I've done the week without sex... for probably the past 10 weeks or something. Ya.
So yes I'm ready to go any time now

I've actually never had an intimate relationship with anyone, lasting longer than a few months anyway. I seem to be unlucky, either one of us just loses interest or something happens that we can't continue to date.

And it didn't grow together? Huh.
I was a spinster of 21.

Well considering I'm in a poly relationship sex is not an issue

Old joke. Whenever Lia is away for a while I joke about it growing to together for lack of use. Amazing that you kept the way open for 24 years.

I'd say I like both equally, but affection without sex, would be better IMO than sex without affection.

Well waited until marriage. We dated for 4 years, so it was rough.

I've gone without sex and affection for a number of years.
The longer I go without it the more I see the value in everything else life has to offer.
So if I was forced into one or the other I'd choose sex at the moment.
I'm quite enjoying this smooth sailing through life without the bother of affection.
Although I receive plenty of affection from non-relationship people.
I feel that that's enough to keep me warm.
