I have to stay away from husband about a month traveling overseas. We love and trust each other. He is 40ish yrs old. I'm very much worried. Any ideas can he (mens) live without sex for this long ?

In a word: Yes.
Not only can he physically live that long without sex, but he should be able to do it without much in the way of physical or mental discomfort ... unless his drive is particularly high. Worst case scenario should be him masturbating during this time, but as long as you don't have a problem with that, then you shouldn't have a problem.<center><i>Nature gives us shapeless shapes,<br>Clouds and waves and flame,<br>But human expectation is that love remains the same,<br>And when it doesn’t, we point our fingers and blame.</i><br><a href="http://www.womens-health.com/boards/register.php">Register</a>|<a href="http://www.womens-health.com/boards/members/little.html">Contact Admin</a>|<a href="mailto:support*womens-health.com?subject=Forum Contact">Email Admin</a></center> -
Thanks for a quick reply. To be honest I feel bad if he has to satisfy himself by masturbating. We all women knows how easily men can loose their control. Just worried too much. BTW.. His drive isn't that high.Comment

I don't think you should feel bad that he has to satisfy himself - after all, you can't control needing to be away from him for a month. Some married couples are away from each other for months or even years without incidence of infidelity on either side, so don't be worried.
As far as men easily losing control, I don't believe that for a moment. That's a myth. An individual man (or an individual woman) makes the decision to be unfaithful based on their personality and attitude - it's not controlled by their gender.<center><i>Nature gives us shapeless shapes,<br>Clouds and waves and flame,<br>But human expectation is that love remains the same,<br>And when it doesn’t, we point our fingers and blame.</i><br><a href="http://www.womens-health.com/boards/register.php">Register</a>|<a href="http://www.womens-health.com/boards/members/little.html">Contact Admin</a>|<a href="mailto:support*womens-health.com?subject=Forum Contact">Email Admin</a></center>Comment

We can live without sex for a month. I've done it and my sex-drive is high. One month-long trip shouldn't drive him into another woman's arms. Don't worry.
It will help if you stay in contact with him as much as possible. Let him know how much you miss him and desire to be with him."Those sowing seed with tears
Will reap with a joyful shout." - Psalm 126Comment

Do you think you will cheat while he is away? It's the same for him. Cheating has nothing to do with gender and a month separation. Cheaters will cheat regardless of the situation and those faithful will stay so regardless of the situation. This will be the best time to try different things like phone sex, etc.Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster (sung by Janis Joplin)Comment
