Who said I was celibate. You been reading my mail?

8 years. I watched my husband die of cancer for a couple of years. Then lost several loved ones in a short period of time. I was diagnosed with cancer and dealt with that. I masturbated but had no interest in finding a bed partner. Life was a lot simpler before.
One day, it was like walking out of a fog and every time I got close to a male, I literally started to vibrate. I’m sexually active again but sometimes wish I didn’t desire that kind of closeness. Life was a lot

It's been 27 months, and it's gotten quite old. It's the longest dry period since after my first time at age 14. Following that it was nearly 4 years before the mother of my children and I became sexually active.

I could probably get some from one particular ex-wife, but that just doesn't seem like a smart thing to do. Hopefully my return to the music scene will put me in more situations to meet new people.

Current dry spell is six months. Longest ever was a hell of a lot longer than that.

My sex life is like the desert. Short bouts of heavy rain followed by long stretches of famine.

What I can say is that on the rare occasions when sex does happen, it's good. Having sex occasionally is a lot better than getting none at all.

Seriously about twenty five years - I am seventy (never was hugely interested except at the start of a new relationship.)

4 years.

Um ... what's that?

Almost 3 months.

4 years and counting oh dear

After my divorce I think I went about 3-4 months. Probably the longest I've ever gone since I became sexually active.

Oh gawd, don't make me figure that one out.

It has been nearly a decade now and my life is so much less stressful as a result. Sex just seems to complicate relationships so for now I opt out. I do intend on finding someone special to share that aspect of myself with but until then...it just is not worth the risk of someone falling in love with me when I know it will not be reciprocated. When my heart connects again my body WILL respond.

Two years and counting...

I see...

Five years. My ex came to visit me in Thailand in 2013, but I decided he hadn't changed and wouldn't return with him.

Haven’t been with anyone for five years. But I don’t consider myself celibate. To me, celibacy is about much more than not having an intimate partner. Celibacy is the ‘choice’ to not pursue or engage in sexual or intimate activity.
I’m not celibate- if the opportunity comes along, with a person worth my time and love, I will most certainly be involved with them physically and emotionally.

Too long!

HAha! From 1994 to 2009.

I plead the 5th (haha I'm Canadian!)

Bout a week.

A year so far. But I take care of myself.

24 hrs now, phew ! It is a lifetime ?

I went about a month with no orgasms once, just to prove to myself I could do it. I wasn't very happy so I haven't repeated the experiment. But as far as not enjoying sex with others, the longest period was several months. I don't have a precise count. It's a time I try to forget, LOL.

This has to be one of the longest threads so far...about 6 months, maybe longer. Actually, I'm not thinking about this question right. I was celibate for 3 years when I was a fundy Christian.
