Question that's been on my mind lately

[firecat]

Have there been periods of your life when you had no satisfying romantic/sexual relationships, or fewer than you wanted to have (if you're poly)?

How many such "dry" periods have you had in your life?

How long did each of them last?

Was anything in particular going on with you at the time that contributed to the circumstance, as far as you can tell? (Possibilities I can think of include being sick, being busy, moving to an uncongenial location, being socially inexperienced, experiencing a breakup, becoming more picky...etc.)

If this period ended, what circumstances contributed to its ending?

I'll say more about why I am asking this in a future entry.

I had a three year "dry spell" after my marriage broke up -- well, two years, ten-and-a-half months, but the marriage broke up on Valentine's Day, and the third VD thereafter was the next one that was wonderful.

I also had an extended "dry spell" as a teenager, before I met... ironically enough, before I met the person I married.
