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.

Oh, yes. I tend to describe my relationship-life as "feast or famine". I don't tend to start new involvements when I'm depressed or having major life stress, and if I go into a period like that unpartnered, I stay unpartnered until I'm feeling better. When things do pick up is when I'm feeling better enough to start being social again, and actively connecting with people.
