found an agency that helps people with depression and bases payment on income. I called them and I am going to their office next week for an initial appointment.

Thanks for caring.

Excluding my first 19 years of life and not counting solo, I think I might win with 9 years (95-04). My husband's physical rejection of me during our last five married years took a huge toll on me. And even though I desired sex 24/7, I could never bring myself to the possibility of being rejected again. Then in 2004, something clicked (maybe I had become strong enough to accept myself with or without anyone's rejection ??) and within 2 months I propositioned two men.

6 3/4 years and counting. Currently going through divorce so the streak will continue for the foreseeable future.
