Let us put it this way. There are two types of people – the sexually active and the boring. Oops, sorry. Now if you are guessing that sexually active people are those who keep a sexual encounter frequency of at least one sexcapade each day, think again. While many people have raging hormones, not all of them are able to do their wishes. I mean not all of sexually preoccupied men and women experience sexual contact.
We have unlucky folks too. Perhaps they do not have lovers or have taken the vow of celibacy for some reason we cannot know. Perhaps they are afraid to contract STI. That is reasonable.
They release their urges in other things or activities. According to a survey about a quarter of people who cannot have sex divert their energies through exercise. However, we have found out a lot more peculiar ways in which men and women deal with the zero sex ordeal.
When Lovehoney made a survey about this issue, we were taken aback by some of the answers. Without sex lots of people would rather spend a time with a book or a magazine. Yes, they read. I just wanted to ask. What did they read? If it were Kama Sutra or some erotic novel, I would understand.
Some would dance actually. Well, dancing diverts your energy to a different physical activity. Some people say they feel less horny after dancing.
Eating chocolate is a diversion for some. But there are funny ways people spend their time when they cannot have sex. They fish, ring the bell, play ukulele, or take hard drugs. We do not encourage the last.
We are into understanding here that people only need to be preoccupied with something else to free their thoughts of sexual desires. Sometimes the sexual urges can be so overwhelming that you may start doing crazy things. For instance, there are employees who were caught masturbating in their desks. Didn’t they know there were cameras around the office?
Somebody spend too long a time inside the toilet. Five minutes you spend for peeing is all right. Fifteen minutes is all right if you were fixing yourself. Ladies could spend longer time.
Some people who have not had sex for a long time resort to voyeurism. They deal with their urges by watching other people in their private moments.
Here at Lovehoney we are not in the position to tell what is wrong and what is right about this matter. Though we advise people to seek counseling or professional help if their lack of sexual activity is eating into them.
But for those who enjoy masturbation, using sex toys may be the answer to their boring everyday activity. For women, using vibrators may be recommended, and for men, masturbators will do the JOB.
