Gonna post this on a new account as I don’t want unneeded stress on my family and friends as they know my real Reddit account

I spent 22 years in prison due to possession and intent to distribute, armed robbery and aggravated assault. Due to this I was never really exposed to chances to get into a relationships though I did have a girlfriend in highschool and we actually planned on saving sex for marriage and then I turned into a damn junky right out of highschool and she left and then I stayed that wav till I was 22. I was young and dumb and stupid at the time and like to think of myself as a different person now though. I’m 47 now and will be on supervised release/probation for many more years so no one really wants to date someone who is going to tie them down. I live a happy life though, I might be 47 years old but I still feel 25 most of the time but recently I was diagnosed with a illness that has the potential to turn terminal, pretty good chance too. I’ve been trying to experience everything I’ve ever wanted to experience or dream of before I die and sex was something that came to mind. Could I live a fulfilled life with out sex? Or at least experiencing it?

I know someone will recommend a escort. I’ve thought of hiring someone, I have, but if I got caught I will be violating parole and if I went back to prison that would be a wasted life and would be a total slap in the face to those who got me as far along as they have today

I guess I’m afraid I’m gonna missing out on something and I’m afraid that my life won’t be fulfilling if I died with out having experienced it.

  1. U will b missing out if your love language is physical intamacy. 4 me i need touch in a relationship an the idea that im making someone else feel good is mind blowing in general

  2. Physically, it’s not THAT different than masturbating. It’s even less different from say, using a warmed up fleshlight with lube.

    The emotional side is an X factor that can be as shallow or deep as the connection of whoever you’re into it with. But that can be just as meaningful without sex.

    For spoilers, I can say “Eh it was cool but not like, opened a portal to the heaven dimension awesome” is the likely experience. You can live a perfectly good life never having gotten around to it. That said, if you make an effort to meet people, you might strike something up with someone in the time you have left.

    The things you did don’t have to define the person you ARE. If you focus on being as kind and caring as you can, you might meet people who are into that.

  3. I think in your circumstances, no. Please keep in mind most commenters will be completely unable to relate and aren’t exposed to the same risks you are when going to a bar or a club.

  4. No. Sex is great, but it is also largely overvalued.
    The nicest part of it is the closeness with another person at the end.
    However that in no way is a prerequisite for having meaningful life or relationship.
    Just look at AroAce ppl as an example.
