What Happens to Your MIND if You DON’T HAVE SEX (for a long time)! A Doctor Explains

I haven't sex for 5 years and am good .i just dont have feeing for anyone. And i dont know anything name stress i realize that am focus more and only intress in my bible

How does it affect one’s looks? Your points make sense btw! Much happier glowing energetic w _ than w out!

Not having sex is very not normal.
Its Understandable in some medical situation/conditions.
Most of these comments clearly reflex regurgitated failed information.
Relationships/ Companion is a give & take situation.
Although not sharing your body with someone is a personal choice. It's clearly signs that someone didn't talk/treat you according to your expectations so you took you ball home & want let no one play with it. In which this effects you just as much as someone else.
Life is not designed to be spent alone. I understand you can spend life without having sex & not be alone but there's a hugh part of life not fulfilled when humans are unable to accomplish the wholeness of a mature healthy relationship.
Effort meets opportunity Opportunity will never meet Effort.
If life was meant to be spent sex less the Excitement, anticipation and all the fulfillment that come with it would not existhese. All feelings that come with it are not made up & happened naturally when adults partake in sex.

It as 23 since I had sex and I have no problem with my thing

Even sex is not for everybody and that is okay

I am staying celebate until I'm married. I'm tired of giving it up to the wrong man. One who doesn't want to get married, and stay committed to one woman. I know I'm worth the wait for a good man. He will treat me with love, kindness, gentlness, and respect. I'm not going to settle again for less than I deserve.

I chose to be celibate and have been as such since 2012. I believed sex was healthy and masturbation as well, I was wrong. I am far more stable, much less stressed and have a freedom that I never experienced before. In the past I fell into the trap of spending so much time and effort into finding a mate, once this was no longer my focus, my world exploded in so many ways. It was a bit difficult at first to change the societal programming however well worth the effort. I'm free from so much pressure and can simply enjoy being myself and doing the things that have meaning to me. I have also noticed that when in a relationship, I tend to become less, more dependent, molded by whomever I am with whether consciously aware at the time or not. I've walked down lust avenue many a time and can tell you all, it's a nowhere train that leaves one feeling less rather than more. We all need more time alone to find out who we truly are before we can even think of offering ourselves to another. If we love ourselves, we won't fall into empty lust traps, we will have the inner strength and respect for ourselves to wait for the one that is worthy of loving the person we know we are.

Dr Jen Caudle
Thank you for your extraordinary and thoughtful contribution in sharing and helping people with your wisdom about “ sex issues “ whether people have sex, abstain, or not for long time. Yes, every single person is different and there is no such thing as one dimension fit all.

I don't have to put up with the drama

Good morning doc blessing always first and foremost sex do play a part in one's life talking about personal experience more while i can't sleep because of the lock of sex even if i stay up reading r watching movies noe sleep bt as soon as sex involve then i slept like a baby jah know star

Does masterbation and real sex have the same effect in relation to the problems you mentioned in this video?

PSA, this video is for people who want to be in a relationship or who don't mind being a relationship or don't mind sex. Or currently in a relationship or in a marriage. this is not for people who want to be single until the day they get old and die.😂 like really nobody gives a crap. good for you all and do y'all. if that's you stay off of this video.


Edit: P.S. every last one of y'all are correct y'all don't need relationships y'all need to go sit on somebody's couch and need to stay in your house and stay away from human interaction as much as possible and look at your four walls all day and go somewhere and get some help in the words of Michael Jordan stop it get some help

Sex is beautiful it's a part of life I'm currently virgin however nothing that's not a material thing or a job or money that I can acquire that's going to to convince me why i should keep living on this planet even the Bible says how beautiful sex is so it really saddens me how people are rejecting this.

As a nurse, I've noticed it has nothing to do with any other body structure or build.
And from a womans perspective, the performance or use of what you have is what is important. I've had below adverage partner that was an above adverage love maker. For some women, it's more about the connection & intimacy experience. Not the actual size of penis. So men please don't sweat it if you're adverage or below. In my opinion.

Hi,
Can it be the reason why I have vaginal dryness?
My gyn. she mentioned that it can help.
She told me " with the right person".
I appreciate the time you give us.

I haven’t had it for years iam just friends with my ex husband

I'm not having sex until I get Married!

I’m not a huge fan of sex mainly because the partners I’ve had weren’t in it for relationships but just for the quick lay. So I can live without sex. However, self satisfaction I cannot live without. Two days without and my anxiety is through the roof. It’s been difficult having an IUD that has lowered my drive and made things more difficult for me but I’m learning to deal with it

Helpful

I am married but I haven’t have sex in 12 years but not by choice my husband is sick and he is impotent and his penis will not work at all. I am stressed moody and most of the time angry . I gain 40 lbs since I didn’t have sex and I think food is giving some kind of relieve also less attractive so less probability of cheating on my spouse .

Probably cutting out caffeine 😢

Stay away from locker room talk

I've been celibate for 16yrs and sex really doesn't cross my mind...is that normal? I used to love sex with my partner but since my breakup i decided to try celibacy and it's lasting a bit longer than i intended. I do think that for me it may be due to my not being in a relationship right now. Im at a loss for stepping out of my celibacy...any suggestions.

Hi Dr Jen

👍🏼

I'm definately in the fine without having sex group. I'm 53 and I have anxiety associated with sexual relationships. I'm sure a lot of the reason can be attributed to sexual abuse situations on and off throughout my life. But. Mostly, I just really crave, to find a partner, that values me, for Other reasons. I'm tired of always being made to feel like the only value I have for men, is what I have in my panties. :-( Haven't found one yet that can tell you one personal positive FACT about me as a person. :-(

I've experienced both sides and it really depends on the relationship. I don't like to feel obligated to have sex and foreplay is a must or it's not happening.

It’s been almost two years since my breakup from my girlfriend and I keep on having withdrawals. It usually happens in the morning when I need to wake up after my alarm goes off and I get the urgency to look at and watch porn. I can’t, I gotta not give in.

Well I wont have sex and self love intimacy is what I decided with memory of the love of my life! The journey is very important to completion because inquiring minds will what to know the discipline & respect of character

It's now 5 years for me since my hubby's passing. I feel that I don't want to betray him😢

Sex is good for the mind, body and soul and sex is healthy❤

I feel to start a relationship with a virgin to be my wife who

I never want to have sex.

Dr.Jen thank you for your advice regarding what happens to your mind if you Don't have sex. I agree with you is very important to have sex.

I’m a 31 year old virgin male and nobody wants me it does make me depressed but I can’t do anything about it nobody wants me

I think some people skipping on sex because they are also insecure about there looks& performance issues &etc not merely because they are saving themselves for marriage or whatever.

Thanks!

Im 27 and noo sex up to now😢

Intimate sex with the one you love is fulfilling and meaningful. A pleasure in paradise, can't bought with money.

For me? I’ve noticed times of anger/rage, just being unhappy & less confident too.

It's been 18 years since I had it

37 years without it.

I am a 40 year old virgin and I am so grateful that I did not ruin myself with modern women.

Any human being who says they are OK without intimacy or sex, are lying. We've been created that way. We become OK with it and fill it with material things, careers, sports, drugs, alcohol, etc.

It improved

I haven’t had sex since I was 40 in 2002. I’m doing extremely well. Women are expensive and high maintenance.

I haven't had sex for 7 years since my relationship ended and i am so anxious and stressed. I love it from so many perspectives, my physical, emotional and mental health all benefit and i just feel incredibly healthy and centred. But finding a partner interested with the main avenue being online dating makes it so difficult. I would note that all the video's about sex issues assume you have a partner.

29 yo and virgin. Maybe this is my fate. I can't say I'm unhappy also.

I haven't had sex in years and I recognize my desire for mental stimulation is greater than the desire for sexual intercourse. Bust'n while imagining is not mentally stimulating for me ‼️
