How long would you be psychologically comfortable waiting for sex, if you were very much in love with someone?
I ask about psychology, bc I think ultimately this is what it comes down to... anyone can jerk off for physical release. Sex has a psychological impact that going solo does not. As well as the doubt that waiting seems to cause people. Especially when in love.

doubting they are desirable
doubting they are cared for
doubting their partner has an actual drive
doubting compatibility - sex life will ever be good

Im going to leave the “physical need”alone Bc I don’t believe sex is a physical need. Physical contact and affection and release - definitely.. but all this can be accomplished easily without intercourse. If you don’t agree that is fine, there are many other posts dealing with the physical demands of lust. This just is not one of them. 😊.

Likewise, I am not including relationship status.. People can be in love and have desire and feel close whether they are in a relationship or not. Not everyone wants a relationship. To me the more significant the significant thing is being in love, not being in a relationship. But of course the question very easily involves being in a relationship, if you are in love. .. So if you would never have sex - in love or not - outside of a relationship, you can still answer the question all the same. count from when you fell in love. Not from when you met or Bryan dating.

So, psychologically, how long after falling in love , do you think you would be comfortable waiting for sex?

  • Indefinitely for sure.

  • Oh, for as long as it takes, as long as you remain in love. Not that it feels any good - but it feels worse being pushy towards someone you care about - their circumstance could be really bad for any number of reasons (and of course, being in love, you want to make it better for them, not worse)

  • Unless she is a virgin I really am very uncomfortable with being a relationship without sex.
    This is probably because the whole relationship starts to become about sex probably because we aren't getting any. We start focusing too much on it instead of doing other better things as a couple.
    I don't last that long, the maximum I think I could last would be a month, which I doubt very much.

  • Im not sure. I've been thinking about it lately with a girl i know. What if we are in love? What if she wants to have sex? What do i do and how do i proceed? To actually be in love changes a great deal fo a person. You can never look at that person as just a fling or just a girlfriend. To actually be in love and want to express that live and knowing she may want to do the same. You start to understand how making love and that children is the reflection of that love. It means so much more. 😯

  • If you love me, like *ACTUALLY* love me, but won't fuck me?

    Then sex is gonna dry up later on. I don't date prudes, I date sluts who are horny for life.

    • At what point would you leave?

    • Probably long before I fell in love with them. It takes years for me to feel that. 3 months at most, because some people will be away for weeks at a time on different projects, distance, etc.

  • I put 3 months. I think i would start to feel led on after that.

  • 2 years, but she'll have to wait 3 months if she's not a virgin, 6 months if she is. That's my rule. Oral can happen on the first date though

  • as long as possible, wouldn't ever care if it never happens, I'd love her that much

  • I voted A, but would go less than a week

  • I think I could go a few year to marriage that being said I naturally always try to progress to sex I were alone and kissing. So she would need to be the stronger one saying no. The no would t bother me I just not strong enough to say it myself

    • That is really interesting. Thank you for explaining.

    • Yea np. Feel free to ask anything else if u want further input anytime 😊

    • Thanks! 😊

  • Try going without sex for 22 years

  • Until marriage, madam VIVANT!

  • A few months , I feel like I’m going through that right now with an ldr
