Wow, it's been two years since I've hooked up with someone

I can't blame that entirely on the pandemic. I don't even think that I care, though I realize that I probably should.

Part of me thinks that I should make it a priority but most of the sex I've had has not been toe-curling, to say the least.

I'm 41, if that matters. Anyone else in a similar boat?

I am 61 and hooked up today with a hot Latin kid that cruised me at a dollar tree. Being a very hairy daddy type I am a magnet to them . He is 24 with a 3 kids and a frigid overweight wife. Had a lady of Guadalupe tattoo on his calve. Something told me to take a Cialis this morning , He texted me that he is still sore . We are hooking up a gain next week .

Haven't had sex in 4-5 years. I'd be lying if I said I don't sometimes miss the fun and intimacy, but at 29 I feel like I no longer have the motivation to go out of my way for it.

I had a boyfriend until we broke up this summer. Not interested in hookups

by Anonymousreply 9October 19, 2020 12:43 AM

I haven't had sex in a couple months, but it feels like its been a year. And I'm kind of into it!

I stayed with my previous partner wayyyy past the expiration date, simply because he had a tight little bod and the sex was extremely satisfying. After the first six months, his mask started to slip, and the person beneath it was an entitled, lazy, lying loser. I became extremely turned off by his personality and his lifestyle. We were semi-living together so it was tricky, because he had no job and no money (d'oh!). I desperately wanted to break it off but then we'd have sex and I'd think "omg how will I live without this intimacy and touch? And the orgasms??" But he HAD to go. Finally, circumstances forced my hand, and a family member came over and literally kicked him out of my house.

I really admire folks who construct their lives in a thoughtful, deliberate way. The patience and the dedication to self is inspiring. And I'm noticing now that I'm truly, TRULY single, that I don't really miss sex or companionship. It's not been easy but it's unlocking parts of me that I'd been neglecting my whole life. And I'm not walking around dickmatized, I am able to enjoy the nuance of moments like how the fresh air smells, how my coffee tastes, and just quiet moments alone. Walking in the forest. Working on my hobbies. I'm not preoccupied by thinking about that other person, wondering when we are going to be able to see each other. I'm just living in the present moment now.

I'm realizing that I haven't been alone hardly at all in my whole adult life. Even since high school, I've had casual-to-serious relationships almost the entire time, with very little downtime. Being single left me feeling restless, like something was missing. I needed the attention and sex to make me feel complete. I am learning how to out how to nurture myself now. Of course, I still hope that some time in the future I'll find someone that I can share the sensual part of myself with, but I am fine with waiting for years if need be for that to happen.

I'm 53 and my last hookup was from Grindr (yes I know) in June. He was a hot 31 Arab, muscular, great cocksucker, loved poppers and had an ass to die for. I thought we clicked but again, this being Grindr, I was wrong. He ignored me after that first time. I was getting turned off by the online apps to begin with (should have done it sooner). With the second or third wave of the pandemic hitting, I can't see myself meeting anyone for quite a while. I doubt I'll miss it. I can't even remember my last meaningful sexual encounter.

Same. I haven’t had sex since April of 2019 and I’m not bothered by it. Sometimes I start to think I’m asexual. I was so horny in my teens and twenties. Am I wanted to do was go on a date, have a couple of drinks and go back to my place to fuck. Now in my early forties I couldn’t care less. I’d rather use my energy to work out, do some cooking or find a fun home project to get finished. I rarely think about sex the way I used to.

It's not that clear to me whether this is by choice or not?

Since I became sexually active the longest I've ever been without has been a couple of months, post break-up blues-induced, I can't imagine going without for a couple of years. Perhaps you're on the asexual spectrum? If you are, that's cool, and as long as you're happy with it then what's the problem?

If you want sex but you're missing out for whatever reason, you'll need to help us identify the reason if you'd like us to help you. Are you unsuccessful in finding compatible sexual partners? Are you suffering from any medical or psychological issue that might prevent you from hooking up?

I haven't met anyone I wanted to fuck. I go on dating apps and no one seems appealing. I also don't feel attractive enough to just go meet someone and fuck them and in this pandemic, you can't go out really. Sex has to have some build up for me. I want the tension...the meeting of the minds, the build up to the act. I've never understood the hooking up without there being intimacy.

by Anonymousreply 27October 19, 2020 8:44 AM

R27 can't you have that build up online though? Get chatting to someone you click with, get each other going, send sexy photos or have a webcam session - you could get to know them quite well before ever meeting, and really get each other frothing with anticipation before you ever met in person.

R6 I haven’t had sex ever, at 27. I don’t care to seek it, and don’t feel there’s a gaping hole in my soul without it, either. I occasionally feel curious or like I’m missing a cosmic joke, but that’s all.

I come with a history of unfulfilling relationships, and of depression like R5. I also don’t like strangers touching me or being in my personal space (ASD, possibly?), and I’m female with fairly janky menstraul issues, so maybe that’s what’s up.

It’s not uncommon for teens and twenty-somethings nowadays to be virgins, fwiw.

At age 52 my then-partner flat out told me he no longer found me attractive. Since I'm an AWG who owns a mirror, I understood. Luckily we'd never moved in together so that was that. I was convinced I'd spend the rest of my life single. I wasn't despondent, just resigned to it.

Not long after, I decided to drop into a bar. I wasn't trying to drown my sorrows, just get them a little wet. In walked a very handsome young man (38) who flashed me a dazzling smile. I summoned up my courage and went over to talk to him. An hour later I asked him home. Ten years later, he's still here, and I've never been happier.

Does it just get to the point where when you go without for a certain length of time, your desire just dies? Is 'use it or lose it' an actual thing? Don't you end up getting wet dreams constantly?

While jacking off certainly helps gets you through the moments when you're about ready to climb the walls, I do agree with R40 that it's no substitute for sex with another person.

I’m not very sexually active, although I did have sex on the weekend. I’m 29 and my sex drive has really diminished over the years, which I’ve chalked up to watching too much porn and not using my imagination enough, or spending enough time having sex. It’s like I’ve messed with my brain’s idea of what it means to be horny, and replaced my sex drive with a porn drive. I’m also much lazier in bed than I was as a youngster, and can’t be bothered with much other than kissing and fucking. I used to suck and rim guys for hours.

I have had crushes but I never got either of them. I thought entering the gay community would be the beginning of the rest of my life; I would find love, happiness, togetherness, everything, but none of it ever happened.

Sex has been disappointing. I hate bottoming, but I don't want to top. Well, to be more accurate, bottoming has been a painful, tedious,. or boring experience with most of the guys not even knowing what they were doing. Never had a good or great sexual experience. Never had a fun date. HIV/AIDS scared the shit out of me. I could have been out there, at least trying to find love or a decent hook up, but I was too afraid of what would happen to me if I got infected (and people found out). I just stopped trying after a while.

I was almost cute in my 30s; I'm in my 50s, now. The party-that-never-was is over.

It's all disappointing. I don't watch gay films, TV, anymore because watching pretty people live the ideal gay life is depressing. I will never have it; I don't get any joy from watching other people live it.

It doesn't happen for everybody. Some of us just live and die alone. That fabulous sexy gay life we were sold is just romantic fiction.
