How Long Can You Last Without Sex?
How well do you know your "sexual watch"? How well can you interpret the signals of your "need" of having sex
? How long can you
last without intercourse, before abstinence starts negatively influencing and affecting your overall health? Can this need be
calmed and oppressed just by the tender gestures of your partner or do you need an entire sexual "show" to feel completely satisfied?
Because most people do not ask themselves this kind of questions, there are often conflicts due to the difference between the
behavior and the sexual needs of everyone.
First of all, know your priorities! Sex is, undoubtedly, a necessity of the body, based on two coordinates: reproduction and
the tendency to socialize, to permanently cooperate with those around us. Survival on long periods of time is based to humans'
abilities to live in groups, which involves the birth of relations, more or less lasting or enjoyable. Most times, one of the
options regarding celebrating or making an inter-human relationship
official is the sexual act itself.
How is your body
saying you need to have sex? It might be easy to overlook your body's signals regarding the need to have sex,
because many times you associate them to other problems which you probably have to deal with on a daily basis. The best way is to
observe which and how many negative moods and states go away immediately after having sex. Keep in mind the fact that sex does
not always involve two people, in other terms, consider masturbation
an option.
Here are some of the most known "I need to have sex" signals: excessive nervousness, long states of unjustified anxiety, migrenes,
permanent stress, lack of food appetite, lack of the need to sleep, contradictory feelings regarding certain persons, frequent sexual
fantasies, especially during nighttime.
Practically, an unexisting sexual life
causes a lot of reactions, more or less explicable, and in some extreme cases it can lead to
severe physical and philological reactions: skin itches, irritations, anger etc. You could end up hurting the ones beside you,
emotionally or even physically, because you did not "read" one of your body's cries for help.
Once you fully and completely understand your body's message: "I need sex!" it will be a lot easier for you to identify the time
periods these unpleasant symptoms occur. If you manage to do this, you will also be able to prevent them. Of course, these intervals
vary from person to person, and they are dependent to certain factors, such as age, sex, lifestyle, physical condition, pregnancy,
menopause/andropause etc.
All in all, make sure you take some time and really analyze yourself and your body, your needs and your desires, and that way you
will manage to understand the course of action you have to take so that everything returns on its' right normal "path" again.
