    When sex isn't on the cards, what do you do to cope?

    It's been what feels like ages since I had sex. I've masturbated regularly but my body is aching for my SO. I want the real thing - him. If you've had to go for a long time without sex what do you do to keep your mind off the frustration you feel?

      Most of the time, I find creative outlets. Sometimes, I get myself involved in researching topics of interest.

      It's hard to not think about it, but thinking about it makes me crazy and ****ed. Thinking about it causes me to sabotage the rest of the relationship. It hasn't been ages, but two-and-a-half weeks feels like ages to me. The longer I have to wait, the more I think about it. I feel like the cat, sitting at the back door, waiting for someone to let me in. I'd be better off to go chase mice and take a nap on the porch rail than to sit there waiting and hoping.

        Ever since I've had sex for the first time, more than 3 decades ago, I've never had to go without it for longer than a little less than two months. It happens when I'm on my 7 weeks vacation trips alone. Then, I'm so busy visiting new places, diving and snorkeling, making new friends, I can cope with just masturbation in the evenings.

        If I had to go without sex for longer, I'm sure sports would help, as well as my many hobbies.

          Really depends on the situation. But at mid day things usually goes it's way, with everything that needs to be done. In the evening it might lead to playing games. Watching porn and masturbate.

                It's hard to think about anything but sex when that's what your body really wants! I sometimes will catch up on the DVR, or look through Facebook to pass the time. I also especially like to read, but this still doesn't fill the void of sex.

                  I usually have to resort to watching porn and masturbate myself.

                    Like they say Brenda, if you have the urges you need to take care of them correct. : - )
                    When out driving always turn left. Then, should you become lost, you can find your way home by reversing the procedure and always turning right.
