For what reasons have you held off on sex before?

23 comments

1. Just didn’t feel like it.

2. I haven’t found anyone to have sex with.

3. I waited until marriage to have sex. The reason is because of religion, I think God created sex for monogamy and marriage.

   Otherwise, I’ve held off on sex for a few weeks after my kids were born, doctor’s orders.

4. Got fed up with it. For a half a year I was interested more in masturbating than having sex with my wife.

5. Takeout arrived early.

6. Waited for her to sober up

7. I’ve had my swimmers tested a couple times now, they want you to have been abstinent for a few days prior

8. Didn’t think I was getting any, spanked the monkey. Nekminute, missus is on me and I knew I ain’t a young stud no more and can’t perform on rapid repeat 😭

9. My partner and I have been separated for 2 years due to visa issues then covid. I’m Australian so pretty much locked out from going anywhere or anyone coming in. 2nd visa application got approved, her flight booked for mid June!

10. She got drunk as shit, and I had to babysit her drunk ass.

    She puked all over herself, so I had to carry her to the shower, help her take her clothes off, and all the while, she was trying suck me off the whole time.

    After I put her to bed I had to crash on the couch, because she was getting so damned touchy that I just didn’t want to deal with it.

11. I didn’t invest in going after it because I was still in church and had bad self-esteem. Miraculously, there were women in my life back then. I regret this so much.

12. Work stress kept my flag at half mast

13. Blisters

14. Because it’s 10 times hotter to mess with a girl and tease her than to just give her what she wants or expects.

15. My mental wasn’t right

16. Just generally shit at it and didn’t want to disappoint them/think it’s their fault

17. After being rejected by my wife for 6 months. When she finally suggested it, I declined. She did not take it well. It was difficult to do but empowering.

18. Finally 30 years old and my rampant horniness has tapered off significantly

19. She was drunk. For the record, I was definitely into her, and she even suggested I stay over for the night.

    But I liked her in the relationship way, not the drunken one nighter way.

20. She didn’t meet my dick standards, so i get hard for her

21. To see if someone really liked me and didn’t just want sex.

22. I experimented once…. I had this theory that women can withhold sex no problem, but when men do it, the relationship will shatter… The truth of the matter is, that theres a lot of shit we put up with for the sake of having sex, and were often different people when youre no longer trying to achieve the nasty.

23. It’s actually not a choice at this point, I think I know when it’s a bad idea unconsciously and my body just doesn’t get into it. This happens when I can tell girls will get attached too quickly, or when I can tell they want to sleep with me for the wrong reasons. I don’t have sex with anyone who’s clearly trying to get something out of me.
