How long do you think you could go without having sex with your partner before you broke down and cheated or broke up. I don't mean if you were away at war, or lost on a desert island with a slew of beautiful polynesian people of your preferred sex, I just mean if your partner just straight up wasn't putting out. This is a fun way to start fights between couples at parties, so I thought I'd see what everybody on eden thinks.
How long could you wait?

Seriously though, it would really depend on the reason my husband was not putting out. Is it a physical problem, no fault of his own? Is it an emotional problem? Is he still willing to help me enjoy myself? Is he completely disgusted by me? Is he no longer in love with me? This is very tough to answer without knowing specifics.
I suppose it might be easier to answer for someone who is not so invested in their relationship, maybe of those who are not married. I don't know.

I agree. It would depend on the reason. If they were doing it out of spite or some other immature reason, I'd dump them almost immediately. If it was something else like they were hurt, stressed, tired, etc...even just not in the mood or felt low...that is a totally different story. I am very accommodating, accepting, and sympathetic to most situations, but I will not tolerate deliberate hurt or games.

Well my relationship is at a point where my wife is gone for 7+ months at a time and i go without just fine pretty much only interested in her anyways so never even thought of going elsewhere for it.

I'm joking to the extent that I would ever intentionally start a fight between a couple, but last time this question was asked in a public forum, the disparity between each partner's answer got virtually everyone into an argument.

I was assuming that there was nothing emotional lacking in the relationship, save for the actual physical contact. I would assume the same interaction you enjoy at your best, but absolutely no interest in sex. I can't really classify as it a physical or emotional problem, because emotional problems are physical at some level, particularly when it comes to a lack of interest in sex. But presume for the sake of argument that you're not estranged, there's just a complete lack of sex in the relationship. You've brought up the problem, talked about it, and your partner feels bad for his/her lack of interest, but doesn't want to have sex.

I have toys, so does he. If one of us wasn't into it for any reason, we'd just use those.

I agree that the reason is imperative. If he's not interested in me anymore, it's time for us both to move on. If it's something else and he's communicating; I could go on until it gets better. Like the other ladies; I can please myself.
01/19/2011
There are many reasons this could happen, and it ultimately depends on the people involved and what they want/expect. You get people who want sex, don't get it, they up and leave. And you get people who work through it and want the companionship.
I have terribly low libido, and I also have a lot of sexual hangups, coupled with having a long distance relationship of 4 years. (Only been in person around each other for 2 weeks.) I am typically not the kind of woman guys want to date since i have so many 'issues,' both physically and mentally. My bf, however, loves me to death and wants to help me with *everything* and give me what i never got growing up: love. I do feel guilty though, i admit, but it's his choice to stay with me knowing full well what he's getting into.
So really, it depends on the kinds of people involved.

During my wife's pregnancies, there were 3-4 month periods when she had absolutely no interest in sex, and I had no choice but to go along with that. I'd rather not think about lasting longer than that.

When I was pregnant, I was on "pelvic rest" for the last few months, so we weren't allowed to have sex... no orgasms for me, period. That SUCKED. Of course, it was towards the end of the pregnancy so my hormones were raging and I was hoping the baby could be, um, poked out of me. Months before that I was either really sick or just not into it. I think we didn't do it for at least 6 months, and then I had to wait 8 weeks after having the kid too thanks to the c-section. So... (doing math)... that was at least an eight month stint of not being allowed to do it? Yeah.

After 6 weeks I'd bring it up. There's clearly a problem if it's been that long and I want to address it. I just don't see cheating as an option. Couples counseling, yes. Cheating, no.
01/19/2011
For me it would totally depend on the reason too. But I know my solution wouldn't be cheating on him. I really feel like with good communication, we could work anything out, including something like this. I'd bring it up after a week or so, just because for us that would be a long time.
01/19/2011
I could go without it forever if I had to and I definitely wouldn't cheat on them. As far as breaking up with them, it would depend on the reason that they weren't having sex with me.
01/19/2011
I would broach the issue with my wife first and foremost. I'd never cheat. Period.
01/19/2011
It would depend on why--is this a medical thing? Is it emotional? Are we just not connecting?
I'd rather break up than cheat, so that is out, but we'd definitely be having some long talks.

When I met my future wife I was in a relationship with a girl that was completely based on sex, but had absolutely nothing in common. When I met what ended up becoming my wife, I broke up with that girl after about a month of my future wife and I talking and being friends. We got married one year later and she didn't let me have sex with her until our wedding night. That just about killed me. I wanted nothing more than to have sex with just about anything, but I didn't because there was something special about her. For any other girl I wouldn't have waited over a month.
01/26/2011
I made a commitment and it's going to stay that way. I'd do things with myself, but I'm not going to throw the relationship away.
01/26/2011
You just have to talk about it. There's GOT to be a reason.
