How long can man go without sex

Me and my husband haven't seen in months. Was pregnant and he was not into that and then he started being a prick postpartum and so we didn't. Wonder if that means he's sleeping around or seeking emotional comfort from someone else. Thank you

My husband went 8 months not being in the mood. I went 6 months early in our relationship.

Forever. There are men who are celibate and survive perfectly fine

No one NEEDS sex to survive. It's good for maintaining bonds, and definitely feels good. It can help with mental health and stress levels. But it's never a requirement for anyone, man or woman.

It's been 8 months for my partner and I because I seriously can't relax enough to even think about it.
I think us mums are at demand constant so when it comes to spouses it's hard to meet their needs.
Your other half will understand if he loves you, the time will come!

That’s how I knew he was going to be my husband. We were living together for 1 year and then he decided he wanted to take our religion seriously. So my daughter and I shared a room(from 1st marriage) and he had a room. He still took care of us financially and emotionally. We did everything together except intimacy. Eat, go out, beach days, parent. He still loved and treated me as someone special in his life. For a whole year! That’s how I knew he loved me for me and not for intimacy! We married that next year and it will be 4 years married January 20th, and 6 years together in March. Best man that has ever been in my life. We are now having our first child together! Some men just need more from a relationship than your body! I hope things go in a positive way for you.

I know men who have gone for years. One of my exes, who was a gorgeous 6'6 giant btw, didn't have sex for 6 years before I met him. So...a long time 😂

Testosterone levels are decreasing these days due to the food and chemicals in the water, pesticides and more

Depend on the man, my husband is usually really stressed out if he goes longer than 2 months, but some men can go without sex for years

Sex isn’t a need. If he wants release, he can sort himself out. My husband and I have gone long periods of time without sex. He NEVER sulks or guilts me about it.

Looking for new friends

Hey mamas! I’m a mom starting fresh, and I’m looking for a mom bestie to share this journey with. My friends mostly have older kids, so I’m hoping to connect with someone in a similar stage.

I work a lot, but I love music, spending time outdoors, and just enjoying life’s little adventures. I’d love to meet a mom who’s down to chat, swap stories, maybe do a playdate, coffee, or stroller walk, and just build a real friendship. 💖

If you’re looking for a supportive, fun, and real mom friend, let’s connect! Bonus points if you’re up for music, fresh air, or just laughing over the chaos of motherhood..

For those that are paying attention to what’s going on in the US and the state of the WORLD…(Not enough people are)—How are you all coping?

How are you managing a full time job that is funding genocides—-Seeing our rights being slowly taken away. They already came for our reproductive rights. They’re trying to disenfranchise millions of female voters by passing the Save Act. Mainstream media and social media censoring. Mass civilian surveillance. Poisoned water, food. A health care system that puts a band aid on illness to keep the business going—and coming back home to your kids and pretending like anything about this shit is normal. Oh and our world leaders run the largest human trafficking ring. AND the US is trying to cover it up and refuses to hold anyone accountable. And these are the people in charge. Such commendable beings. I’m pretty anxious. So besides self care. How are you coping? Maybe you can comment on what you do for self care.

Curious…

Hello! Can i ask you mamas what your husband/partner does for a living that allows you to comfortably be a SAHM? We’d like to eventually transition to that as our family grows, but also want the freedom to build the life we want. Also open to hearing if any of you work remote or side gigs to help contribute financially? Much appreciated! 🩵🩵🩵

Contraceptive

Hi looking for advice on what people think is the best form of contraception

I had the pill which I fell pregnant on, the injection which I bled non stop on, the coil which I thought was good until it came out on its own.

I know I don’t want anymore children my little boy is definitely enough.

Also has anyone’s partner had the snip seeking advice on this too as I’ve asked my partner to do it, he didn’t seem very keen😂
