7 days isn’t difficult. Try 7 years 😢

Seven years ago is also when my spouse was dealing with some major depression that spiraled into a trip to the grippy sock hotel. I don’t know if there’s a worst time to ask for sex. But I imagine when you’re bringing someone home from inpatient psychiatric care is high on the list. And after that, months turned into years faster than I expected. Other things happened, like me changing genders, that didn’t help bring back the spark. 🤷‍♀️

My other half went through menopause and chemotherapy for breast cancer at the same damn time.

But in the comic it says 7 days without his crotchety

Damn people are all different indeed. My partner and I haven't had sex in 1.5 months, and neither of us is bothered by it. It's just neither of us cares about sex that much, plus we've been overwhelmed by other stuff in life, including our wedding which happened 3 weeks ago, so we've been joking that we haven't had postmarital sex (inverting the idea that premarital sex is sinful)

Like I literally can't fathom being desperate for sex. And it's not like my libido is low or anything. But I guess being demi/greyasexual helps lol

I mean everyone has different libido. I was a 3x a day guy from 16-28 or so. Now it's 1 time a day or two, won't die if it takes longer.
