How long can a man go without?

27 replies

whattheactualf · 21/08/2015 07:31

My DH has a moderate sex drive. Doesn't need to have sex loads, but enjoys it say 4-5 times a month. He doesn't masturbate, 'cos he's just not that into and not that sexual a person. So what I want to know is- how long can a man physically go without ejaculating? There was a period in our relationship where we didn't have sex for a year and he did actually masturbate once (yes, once!). I think he had a couple of wet dreams in that time. Re. the masturabtion thing, he'd have no reason to hide it from me as it's not taboo and he knows I regularly do.

What before his balls explode?! I don't think it works like that. At least I hope not. Can we use your dp as an experiment? Report back and let us know what happens Grin I reckon a year is pushing it. I reckon he's probably fibbing about strangling his snake too. Once in a year for someone with a moderate sex drive is not a lot.

A lifetime.
It's not like doing a wee. There isn't a reservoir of semen that gets bigger and bigger.

I was taught in biology years ago that in men who don't ejaculate for over two weeks the semen is broken down by the body and expelled in urine.
Don't know if that's true, but can see go a lifetime without!

Ejaculating and semen are different things. Men like me (snipped) do not ejaculate semen. Therefore I have gone 20 years without jetting forth any little Caveman soldiers.

I tend to agree with JonSnow I would be surprised if your DH only practices pipe cleaning once per year. I once read most men fit into the 3-5 times per week category.

I have been told that unless a guy "clears his pipes" on a regular basis, that certain lactic acids can build up inside him, which can cause testicular cancer.

So, you owe it to him to make him discharge on a regular basis. Have you tried BJs?

Hmm is that a joke?

Shock

Just...

No, I can't find the words to respond to that.

RJnomaaaaaargh · 21/08/2015 20:56

It's true about the raised risk of testicular cancer though.

winchester1 · 21/08/2015 20:57

We have gone 12 months twice (baby's - his choice) and he doesn't masturbate often either, small house and open workplace. It's/he is fine he's a grown up if he wanted/needed it more I assume he sort it out himself.

Kleptronic · 21/08/2015 20:59

Er. Open workplace?

winchester1 · 21/08/2015 21:02

As in open plan and mixed gender - if he did it at home I'd know and he obv isn't doing it at work so I figure its not often.

winchester1 · 21/08/2015 21:03

Ok I realize now this sounds weird, but I work with mostly men and well toilets are not sound proof!

SurlyCue · 21/08/2015 21:05

How loud does he wank? Confused

Kleptronic · 21/08/2015 21:08

Ew! The dirty bastards, wanking in work! Mind you I always have a sense of satisfaction if I take a shit on work's time, maybe that's why they do it.

winchester1 · 21/08/2015 21:15

We work long hours but tbh fuck knows what they are thinking other men have to tell them that 1) we can hear and 2) go the fuck else where ffs.

Any how - my point was most men wouldn't I hope - do it at work.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 21/08/2015 21:40

kleptronic I used to wank in work at least a couple of times a week. Grin

Kleptronic · 21/08/2015 21:44

Blimey, did you really? I am aghast I tell you, aghast. Unless you lived in or something.

SnoogyWoo · 21/08/2015 22:16

It's hard to explain and mainly in the mind. If I don't clean the pipes so to speak it just starts to play on my mind after a few days and then becomes a dominant thought. It's obviously an evolutionary thing to help propagate the species.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 22/08/2015 08:16

Nope, I worked in an office and used the executive bathroom.

I'm female btw.

BackToTheCaveman · 22/08/2015 09:41

you owe it to him to make him discharge on a regular basis. Have you tried BJ's

Now that's the response of a real woman, I hope the rest of you ladies are taking note Grin

Kleptronic · 22/08/2015 11:56

Male, female, trans, inter I'm aghast all ways Wally Grin

Executive bathroom eh, was it salubrious with an actual bath and fluffy towels? Somehow these things are fantastical to me!

LuluJakey1 · 23/08/2015 22:58

People masturbate in the toilet at work.

How unlike the homelife of our own Dear Queen.

Oneeyedbloke · 26/08/2015 22:08

I'd say about 4 weeks. I don't usually count the days but there have been times when I'm walking past a shop window and suddenly the ruddy mannequins are giving me the horn, and I think, how long has it been? And it's usually about 4 weeks.

Savagebeauty · 29/08/2015 12:09

I like you more and more wally

vienna1981 · 05/09/2015 20:53

Forty four years and counting so far. Do I win an award ?
