Sex Droughts

Christine, how do you define "short term"?

The Ronnie Express.

xp This one lasted two days and was gone.

most weeks I don't really miss it.

Lucky you! I miss my period one week and I start worrying I'm pregnant for sure.

i am basically constantly terrified that i'm pregnant

i have twice dreamt that i was pregnant. it felt (in my dream) like i had to take a shit. (though i did not actually have to shit, fyi.)

curiously, in my dream i was surprised but not upset about the situation

i think i had a pregnancy dream once tbh. i didn't know how to take it.

xp I meant the STN, not my period--that usually lasts 3-4 days (sometimes 1 or 2). And my husband had a vasectomy 15 years before I met him, so I don't have to worry about that.

The pregnancy dream that I talked about on the 77 What's Happening thread is the only one I've had that I can remember.

My sex drive has been almost zero lately. Like, I haven't even gone looking for pr0n to kill time. I think I've only rubbed one out about twice in the last month. I've heard that's a sign of depression, but I don't think that's what this is. My day to day life is typically upbeat and I'm not dwelling on any weighty problems, but sex just seems to be something my mind/body isn't gravitating toward recently.

Guess I'm not fishing for solutions, just reassurance that I'm not broken.

Eh, thats basically how I operate 80% of the time (even in a relationship, which has been an issue).

I'd gladly swap with you - my current state is not usual for me and is turning me into a complete idiot. Who needs this shit.

xp Depression doesn't just manifest itself as being sad; it can also manifest itself as constant irritation and/or unexplained vague physical ailments. Do you have any of those?

Depression can manifest as just being alive!

t-bomb

I think you're alright. I like to think my libido alternates between "healthy", as they say, to nonexistent, both for significant periods of time - I'm reasonably certain that this is differentiated from out-and-out depression, which I think I've dallied with once or twice in the past.

it can also manifest itself as constant irritation and/or unexplained vague physical ailments

Other than just being irritated at the whole world in a general sense, no...neither of these apply.

I'm glad to hear that.

being in a body is so weird, like you have to put other stuff into it to stay alive and then go unconscious for several hours each time the planet goes around and then sometimes you need to mix with other people and there is this whole body of mythology and epic poetry and hbo series built around it

that said i think it is unhealthy to go for a long period of time w/o having sex; it's not conducive to mental health etc. we naturally feed off of the earth, everything we take in as food comes from the earth, but by way of the sun and the moon

but anyway sexual repression is bad imo

like lunar energy figures big in mushrooms

in madagascar they eat foreskins. not a tea brewed from them, like, they just eat them. raw. i think?

Like calamari?

not sure, i saw it on anthony bourdain or andrew zimmer or one of those programs

hold on i will YOUTUBE it for you

getting hungry just thinking about it

why not snack on this, brah

@xpac5896 In '69 I was just out of the Marine Corps and two tours in the Nam. I spent that summer in my VW bus with my dog travelling the California Coast and Oregon trying to come back home. I was lucky enough to be in Big Sur that beautiful September weekend to be part of one of the most magical times, the Big Sur Festival. CSN and later Y helped me find a life again. God I love these guys and their music!!! It will live longer than we will!

did essra mohawk really inspire joni mitchell to write 'woodstock'?

youtube comments are so telling. like, pure democracy would never work and would be the most horrible thing ever. the same ppl that feel compelled to post comments on websites would show up to town meetings and we'd be living in a country where glenn beck gets airtime or something. total balls.

we should model our government after the band republica

xp It's not 'being in a body'. You are your body, whether you like it or not.

If I didn't have sexual repression, I'd have no idea what to do. Spend my time not not having sex?

I feel trapped in my body but thats a whole nother philosophical debate.

Are you thinking more FTM or "I want to turn into a giant gossamer amoeba?"

Uh... neither?

Just sometimes it's a bother to have a body and not just be one's mind, I dunno. Unless thats what you meant by the latter... thing.

my mind is way more of a bother than my body

xp Yes.

christine you need to wake up and realize that we are not our bodies

our bodies are just vessels for this world

the sooner you realize this, the sooner you will discover true happiness

Sorry, I'm happiest as a materialist.

I'm just a series of synapses and chemical processes that will one day expire, just like every other living thing on the planet/in the universe. I realize some people don't like to think this way, to acknowledge how small and meaningless they are, but it actually gives me a lot of comfort.

It doesnt me! It freaks me the fuck out! I dont want to not exist!

This always really bothers me.

I don't personally care whether I exist or not, because if I didn't, then I wouldn't exist and would have no opinions.

existence is overrated imo

I know logically thats how it works, but I always feel like, WAIT I'M NOT DONE DOIN THINGS YET. And then I freak out. Usually if I'm stoned. but anyway.

trayce

embrace your eternal spirit

namaste

It is my goal to, gr80san.

It is only when you stop caring about everything that you can really care about anything.

I don't want to not exist, either, but mostly because I always want to know what's next for me and everyone else in the world. This kept me from killing myself during my lowest points. (That, and knowing that my suicide would always be My Husband's Fault in the eyes of my family and not wanting to put him through that.)

My sex drought continues on--pray for rain.
