An Inside Look Of What It's Like Not Having Sex For a Year
Dailymail-UK

Prologue-

Before I begin, I would like to say that if you are uncomfortable reading or talking about sex, do not continue reading this article. I am a very open book and I tell it like it is. I have no shame in speaking about the whereabouts of my sex life or about the topic in general.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are like me, you’d know that sex drives your very being. It motivates you and makes you feel alive. You feel and use every one of your 5 senses and the invigoration cannot be stopped. In my opinion, no matter how shitty your day, week, month or year is going, having sex makes it hundreds of times better…especially if it’s good. Your body needs the stimulation and sex is known to be very healthy for you. But what happens to you when you don’t have sex for a long period of time??

Well my friends, I am very pleased to talk about my experience with you.

I am sad to say that exactly a year ago to this very date (11/27/16), was the last time I had sex. Yes, I know it’s pretty pathetic but it happens. Also, I know that I have gone 14 years of my life without having sex before, but I was a child so those years don’t even count in my opinion. Not having sex for that long really changes you, especially if you were so used to doing the act at least twice a month. A large factor that contributed to this drought was the fact that also on this day a year ago was the day my son was conceived…Woohoo! SO, for 9 long months I was alone and pregnant and the rest of the year I was just plain ol’ alone.

Over this year, I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned more about myself in this year alone than I have in the past 3 years. I learned how to be independent, I figured out how to give myself an orgasm in less than 10 minutes, I learned how to be alone and accept it. Now while all of those are positive factors to the “dry spell” there are the big and bad ones. Throughout the course of the year, I found myself to be depressive and very melancholic. The thought of being alone and having no one to hold me tore me up inside. I was moody and my temper became a short fuse and it wasn’t just my radical hormones. I realized it all wasn’t just a part of my pregnancy about 2 months ago when I found myself freaking out and getting pissed off at everything. Another negative side to the year without rain is the simple fact that I feel unattractive. Every guy that has come (sort of ) my way, always ends up not working out. I know it’s not because of my looks or my body because I know very well I look damn near perfect for a woman who just had a baby 3 months ago. I know it’s not my personality. I honestly think it’s just my crappy luck driving me in circles.

Now I know you might be thinking now that I might be some nymphomaniac and who knows maybe there is a slight chance that I could be. You might tell me to get over it or get a better vibrator but I don’t think you really understand. It’s an empty feeling. I desire to sit atop someone and make them feel like the king of the world while I feel like their queen. I want to feel the heat off of another’s body and have their every notion affect me in a way that I cannot even explain. I want to feel a belonging to someone and bask in their arms after perpetual bliss. I just need to feel worthy of something like that again. I just want to feel.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
