"I Need Sex Every Ten Days...Or Else"
A friend of mine told me that he told his wife that he needs to have sex every 10 days, or he will "start looking elsewhere".
Wow, points for being honest. It's definitely true that if a man is denied sex over a long period of time, he will generally not be happy with the relationship. But what impressed me the most is that he had a specific number of days in mind (ten).
It reminded me of that movie "40 Days and 40 Nights" with Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon (whatever happened to her anyway?). The movie makes a huge deal out of how Josh's character goes 40 days without sex. Is that really such an incredible stretch of time? That movie diminished my sense of manhood (Hollywood more than made up though, by bringing out the "40 Year Old Virgin" - okay, now *that's* a really long time.)
Anyway it got me thinking: everyone probably has a specific number in mind. How many days can you survive without sex?

Hmm. depends...Normally, around 10-14 days, and Im going insane. Not really for the sexual part, but the intimacy....to feel close to my husband. I always feel closer after S-E-X
haha i have survived 16 years without sex. I think i can wait a little more :)
To infinity and beyond.
Seriously I have no idea, the longest I have gone without is 8 months.
In the movie he cant watch/do anything sex related; that means touching one's self, hmm, ill two years.
Ahaha. The boyfriend hasnt had "sex" (penis in vagina) in three years.
I think it can be done.
Married couples should have sex at least two times a week!
You get the connection and helps with stress!
Wait, i have a question: was he threating to cheat or to watch porn and handle it himself?
Xo
It fluctuates a lot.
That guy seems like kind of an asshole.
What the heck? Is that a threat to her that he will cheat? What if one of them has to travel for work for a few weeks or something?
Man does not live on sex alone.
His girlfriend/wife may feel the same, sure he never lets her down:)
Understandable that a relationship thrives on all forms of intimacy, sex large among them. But to imply he would cheat on the eleventh day of no sex? Excuse me, but what an ass.
Moving on from that, I can survive without sex for quite a long time. Usually I'll think about it for a few days actively but then forget all about it until the opportunity presents itself again. I'm very adaptable.
On a related topic, what ever happened to masturbation?
Umm....Its been about a year and a half, so I can go for a while! But this guy seems like a jerk!
If I were married I'd be all over my husband, but that guy is the kind of jerk that makes me want to withhold sex. I'd never marry or even date a man like that...I'd even be reluctant to be friends with him. It's a big turn off when guys are expectant of that kind of stuff, especially with a set time frame like "at least every ten days." It's disgustingly selfish to me.
Anyway, provided that I'm single, I've gone quite some time (say my entire life) without it.
i the movie he couldnt jerk off either and thats very hard.
no pun inteneded
I'm sure you can survive your whole life without sex. You won't spontaneously combust or anything.
It all depends...a week or 2....once 3 weeks because I was sick. My husband waits for me and vise versa...but when we want it...we make up for the days/weeks that we didn't have sex! ;)
I can go for a while. I think the longest I've gone without has been... about 5 months or so.
I can go for months without sex, but I'd still want it badly, and I couldn't go a week without having an orgasm. I'd use a vibrator to get off. But this guy is an asshole, sounds like he is looking for an excuse to cheat.
The longest I've gone is 8 months. Unless you count the fifteen year stretch from birth. :)
That's kind of a douche thing to say.
@josiebunny@xanga - I have to agree, that guy sounds like an asshole who doesn't see her as much more than an outlet for sex.
Haha well, infinitely to be honest. Once I'm deprived of it, I don't realize how much I want/need it.
Of course, once you're reminded and it's available... well--that's a different story.
On the topic of this husband--all the power to him. Healthy relationships (particularly married ones) really do need physical intimacy. Although, if he breaches the contract of marriage, maybe a divorce is in order: then he can sleep around as much as he wants!
That's a terrible thing to say. Maybe she should have told him that if he could arouse her at least once every ten days, then she might be able to manage!
I honestly would have sex every day if I could. That being impossible/unlikely, I can really go for a very long time without it. And I have gone for a long time, even while in a relationship. But after a few months I think I would start to get restless... especially if we're not even married. I mean, come on!
While in a relationship I went 2 weeks. Being single it was 3 months. But to answer the question, I would say 5 days, that's not counting special circumstances.
everyday & night is what i have in mind but i have been on a 3 month dryspell... life sux right now!! WHAT?!?! I'M IN MY PRIME!!! lolol.
I went 3 months every summer and it was hell. I'd say 8 weeks is about it.
Sounds like the guy is only interested in sex. He has the nerve to tell his wife that he can't go more than 10 days without sex and if he doesn't get it he's going to look elsewhere. I feel bad for her to have to feel like a sex machine instead of a precious, valued human being. If the guy wanted sex all that much, he should have stayed single and hit the bars and nightclubs.
