You live in the Philippines, you basically have to smile and say hi to get some from a cute Filipina. At least, it was like that when I was there a decade ago.

Exactly what I wanted to say.Ã‚Â

When my wife was pregnant there were some complications and then dealing with sleep deprivation with a newborn, easily a year without sex. Gaming got us through the stress.

It's not just the norm for single people. Child birth and caring for a baby does the same.

And we're still on the faster 'turn around' side. Kids just over 2 years apart.

The average age gap between a first and second child in the United States is increasing, with a recent study showing an average of 4.2 years apart. Some parents prefer a 2-4 year gap, while others choose to have children closer together or further apart. The Mayo Clinic recommends waiting 18 to 24 months after a live birth before getting pregnant again to minimize health risks

(Do miss the days of unprotected sex lol)

Plus gaming takes your mind off sex. While gaming after sex is great!

I've got you beat! There was exactly 3 minutes between my first child and second child.

It's unhealthy to not have the tubes cleared for a whole year. Your prostrate will thank some refresh ones in a while.

You have a hand, right? Problem solved.

Gaming. A year without sex would probably result in me ending up single.

A year without gaming. I would find other hobbies to do in the mean time.

That doesn't sound like a good deal, 2 kids for one happy ending :p

Do they act like older and younger sibling?

Convenient though, one birthday party :)

Same lmao, my girlfriend would NOT be happy about it and it would definitely cause problems between us.

When I was single I went without sex for 5 years from 2014-2019, but I didn't have to worry about a partner's needs then.

Longest I have gone without gaming was when I injured my wrist in 2011 and couldn't game for three months; that was torture.

I may have missed the intent but "without any kind of sex" would seem to me to preclude 'self service' as well.

on another note, I think that the number of people on this site that are sexually active is probably greater than the number that are not.

In answer to the OP, I would give up gaming. I have gone a couple stretches since age 16 without being active, but I am married again. No sex would be a no go with the wife. Even if not married I think I would still chose sex.... I think ... like some have said it may depend on what was releasing in the year of potential abstinence.
