No sex for a year.

[Ivan Brogstog]

I mean, suppressing the urge to want sexual stimulation is one thing. Suppressing the THOUGHTS that pop up from time to time when you see a fine woman however is a completely different thing.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. Couldn't have said it better myself.

If videogames alone are enough to keep your life from becoming dull and grey I'd say you have serious problems.

The same thing can be said about sex. If sex alone is enough to keep a persons life from becoming dull and grey then that's a person who definetly has serious problems.

You're missing the point, I just took videogames as an example. If a person engages in a variety of activities that aren't related to that persons sexdrive it stands to reason that it's unlikely that that persons life would suddenly become dull and grey just because the sex drive went away.

You have no idea how relieved I am that you are looking at this like a three-dimensional idea. Thanks for adding your input.

I know it sounds weird but providing I got something decent in return (like supreme wealth or power) I would permanently turn off my sex drive altogether. I hate people that much. Yes... in retrospect I need to get laid... badly.

No sex drive = No will to live.
Seriously, I would be miserable without it.

That I side I don't go party with the intent of getting down with a girl, I do it because of the fun that it ensures. The girls is just added fun 'n games.

Already there.
It's pretty cool.

I'm a virgin, and a 28-year old one at that (Not by choice, mind you.) So a year without sex would be difficult for me at all.

Life without a sexdrive however, would suck. I'd miss the enjoyment I get looking at pretty girls (Aswell as other benefits). Plus, sex is so deeply rooted in our consitution, that not having it would seriously feel like a part of me is missing.

And being a cartoonist, I'm very pasionate.

 

[FightThePower]

My life would be a lot better without any sex drive. It wouldn't complicate my relationship with my best friend, I wouldn't feel bad that I'm not getting any and I wouldn't make stupid purchases just to impress the opposite sex. Barely used that aftershave.

Stop trying to impress the girls and do something because you want to do it. I can tell when a guy is doing something just to impress me and it puts me off to be honest.
You'll run into Mrs Right when you least expect it, that's what I always did.

My last relationship, we didn't have sex for a year and it was pissing me off. You'd think he'd make a damn effort. It made me think he didn't love me and was repulsed by me -which he clearly was-. In my relationship now, which is much better than the last, if we don't have sex in a week, I'll get really upset and think he's going off me, then I'll start thinking all sorts of horrible stuff.
It's stupid because we still cuddle and kiss and he tells me he loves me all the time, but I feel like there's something missing if we don't have much sex, although it doesn't mean he doesn't love me. We're just a bit busy with work and college.

After my (now ex) moved away 6 months ago mine seems to have gone away, no urges, no nothing, I've gotta say, gives me lots more time to think lol, and my thinking has lead me to one conclusion, I miss my sex drive ; p

 

[SimuLord]

My life wouldn't be substantially different. I've put off relationships until I finish school, don't see a good reason to start an intimate relationship while planning on moving in the next few years.

I'm in the same boat as you. Haven't had sex since August, haven't even been on a date since November. It's just kind of occurred to me that anything I build here is going to go by the wayside when I move home to Boston (or worse, I'll knock some girl up and be stuck here in Reno), so why bother leading some poor girl on?

I've even told my married friends back home to be on the lookout for cute single girls in their mid- to late 20s...the running joke goes that when my plane lands at Logan Airport there will be a dozen women waiting at the gate saying "Are you Fox? Because my friend (Ellen/Louise/Laurie/about five other married women I know) said I should meet you."

 

[the-kitchen-slayer]

Me? It would be a RELIEF!!!

God, what I would give to be rid of that incessant plague known as the sex-drive. It would make my life so much better in my opinion.

Why? No more drama, no more looking at people I'd prefer to just be friends with and wishing I could get in their pants, less desire to find a relationship, and generally a "lonelier" life where I could TRULY focus on me and my needs instead of worrying half the time about relationships and the BS that comes with them.

But then again, I'm rather screwed up in the head if you can't tell. So for me it would be a blessing

I know, and if you'd read my previous post in this thread you'd know I agree on that. I just thought your example was a bit... typical. That's all.

I guess I should clarify. I didn't learn to play guitar, to sing, or to surf merely to impress someone. They have been things I've wanted to do my WHOLE life. But, being a busy person with school, work and friends I never really had time for them. When a girl I was dating asked me one thing I've always wanted to do but never have, I said, play guitar. She asked me why I never had. Now, any friend could have asked me the same thing and it might have turned out the same, but because SHE asked me about it, it made me really consider it. So I got a guitar and began learning. It's not about impressing her, per-se, but more about her influence on me because I was attracted to her. If I never had a sex drive, or attraction, would it be different? I don't know, and that's why I'm asking for others ideas on the subject.

Hehehe, you should have a t-shirt printed for that day saying: "Yes, in fact I AM Fox".

On a sidenote: your last name isn't Mulder, right? : /

That was intentional, mate.

I thought I'd pick something that would most likely be easy to relate to in order to get my point across.

 

[sycoesis]

i think if it was turned of i would live a more peaceful if someone more boring life so as long as i could turn it back on at some point then ya id turn it off for a good while

You sure you're not just saying that to rationalize your suden impulse to start playing the guitar? That you in fact DID do it to impress her, but don't wish to seem like you're the kind of person who'd do such a thing just to impress a woman?

I mean, attractive as the gal may have been, you're not a person that don't do anything on his own volition, right? If you have started hobbies or activities on your own before, without any outside input from others then why suddenly start because a girl tells you to?

Ohhh, I see. >_> Well the want for sex makes us do all sorts of things (like people in relationships sleeping around because they don't get enough sex), so having no sex drive would probably mean you wouldn't bother spending all your money in the hopes of getting sex.
I still stand by what I say though, you'll find someone eventually and you won't have to spend money on trying to meet her.

I'd have more time to write my novels, and more money in my pocket.

But it wouldn't be fun
