I (24M) will be far away from my gf (24F) for a lot of time. While we were together, we had a very active sex life. Now that we will be apart, I’m worried on how to manage my sex urges.
She is not too much into sexting. I’ve brought up the idea, but hadn’t had much success as she doesn’t like dirty talking or sending pictures.
I don’t want to be obsessively masturbating (I had addiction issues when I was younger) and cheating or a non-monogamous relationship is out of the question.
I still occasionally watch porn (when we have been apart or have high sex drive and are alone) but I am trying to find alternatives. I would prefer if they don’t have a visual stimulus or are too intense. I would want to loose sensitivity for actual sex for when we get back together.
Has anyone else gone through something similar? How did you manage it?
I’m open to any suggestions!
