ANSWERS: 90
-
90 seconds or 90 years, it all depends on the couple.
-
Indefinitely, if that's what both parties involved want.
-
Depends on the relationship. For me, once I've actually committed to a relationship... Not long =P
-
I would wait for the rest of my life if I really loved her.
-
I dated a girl for like a year and a half without having sex with her. She didn't believe in pre marital sex. When we broke up it wasn't because I couldn't have sex with her. So I imagine as long as someone wants to.
-
i would have to say if you already have sex on a daily or weekly basis and then you both decide to stop... you both will prolly sttart to fight a lot more. ive seen it happen.
-
That depends on how strong the man's right hand is.
-
I know a couple who hasn't had sex in over 6 years and another couple for over 8 years. They are in their late 30's and they just live together ( the love is gone ) so I don't know how much longer it will go on.
-
Not long at all with me, he will either put out or get out, he needs to take his pick.
-
Forever...potentially
-
I know that me and my boyfriend have waited two years. And im waiting till im 18. I know that if its true love, they will wait if they want to.
-
If you're truly in love lack of sex shouldn't matter! How often that actually is the case....now that's another story!
-
depends on the age really. when your younger your thoughts are magical about it, when you get older you know the its just sex question is, is it good. When you used to having it it sucks to go without it but if you never had it before then hell all it is, is status.
-
As long as both people are on the same page about it.
-
It depends on the people.
-
It can last until you two actually get married if you two can control your horniness. ;-)
-
Love, marriage and commitment are about so much more than just having sex with someone. If they are both in agreement or there are circumstances, they could be very happy and live like that forever, especially as they age and have other interests. What if one of a very close dear couple were to have a disability? Does that mean you give up your commitment just because there is no sex together? Does that mean you just throw away all the feelings you've had, the intimacies you've shared? Love grows and changes and becomes many thing throughout your life together. Relationships are about so much more than sex. Sure sex is wonderful but people are more important.

28 DAYS
-
this is mine and my s/o's 7th month apart and without sex. you can go as long as your willing to for that person
-
Almost 17 years (son's birthday is next week yo...).
-
Good question! I worry about this all of the time as I am not the type of girl to put out right away. It seems like every guy I date expects sex right off the bat and loses interest when they realize I'm not easy. I guess the answer is that if you find that right one they will probably wait... but these days it seems men aren't all that patient!
-
If you make it past the first date, well, never can tell...
-
1 MONTH MAX
-
until you do it once... once that happens you can not go back. talk with him about it work it out between the 2 of you. if you are too embaressed to even talk about it then you are not ready for sex. if it turns into a fight then you are not ready for sex. if you come to an understanding of eachother then you MIGHT be ready.
-
A long time. =)
-
Depends on the persons..
-
it depends on the people.
-
Forever.
-
It all depends on how long you can go without? You're a better man than me if longer than a few dates. You're just trying to connect to the woman in all ways you can...not have a baby on day one.
-
If you both feel the same way about no sex, it will last, if you don`t/someone`s going to split...or cheat!
-
It depends on them.How they take sex in a erlationship and what they think about having sex.
-
one month
-
depends on the couple... for me about 2 months... but I like sex a lot, that probably comes into play a lot!!
-
It depends on how committed to the relationship the couple are, how long they have been together, what the reason for the lack of sex is, etc. I think it can last if both parties want it to. There are other ways of relieving sexual tension as well. Get a toy if you really love the person!
-
As long as you want.
-
There is no relationship without sex.
-
Indefinitely...but it largely depends on the participants and whether they both agree.
-
i think, with the right s/o, it could last forever :)
-
It could last as long the couple wanted it to last.
-
It depends on the commitment of the two people involved. For some it's quite a few years and for others it's just a few days. If it's something that both you and your partner are ready for it will happen.
-
depends on the ppl! Some married couples dont have sex at all.
-
It depends on the reasons and the people. My girlfriend and I haven't had sex for... well a while. We live together but this year has been horrific. My father died unexpectedly. My mum had a heart attack. I lost my job cos work were bastards about taking time off to deal with the death. And now my girlfriend has a neurological condition which could take some time to clear up. But we love each other, and we're there for each other. We support each other and we make each other laugh at times when you feel like you can't laugh. Yes, the sex has taken a hiatus as I haven't been emotionally able to want sex, and she's unwell now. But because the relationship is about more than sex, we haven't suffered for it. When the time is right, the sex will return to compliment the relationship, not to make the relationship.
-
Have you had it already. if u have i really dont think so. its a bond only too share and its a way of being as close as possible with each other. its holds you together because its not like kissing which u could do with any one. its special. its a way of showing each other your still close and u will go that extra mile for them. after wards you both satisfied and just love each other for it becaus you no u made them feel good and u feel good and vise versa. if you havent had it yet then yes it can because u havent felt that feeling of being that close to a person. if you have been together over a year i would say its a great next step if you know u love each other, it pulls u much closer together but yes it can last with out it. waiting together also brings you closer.
-
Forever if the relationship isn't based on sex.
-
If both sides are ok with it the relationship can go on until one of the members dies.
-
well in a serious relationship,,, sex is important but not d integral part. sex does reinforce d relationship but relationship cant just b based on dat parameter... dre's much more to it.... just think in marriages where d woman reaches menopause, does dat mean dat d lack of sex causes d old guy 2 move apart... nah.....it all depends on how close d realtionship is
-
until they are both ready i lasted 8 months
-
Till both the partners have another special attachment between them like travel,spirituality or some other which does not necessarily have to be sexually oriented.
-
If your married, until you die. I have been in both sexual and non-sexual relationships. Both are fulfilling, but sex is not as important as people make it out to be. If you enjoy being with the person, and they feel the same - having sex should not be an issue or have a deadline. Either it will happen or it wont. TM
-
about 12 mins.
-
As long as both parties agree to it. Sex does make may people grow stronger in my mind. You make yourself happy first, then others add to it, with or without sex. Ask the people who are paralyzed and cant have sex....they may still have a love for life normal people may never realize all whilst NOT having sex!!
-
I didn't have sex with my ex-bf for 3-4 years and we lasted a long time with out doing anything. It just depends on if the person your with respects who you are. And doesn't rush you into anything you dont want to do.
-
As long as you want it to. a healthy one doesn't need sex. It's fun and all, but not necessary.
-
Where there is love without sex, there is sex without love. Sex is natural and without it you have friendship, not a relationship. And yes, it is wise to develop your friendship before having sex. Ideally, you should wait to have sex until both people are strongly in love and committed to each other. This could happen in a few days or several months. Waiting years is fine if you're under 20.
-
not long I'm not a teenager anymore!!!
-
When you're in a deep relationship and the topic of sex comes up often, first off- it has to be a mutual decision. If one person is pushing it more than they should, the other is likely to be unhappy. And second, one of two things can happen afterwards- one, it will bring you closer. Two- it will drive a wall between you and your significant other. I've been in a relationship with the love of my life for almost six months now, and we still haven't had sex. There is nothing wrong with waiting, just make sure that if you don't, you understand the responsibilities and consequences. Good luck, bud.

8"

Not very long, sex is an expression of love. Sex is part of most adult relationships, and is an important part of bonding.
-
A lifetime.. I never had sex with my dad.. I don't plan on starting either..He's 83..
-
depends ..if its true love then it can last forever.... sometimes a mystery too works as a magic... a person will be more attracted to a person before sex as he is in a still in mystery to explore his body.. sometimes imagination is love ...with sex a person becomes open box..and few people are in love with the curiosity of a closed box...
-
Very very long time. Because it's a soul and heart connection, and not exactly penis and vagina connection.
-
as long as it needs to if all other needs are met. Yes, eventually it has to be there, but should the right relationship be there without sex, I'd suspect years
-
forever
-
as long as the two people are willing to control themselves.
-
As long as the two people stay committed to each other.
-
A sexless relationship can last for a long time, even years, but it will not be of the same quality. Without sex, you're really just friends who may or may not live together and share expenses. While you may still have a satisfying friendship, your level of affection and attachment to the person will probably cool, because sex is a bonding experience. In fact, when people have sex, their bodies release oxytocin, a hormone implicated in bonding. If at all possible, do not wait too long to have sex with someone, whether it's for the first time or for the billionth. Sharing physical intimacy with someone can be one of the greatest ways to demonstrate your trust in your partner.
-
We could wait till about 4 years. Then we got marreid and we have sex regularly since then.
-
We have asked a few people in the street to answer this question see video below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb1L-p8_JQE
-
A lifetime.
-
That strickly up to the people.
-
dear sexyrabbit, exactly how long have i been answering this question? come on over quick before its too late!!! oh, never mind.
-
Not too long. Sex is a fundamental part of a relationship.
-
about as long as it can last with sex. It can fail just as easily with sex every single day
-
A relationship may last a long time without sex but happily ? Its intimate and bonding. Without it one of the two may well feel unloved and resentful. This can override all the closeness, experiences and togetherness you will have felt. It does beg the question why not? People with disabilities can have a fulfilling sexual life. Depriving someone who you supposedly respect and love of such a basic expression of that love is hardly loving !
-
At the beginning, like before you two have sex for the first time, a long time. But, once you've started having sex, I don't think that it's really desirable to go without for long periods of time. HOWEVER, I think that it is good to wait a while in the beginning to make sure you are with the right person.
-
There is no time limit. Sex can happen in the early stages or it might not happen for years. It's dependent on the two people involved.
-
A life long, think of the socalled "platonic love". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_love
-
forever
-
i have stayed for 6 years now without sex (penetration) its really difficult but i reaspect and love her thats why am still there for her although i have had something with someone else 3 years ago.since then am not having any. its difficult but ull consider if you really love her.
-
I think sex is fundamental. but some folks go without it a lifetime. I like to have it occasionally.
-
For however long you want it to last. Sex is not everything in a relationship. It is only a small part. Just being there for one another, loving each other, being loyal, and honest are what mean the most. Sex is something to look forward to when it does become the appropriate time, and when you feel mature enough to have sex.
-
Without sex period a relationship can last as long as the couple allows it to, but once sex is introduced in a relationship, whether good or bad, things change drastically. Things may become routine, and you may lose your creative side.
-
If you are talking about a romantic relationship..it will last as long as both parties want it to. Not all relationships are sexual.
-
We been together since 20 years now, half of the years we spent keep arguing each others, blaming each others, staying out of sight each others, seperated few months and years each others, that's the way we stayed out of sex. I don't know about him(he goes to work morning and comes home late, may be he's getting out there from some sluts or prostitutes( that's why, many times he got infect STD's from them).
-
for me it lasts every six months to a year because he comes visits me then..:)
-
Yeah
-
not very long. a romantic relationship requires expressing your love (sex). but i guess it depends on the couple.
-
depends on what the relationship is based on....
-
Depends on who the relation is with! The last almost 15 years have gone just fine lol
-
I would say ummmmmmmmmmmmmm............ummmmmmmmmmmmmm 5 minutes.
