6 months of celibacy

Poll

Would you be able to abstain from sex for 6 months?

ok I was just wondering about the general opinion if it's possible to go for six moths without doing it...

why am I asking? I have a boyfriend and I haven't seen him (been in a close physical contact with him) for 4 months..and it will take another 2 months before we will get together again.. as for me, I know I won't cheat on him..

it's not about trust...I do trust him... but still I would want to know if its fairly possible that he was able to turn into a "priest" for 6 months... :cool:

It's certainly possible... difficult but doable. Probably more difficult for a guy considering the faster rate at which our testosterone levels increase. Its all about restraint, and if you care enough you'll do it.. Might sound weird but have you considered phone sex as an option?

Oh and to the OP it would be difficult if you were a Nymphomaniac but otherwise I think you (and him) will do fine.

web-sex(web-cam etc) -> but that's an incomparable replacement you can imagine... ...phone sex would be way too expensive since I'm in Tokyo right now :biggrin:

well, i'd manage it if i couldnt have sex with him for that long - ie he or i was away/had some awful disease. hell, i wouldn't go and cheat on him!
but i would find it difficult if he was actually there.

Yes, my boyfriend and I have agreed not to have sex until marriage for his religious reasons. It's so hard sometimes - but its not as though we don't make up for it in other ways :p:

But to answer the question, of course it is possible. :smile:

wow that's really nice of you that you respect the traditions/beliefs of his religion :wink:

but I think it must be even harder for him :rolleyes:

Well I love him and I'd do anything to be with him - Sex or no sex! :smile:

But you're right, he does get a bit "restless" (to put it nicely) sometimes! :wink:

Aren't the options the wrong way round? I'd answer yes if I was single, and no if I was in a relationship.

My boyfriend and I are both Christians and don't believe in sex before marriage, so yes, it is possible to go without sex in a relationship and still have a perfectly functioning relationship!
Sometimes, going without sexual activity for a while can remind you of your partner's personality and the whole reason why you are with them in the first place, rather than just the sexual benefits which you recieve by way of your relationship. If you can survive 6 months of celibacy then I'd say that your relationship will be stronger because of it :smile:

Thank you for the encouragement :wink:

sometimes I wish I was bound by the traditions of a religion...then it would be easier to bear some aspects of life I guess.. :confused:

I think it's perfectly manageable, I mean, if my boyfriend went away for 6months, I'm not going to stop loving him so of course I wouldn't cheat, and I'm sure your boyfriend feels the same way about you! :smile:
