No Sex for Two Weeks?!

Most Responses from Men: “What?? I can’t go that long!”

Most Responses from Women: “Why? What did I do to make you angry?”

A quick question for those of you in long-term committed relationships. Is two weeks without sex “normal” for you? No, I’m seriously asking this. Are you with someone who thinks  bi-monthly sex is perfectly fine?

I’ve been doing a little reading about the Wall Street Journal article that alleged some crazy percentage of women would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up the internet for as long. Now I realize that article came out about a year ago…but it still got me thinking. One of the responses it received was by Andrea Grimes over at “Heartless Doll“. Andrea was upset because she did not believe it was a fair poll to begin with – One needs the internet to continue living a productive life in today’s world whereas sex can come and go without much upheaval. (After all, bills will still be paid, etc.)

However what struck me was one comment left by a reader named Brendon who said, “I’m really surprised so many men in that age group would rather have sex and no net for two weeks than vice versa. You’d think after being in a committed relationship or married for that long, they’d be used to two week hiatuses.”

*coughs, sputters, cleans the computer screen from the droplets of sprayed coffee*

Ummm, Brendon…really?!

Study after study has shown that couple’s in long-term relationships who have sex 3-4 times a week stay together longer, live longer lives and report higher levels of overall contentment and happiness. Isn’t that reason enough to save up a teeny-tiny bit of energy at the end of the day for a little snog with your hunny-bunny?

I think so.

  1. In my opinion, Sex play’s a big role on married partners, it’s a way of a bonding moment together, so, for me 2 weeks without sex maybe normal but it’s not a good sign for you relationship.

  2. If a woman would rather go two weeks without sex then give up the internet, I’d say the man in the relationship needs to add a little passion and inspire some desire. Relationships take work from both sides, and if one finds it acceptable to go for so long without slapping knees, then I’d say that couple needs to work a little harder at their relationship.

    • I understand what you’re saying completely Jeff. But I’ve known relationships where either He or She isn’t the amorous-seeking type. One where He/She would rather pour over earning statements or balance their checkbook than balance the tip of his cock on her tongue. I suppose it has a lot to do with how well you know your partner, how they are after major hormone events such as PMS or giving birth, and how close you two really are to one another.

  3. I’ve been down this road before of going without sex for that long. Let me tell you, its not fun. In fact, I strongly believe that couples who have sex even twice a day stay together and are happier. They interviewed this very religious and conservative couple, and they had no problem joyfully admitting that they have sex all day long. I personally believe that sex and love are intertwined with each other.

  7. Yeah I’ve gone that long without sex and being catholic I was raised to believe that jacking off was a sin. So it leads to a lot of unhappiness on my part.

  8. I can’t wait for 2 weeks! It would be too hard. Kelly xoxo
