How long can you go without sex before you start feeling depressed, angry, weak, or any other negative emotion?

Question

You get depressed because you let your mind and thoughts go craving for sth you had a while ago and want it now.

You can go on for ages just masturbating, or even not having any sort of sexual acts...

Example:

I lost my virginity shortly after my 11 or 12 birthday. First big love, she was same age.

So I didn't care about sex and wasn't missing anything until we both discovered it can acctually be fun... So we did it when we could (new experience).

Part 2:

My male friends between 16-23:

Noone wanted to be the one not having sex lately or whatever... and the one telling the truth:" I didn't have sex the past months or years..."

The others reply:" OMG dude, I couldnt imagine a week without fucking a girl real good, and make her cum, etc etc...

Blah blah blah..

But acctually hardly any of us had constant sex, much less each proclaimed ^^.

And the ones who had sex often didn't really talk about it or were in an relationship.

My retrospectiv view age 23-35:

I could have had much more sex than acctually had. doesn't matter NOW.

I dont jerk off each day like I used to do when I was teen. Sex is not important until it happens to me, or I engage because I feel attracted to someone.

Yeah there are moments I get triggered: Sexy girls, images, thoughts, fantasies whatever resulting in:" I want sex so badly now"

So either I choose to make this a problem (put effort in getting what I want) or jerk off and DONE, or just dont fucking care about it.

Conclusion for me: I get depressed when im in an relationship with unequal sex drive.

And that will have reasons you can either solve or find someone you meets your expectations... blah blah

I am going through this now , Why I been searching for a girl to change this for me , yes I want sex but I also want a connection , I can’t just have sex with a girl I need more than that , so yes I been sad and depressed and frustrated when it hits me at times., I can’t see myself ever paying for sex and it seems like every girl I meet online wants money off of me join my premium or pay for a sexual massage , that does nothing for me cuz it’s just about money no real connection it’s like this world turned into accepting prostitution like it’s normal , so I guess I am going to be sad and depressed for a very long time , times have changed during
The time I was married , entering the dating world has been a big shock to me , it’s like what the fuck happened to people, Then I say Social Media

Dude, i haven't had sex in almost 3 months and i'm so fucking frustrated and annoyed at every little thing. I legit feel bad for incel type guys who can't get sex, and although i still think they're lames i get what they feel. But the difference is i can have sex EASILY! I'm just trying to get with my crush and i don't want to be sleeping around when i make a move. But yea it sucks.

I'm still a virgin, but hopefully not for much longer. I feel the urge to masturbate 3 or 4 times a day

Used to be days. After years without plus getting older... there’s an absence of joy, but I manage not to be depressed and enjoy the parts of my life that are good.

Apope16 · Answer

So before a date with a girl I didn't masturbate or have sex for three days. I'm a delivery driver and I was eye fucking every girl walking around. Even driving around alone I was slowly dry humping the air. Then I masturbated on the 4th day and the cum shot out so far and so much... but if you are only talking about sex. I have porn and my hand so I'm all good forever. I dont need a woman. I do need a woman for the emotional high of orgasm.

Been going without for nearly 2 years now and I still haven't reached a point where it bothers me in the slightest

It should not be relevant to the negative feelings mentioned. If you are feeling these things due to a lack of sex, there may be other underlying factors for why one might need sex to stave off said emotions.
