Sex: I actually couldnt be bothered 🙈 I went without it for a good few years. Broke the dry spell with a few encounters from here but I've not had any of their cocks in me....I am always to keen to give a bj & sure then its game over. My own fault.

I'm at the stage of being uninspired, even looking at what I consider an attractive profile.

I'm not going to say "what is wrong with me" as I know there is nothing wrong with me: I've been single a good few years, focusing on my kids, my health battles & other stuff in my personal life.

Its been so long since I had proper real meaningful intimacy, I've forgotten what I am missing.

I don't need an influx of offers, thanks though 😅

I went through a couple of dry spells in my life! Exactly what you said, I just couldn’t be arsed for one reason or another! Lack of libido, lack of energy, you name it! I think a lot of people go through that dried up phase at some point!

There’s nothing wrong with you at all

Libido comes and goes to most people

Maybe take a break, as you say concentrate on yourself and family

I get this. Sometimes when we have a dry spell,infact even when I don't at times. What we really want is connection and intimacy. Chemistry that starts the fire . Sadly that can be hard to find and then we think, it's best not to bother as what we found was mediocre at best (and doesn't seem worth the effort).

I went 7 months without, met someone off here and 1st meet was pretty good, 2nd time I actually couldn't wait for him to bugger off. Just aswell I guess because I didn't hear from him again. I'm in no hurry to meet anyone else and tbh get more satisfaction from a toy. Men talk the talk but when it comes down to it they're normally pretty selfish.

Thats why I stopped meeting from here.. the night of passion promised turns into a quick 10 minute shag he cums and thats it, my last meet probably January last year ended up like this its just not worth the bother of getting all ready. Think its a combination of that and life in general thats put me off sex, i dont even get the urge to use a toy... i might be broken haha

Yes know what you mean, it’s been over seven years now since I’ve had sex . What I miss is company the holding hands ,kissing and cuddling .

Probably not the best site to find someone. Was on our time for six months, just had one meet for a coffee. Being a naturist put a lot of women off

It is perfectly normal, I think women go through it more.

Infact my lack of labbido ended my last relationship because he was constantly moaning about it.

I think it's normal, especially on here, it's a long of effort for some mediocre meet.

I can't be arsed with it 90% of the time, there's more to life than sex at the end of the day.

I can't relate to the dry spell (soz) but I completely understand the desire for the intamcy side. Even with NSA encounters the thought of a purely physical session where once it's finished the clothes are on and you're out the door sharpish fills me with dread.

Some want that for various reasons but to me it's too transactional. There's no rule against just chatting, snuggles, spooning, foot rubs or just 'hanging out' even if the end goal is sex and satisfaction. Makes for a far more enjoyable time for all and doesn't have to come with any expectations of feelings, commitment or future plans. And if it does end up that way? Fine. Why should swinging and casual encounters not potentially lead elsewhere, the same as any relationship formed in vanilla life.

To me the key thing has always been having zero expectations, going with the flow and not putting any pressure on either yourself or others. Sometimes I think the longer someone has a dry spell the bigger the pressure they put on themselves to put on some kind of performance, or equally the faster they want to get to that first non solo orgasm in ages. Which isn't good for either party, especially if one is then left hanging.

As others have said nothing wrong with you at all. If that’s what you feel comfortable with then entirely your decision. Others should respect that. Knowing what my wife had on here I expect some don’t though as know can be pain for women. Good luck

But are you open enough to allow the right person to take your breath away ?

Are you approachable in real life not in this fab fantasy world on here ?

Oh course not!

But so many people give off a vibe or body language that can stop a person from even engaging in a chat

I can't be arsed either. When i do nowdays I just hope it's done with quickly. Not even something about myself I'm wanting to change either. My life is pretty hectic and I haven't the time or space to think about sex or even intimacy right now.🤷‍♀️

I don't find it odd at all. Sex has never been a priority for me at any stage in my life and I don't ever remember having sex more than twice in the same week.

I joined here after having zero sexual contact for 10 years and therefore having very little experience in comparison to some.

Even then I've never been like a child in a sweet shop and have been very very fussy and selective in who I meet.

I much prefer to meet people who have limited experience like myself and are therefore exploring things for the very first time even in our 50s or 60s.

I know for some people, life revolves around sex and meeting people for sex but I find that very odd and if I'm honest a little sad at times that they don't have a life beyond their sex life.

To befair your attitude is right (I think you know that). You know there's nothing wrong with you but I'm sure there's plenty on here in a similar position being glad you voiced this and glad they read this.

At the end of the day this site will aways be here and so will people. Just enjoy your life, do the things that fulfill you and bring you joy now. In time you'll find the intimacy and pleasure you seek if you find the desire to seek it. You may not find that desire and thats ok too. Doesn't matter either way as long as you're comfortable in your own skin, listen to what your inner self desires and just do the things you need.

Yep! We put all that effort in and they literally just cum and go.. this last one actually put more effort in than they normally do but ghosted after 2nd meet. Generally though it's all about them and they turn up looking like a tramp when ive had an everything bath and make sure a look and smell nice

I can relate I think. Definitely to the uninspired aspect, it felt that way for a long time for me and it does come back at times.

Adulting, parenting it has been quite a drain at times and crappy things happen that have taken the wind out of my sails several times.

Every now and then someone comes along who inspires me and my libido returns.

I don't think it is strange at all, as others have said I think everyone goes through phases like this at times. Sometimes other life stuff takes priority, sometimes your sex drive is just through the floor because of hormones, mental health, medication etc. We have all been there. I go through phases with this site where I'm less active and more active etc.

If you are happy and use the site in a way that works for you and gives you what you need then you don't need to justify yourself to anyone.

It ain't strange at all.

Connections and chemistry is massively important to me. I have met some truly unforgettable people on here and if we never meet again that would be a real shame. I wouldn't feel the need to have sex with them either. Their company is everything, because frankly they are fucking amazingly brilliant people.

In all honesty, given the chance between being on a promise with a forum hottie/hotties for a weekend in a spa, or sat around a fire, shooting the shit with some of the menfolk, I would be breaking out my road beer emergency kit and insect repellent in a heartbeat.

I think I’m going through similar. Started during the pandemic and I’ve not picked up my libido since. Just so much more to life than aimless casual sex with folk who really, when push comes to shove, couldn’t give two shits about you.

And I don’t want a FWB as to my mind they are just folk who want the boyfriend/girlfriend experience without any of the commitment. Which is fine if that’s what you want, but I don’t.

Just easier to be sexless at the moment.

I find it odd primarily because this is a sex site or non-monogamy, not a friendship or dating site.

I love it when I connect with people that have the same passion sex that I do , and there are a lot of them on here .

I love sex. It’s one of my favourite things after food, and I have a huge life outside of both full of adventures and relationships, very much people person, but sex is a massive part of my life. This is why I liked this website.

I have always been lacking confidence with women, can chat with any woman at pub or bus stop or supermarket, when it's someone I fancy, I'm a nervous wreck, have been engaged , for 6 years in the 90s but she wasn't really sexually inclined, I was always trying, we kissed, foreplay etc, in end broke up, met a woman who was an alcoholic which didn't help me, i Luke a beer but after 3_4 i can pack in ,she was on spirits , and had a boy friend i didn't know about.

Then my mother was ill ,so cared for her 9 years till she passed, been in a flat for 6 years, met a few guys as I got into X dressing, before COVID, now get offers but just don't fancy accomodating people i don't know.

Got hobbies, music, reading, football, meals with brother or a mate, enjoy a wank dressed up, watch cd porn too, been on here for ages and fab guys, sorry this reads like a boring auto biography, just wanted to emphathise with many others on here, David 👍💙

There's a big difference between not being bothered about something and not being interested in it.

I'm very interested in sex but only when I'm having it. Otherwise it rarely crosses my mind.

I've never once had a conversation about sex with someone I wasn't having sexy with.

I joined fab as a hobby, not as a lifestyle choice

Because of what this site is, does it remove a lot of the conventional baggage of conversion? Is the openness here, without the shame and awkwardness, why we are here?

Sometimes, it's just nice to be able to discuss biscuits, books and the latest news event and be able to compliment someone on happening to have nice pants on.

Yeah I get that, most people do join here with the intention of sex, however that moment, that intention doesn't always stay, it'll come and go, people still stay.
