¿WHAT'S THE LONGEST YOU'VE GONE WITHOUT SEX?

A while back ‘Project Runway’ mentor and  new
co-host of “The Revolution,” Tim Gunn, dropped jaws everywhere when he revealed that he hasn’t had sex in 29 years….and he’s totally okay with
it.  To me what’s fascinating about this revelation is not the
self induced celibacy; it’s that Gunn admitted exactly how long it’s
been.  

We live in a society where sex and lots of it is
everywhere and very much a part of our lives.  From porn websites and
politicians, to reality shows and advertisements, sex sells and big time. 
So in a world where sex is practically everything, where do you fit in if you
aren’t getting any?

Of course not
everyone is going without sex for 29 years, but I know people who act like
going without it for 2 days is a sign of the apocalypse.  Many people lie
about how active, or not, their sex lives really are, no one truly wants to
admit that more often than not it’s just them in the bed at night…if
that.  For his part Gunn’s decision to refrain from sex was actually a
reasonable one, Gunn claims the decision followed a difficult breakup and is
partly “psychological.” He cites health, and fear of sexually transmitted
diseases such as AIDS.

According to
Gunn:

“Do I
feel like less of a person for it? No!” he said. “I am a perfectly happy,
fulfilled individual.  I am happy to be healthy and alive, quite frankly.”

But let’s face
it, no matter how practical and rational his reason, Gunn is in the minority. 
Not too many people are trying to go 6 months without sex, so 29 years?? 
Yea no.  Most of the time if people go long periods without sex it’s not
totally by choice; they probably just haven’t found anyone they find attractive
enough to give it up to.  I tip my hat to Gunn because I personally went
two years straight without sex in college and let me tell you, there was
nothing fun about that right there.  Nothing.
