I didn't answer the poll, this last year has been a long dry spell!
Never in my life since first having sex at 15 have I spent more than maybe a few weeks without ( except just before divorce. 4 months without - that sucked!) But this year nothing since early May, really early like the 4th!
So since I haven't found anyone interesting to share my time with, my impression of need has been very changed. As a result I am cranky and people tell me I have a "don't bother me" aura.
Guess I really need to get this handled.. lol pun intended!
...and no masturbation is SO not the same.
