She's telling the truth. One of my friends says shes went 6 years without sex(after the birth of her youngest daughter), another friend said, she's had periods of 2 years and 4 years without sex, during singledom. One of my friends it's been three years since she's had sex. The funny thing is she's a sex consultant and intimacy coach on the side--despite being celibate for as long as she has. She masturbates everyday with the toys she sells and has an orgasm everyday. I'm actually going to her sextoy party this weekend. Look she says she can make herself orgasm in 3 minutes, so she doesn't necessarily miss sex, she misses the intimacy of it, but it isn't dire since she masturbates everyday.
I've had droughts as well. And I'll say for all of us it's by choice. I used to be on that "I'm not having sex without being in a relationship with a man I care about" so when I wasn't in relationships, I wasn't fukking. What made this suck, is that the reason I wasn't in relationships was because I wasn't ready to be in one during that time period-- so even though I wanted sex, I didn't want a relationship, so I had to stick by my values.
It's actually more common than yall think for women to go through by choice droughts. It isn't as huge of a deal for us, as yall think, because a lot of times sex isn't our hugest priority.
