Here's something new for women who love to deprive themselves: Why not sign up for the 30-Day No Casual Sex Challenge? The idea sprang from a blog post that weighed the age-old question of whether women can truly enjoy sex with no strings attached, and culminated with the question "How about a self-imposed no-casual-sex challenge just for fun?" While we agree that sex can be healthy or destructive depending on the reasons you engage in it, does a 30-day sex strike really sound like fun to anyone?
Sure, if you have sex to build up your self-esteem or so others will like you more, then a nookie hiatus will probably do you some good. And there's something to be said for playing a little hard-to-get with potential partners. But what about those who just enjoy an invigorating roll in the hay with no strings attached?
Would giving up casual sex for a month improve your life in any way?

Ummm, I would be happy if I could get some casual sex within 30 days. Or 90 days. Or six months.

i've gone without sex for 18 years...19 in may. and theres many chances for me, in such i could lose it very quick, but its not gonna happen. people are too obsessed with sex, and its not a good thing, its not 'healthy' unless you're married..then its a pure thing. its ridiculous how people can make such a good thing so obscene and disgusting.

One shouldn't claim they have been abstinent for 18 years when they are only 18... just that they are. Aside from the fast I am watching an episode of Private Practice right now and the 12 year old girl is pregnant, and I just read a story about how a 13 year old boy is NOT the father of a 15 year old girl's daughter.... That is all.
So, this being said... I do think it is possible to abstain from sex for 30 days, but I do not think that that time will be what makes someone feel better about themselves. It is either not doing it or waiting for someone that will... if it is going to work in the first place to abstain.

I am 58, a good man, nice looking to many women, and a professional. I have lost two wives to cancer, one a year ago. I have had a few opportunities to have sex with a few unattractive women which is unappealing but I find that most women near my age aren't interested in sex, play friends first or I am just not the right player. For people my age, or people who are very shy, perhaps handicapped in some way, just starting out, etc. all should have an opportunity to at least try to enjoy sex with legal prostitution. It should be heavily regulated, taxed, and not considered an awful occupation or activity.

I do it all the time and not even by choice. You imply a choice where none is given. Perhaps I am not your audience. The sexually privileged are your audience. Privileged people never give up anything, they indulge.
