    I think marriage gets a bad press in boards, to be honest.

    i've done so, but would prefer not!
    hypothetically speaking though, as long as i'm still allowed, eh, entertain myself, i'd survive ;)

    Currently doing so, it's not that bad, then again it could just be down to not remembering all that well what it was like at this point.:o
    Life is easier when you don't remember it too well.

    Is it a bad sign if you have to look up the word 'sex' in the dictionary?

    On the single wagon....no bother.

    In a relationship? I think that could get ugly.

    single yes, relationship no

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Exact-a-mondo.

    A relationship without sexual intimacy is a very different prospect to living a single life untouched.

    I could easily exist without sexual intimacy in both scenarios, but would be saddened and confused if it were to happen in a relationship.

    I would reckon just general sexy time being had with another person. I reckon the other person is the crux of the thing.

    I could, but I'm not sure life would really be worth living then!

    Like Wibbs said, if I was single it'd be okay, but not if I was in a relationship.

    Well, as Kold said the other day on an After Hours thread, I'm rather libidinous (paraphrasing - he put it in a slightly more colourful way :)).

    I've been a very sexual person since the age of about 22/23 but since I turned 30, good god... it's like a whole new world of horniness has opened up! :D

    The question's slightly open-ended alright? I mean for how long are we talking? Life? No way! A couple of months? Easy. A year or two? Could and have done (but rather not!)

    well to be truthful I can't see myself committing suicide just because I wasn't getting any, so I think my answer would have to be, yes I could.

    I suppose I could survive the rest of my life without sex*... so long as I could freeze some sperm in order to pass my genes on to the next generation.


    * I'd really rather not though.

    Once I have fluids, food, shelter, warmth, clothing and good general health, I can survive! :D

    In relation to sex, haven't had any since last break-up. Don't miss it at all to be honest. Must have been doing it wrong. :pac:

    Well lack of it wouldn't kill me, so I suppose I could, buuuuuuttt it would depend on if it was just no penetrative sex, or if nothing sexual or intimate was allowed at all.

    When in a relationship I don't think I could, and that's especially more true when I was younger.

    Otherwise, when single it's less of a problem.

    Everybody can live without sex when they have no choice in the matter. Though someone will say one always has a choice. Not true though.

    Live without sex: Yes, if I had to but I'd obviously rather not.

    Live without love, affection and cuddles: No way.
