Emerging from the bedroom cocoon...How long does it take?

Contributor: Redboxbaby Redboxbaby
So my husband was gone for the month of Jan. He took the week he returned off so we could stay in bed for seven days and get our fill of each other. He just returned from another month long trip, he's off again for a week and we just can't seem to get enough of each other. It seems like we require a full week being holed-up in our bedroom before we are able to resume our daily routine without the overwhelming urge to attack one another in public (and no one wants to see that). And for those who are wondering, no we are not newlyweds. We have been married for 18 years.

How long does it typically take for and your SO to emerge from your bedroom cocoon and resume your daily routine?

I'm not sure if you truly mean that you two do not come out of your bedroom for 7 days straight or that you are very sexually active for 7 days. If you really stay in and are intimate for 24/7, good for you! I cannot comprehend that amount of intensity since we seem to find a need to get back to "something normal" after a few hours after being separate for a week or two. However, we will experience a 4 week long separation for the first time, starting today, so we will see how we react when we finally reunite at the end of May!

Oh, I voted for other since we tend to spend 2-5 days being intimate at home (hours at a time, not 24/7) as often as we can without completely disrearding all other commitments and responsibilities. However, we are still affectionate in public even after doing this!

We, of course, take care of responsibilities that we cannot let go by the wayside; however, every spare moment we have, it seems we are in the sack for at least a full week once he returns! I purposely cancel all plans that I can, so I can have more time with him.

We frequently take a week off, turn off the phones, and seriously hole-up, not leaving the house for a full week. My husband likes to call those times, "Naked Week!"

Lol I think it's adorable that Y'all have been together so long and still are so into each other. That's so nice to hear. It gives me hope. I've only been with mine for going on 5 years and it seems every couple I've ever known has fallen apart these past several years and I sometimes worry if a good strong rel. is even possible after so long. I love to see couples who've been together for many years in love still. Our neighbors are so precious. They're in their late 60's and crazy about each other! We love being at their house. They have the cutest stories and pet names.

Anyways, I apologize for getting off the subject. I do that far too often. Lol. my partner and I haven't ever been apart except for 2 weeks the whole time we've been together! The 2 weeks we were apart was when I went alone on vacation with the fam. He usually goes with us, but we went alone 2wice. I hated being away from him for that long and we were very handsy! The only thing was, I was exhausted from the trip so we didn't do much of anything but sleep for a while.

This is a great poll! I just got back last night from a business trip over the weekend. I was only gone 1 night, but we just can't keep our hands off each other. I took a brief nap last night, and then we got at it, and then again this morning. So I'm not sure how long it will take us. LOL It feels really good, I'll say that.

We do the same thing. Hubby's been off of work since January due to an accident at work. We've been having sex every single day all day ever since, lol. Yea, sometimes we get on each other's nerves, but we wouldn't rather be anywhere else.

I can't really answer this one cuz we've never really been apart for any length of time. The only time I can think of is when I gave birth to our youngest child. She liked to have killed me and I spent a time in the hospital after she went home but he was so consumed with two older boys and a new born baby he was ecstatic to have me home just so he could sleep lol

Because I'm in school right now, we only get to see each other on the weekends during which we spend as much time as possible in bed.

I was the first to reply to this post and have now been separated for almost a week and have been missing her so much and she has missed me that we just talked tonight about not wanting to do anything other than being together sensually and sexually for at least the first week that she returns. I think I now understand what RedBoxBaby is talking about...

We, my boyfriend and I are like that, we have been inseparable. It seems like if we are too busy to see each other for a day or two one of us is asking the other when do I get to see you, and it is almost a non-stop thing where we have to be near the other person with skin contact even if it is not sexual. It would be nice if I could give you a definite answer for how long it takes us to bounce back, but we are almost always in that state of needing to be around each other, and some people say that is will change when we get married but so far no change, and it has been like 6 months. . . . So I guess what I was trying to get around to saying is that if you guys need the skin time, then take it! You two are in love and should have that available as often as you need it!

When we're apart, it usually takes a day or two to get back on track without being all over each other. Occasionally it takes longer, depending on how long we've been apart.

I'd say about three days.

If I have the chance, a day or two. After that, we'll be more functional, but probably not fully there
