Reply to: Could you go without sex for a month?

[SpontaneousOrder]

I'm sure I heard that in the old days, when women reached maturity later in life and were married young, it was not infrequent that a woman never had a period - they were already having sex when they became fertile so got pregnant, and then got pregnant again as soon as they had recovered from the previous pregnancy, until their body got tired of the whole thing and gave up.

No idea if it's true.

Infant mortality rates were thrugh the roof (i think north of 50% only a few hundred years ago - could be mistaken). So it wouldn't surprise me.

Just three days in, I was thinking about what I was missing a fair bit. It was like being on a diet and being told you can’t have sugary foods — they become irresistible. As the week dragged on, my frustration built, and by the fifth morning I was distinctly irritable, particularly as I left Judy in bed to take my early-morning shower. I wanted her so much at that moment.
Judy became a lot snappier too...

Where do they find these people? or are they made up? it's like the Big brother contestants who start crying after 3 days because they've never been apart from their other half that long before (Wow... get a life ).

Id think that anyone feeling like that (re the sex) after less than a week has some significant mental health issues / emotional damage.

Ah no I could not.

We're talking about sex with at least one other person in the room. HTH

Yes it was his wife. It might be different now but back then you were asked to abstain for 6 weeks to allow your wife/girlfriend to recover from childbirth.

I just meant that if his wife was given a good bollocking, then that would be a starting point...

If it was his wife, that might explain the pregnancy.

Like sleep

I know of one guy who got a bollocking from the doctor when his young wife fell pregnant 3 weeks after having their first baby.

I didn't mean [only] the physical aspects... but that both parents have more important things on their mind.

it is bad choice of words, the Thread seems to have descended into Decline not abstain.

Ah yes, good point.

Bill's wife hasn't had an orgasm in their 25 years of marriage. So one day Bill decides to go to the doctor to ask for some help the doctor says, 'she could be over heating. Try using a towel.'

So Bill is down the pub that evening and says to his friend John, "you're a big guy, you've got some muscles to you, and I know the women think you're wonderful in bed - can you help me with this." John agrees and they go home to help Bill's wife hopefully, finally, reach the promised land.

So Bill is having sex with his wife, whilst John is wafting the towel, and after 2 and a half hours she still hasn't orgasmed. So John says, 'let me have a go and you waft the towel.'

Low and behold, after 25 years, she has an amazing, earth-shattering orgasm.

And Bill turns to John and says, 'that my friend, is how you waft a bloody towel'.

I thought it was about people deciding to abstain.

I think this is being declined sex not it being uncomfortable and therefore not on the menu.
