In marriages and lives of adults, sex means so much and so much interest is attached to it. In some homes, problems arise over disagreement between partners on sex.
While some are addicts of sex to the extent of procuring it with coercion as in rape or its attempt, some are passive, docile and cold and rarely tilt towards it unless pressed. It is, therefore, vital to hear from adults how long they can possibly stay off sex under normal circumstances, and here are their responses.
Chibuzor Kingsley
It depends on individuals. It depends on how one’s body system works. One can stay for as long as possible provided the body system allows it. I have never been lonely. So, I wouldn’t tell for sure, how long I can abstain from sex but I also know that if there is a reason for me to be alone without a woman, I can stay because sex is not really my priority.
Nneka Okoli
As for me, I enjoy sex. If I have a man in my life, I can bubble with him but if anything happens and I am without a man, I can stay till I get someone. One thing I like myself for is that I cannot go to bed with a man I don’t have feelings for. In fact, not for anything. So, I can stay for a very long time if I am not in love.
Abiola Johnson
Sex is an act that happens when two people are in love. Although some useless men go against a woman’s will to have sex with her but it is not ideal. I personally appreciate sex but not to the extent that I cannot stay without it. I am not yet addicted to it, so I can abstain for years if the situation arises.
Martha Gabriel
I don’t even do it. I am waiting to be married before I venture into it. For as long as it takes my husband to come, that is the much I can abstain. For now, no sex before marriage. I am also believing God that it won’t be long and he would surface.
Ethel Anyanwu
I enjoy sex so much that I don’t think I can stay for two months without it. Being a married man whose wife is always around, I feel her and when I do, I go for sex. If I don’t love my wife, it is a different thing and that could result in staying for so long a time. Loving her has really been fun and I am happy about it.
Georgina Ibe
I can stay away from sex for over six months though, it depends on my state of mind at the period. I don’t think having sex is so important that you won’t live without it. It actually depends on individuals.
Okereke Mother
Sex is not something I place high premium on, though it is a natural thing. But I could stay for years without making love and I don’t think I would die if I don’t have sex with a man.
Chika Okoro
I have stayed off sex for over six months but I have not done it for a year because I am a man and you know sex is a natural thing which we can’t run away from. Even if you stay away from it for sometime, you will still make love again. In fact, as a man, I can’t do without sex. Whenever I feel like making love and I am with a woman, I fulfill my desire. I can’t stay away from sex for long.
Chibuike Okeke
I have stayed off sex for over four months when I was asked by my pastor to go on fasting and praying. Though it wasn’t easy for me as a man because my body was heavy, when I eventually made love after the period, it was as if I was newly deflowered.
Gloria Kanu
I don’t have sex always, so it is not a do-or-die affair. I have stayed without making love to my husband for over five years because he travelled abroad. It is not easy for me because I felt really bad whenever I remember how my husband used to make love to me especially from behind. What would I do? I just had to be myself as a woman and a wife. I am actually missing him. Only God knows how I will feel the day he will make love to me again because I am now tight. I don’t feel really happy about it and it is not in my character to be unfaithful to someone I love especially the man who paid my bride price.
