Do you have better sex after a dry spell?

New research claims there's good and bad news when it comes to dry spells of the sexual variety. According to the journal Biological Psychology, lack of sex can be bad for your blood pressure. (Sad face.) But on a sexier note, a similar World Journal of Urology study found that after three weeks of no sexual activity whatsoever, men experienced more intense orgasms, and because they had elevated testosterone levels, their libido was higher as well.--LA Times

They didn't mention the ladies in the latter study, but have you ever noticed that especially in long-term relationships where the bedroom antics naturally seem to ebb and flow, that sex after a few days of abstinence is always kind of extra awesome? (Or is that just like, what's going on in my house?) Thoughts to share?

    I think you may have something to that theory. But because I'm going through the pause.....it's all a wonder and an amazement when I am horny at all. It's like a gift from God when I am; I am so grateful. But I have noticed in the past that when I haven't had it in a while, including no self love either, it is more intense and better when I finally do get some (whether I give myself some or a partner does). Sometimes I wonder if there's a given allotment of orgasms and I've used up most of mine over the last 45 yrs. And then......can you bank them or get interest on the ones left? Just a thought.

    I agree with the study. After a pause sex is better. Everything about it is intense. It is worth putting it on hold for a while to get the rewards of intense, passionate sex.

    Well....I agree that after a "pause" it is like "wow" why did we even pause at all.Maybe it's all those "no orgasm" pause days- that when you finally do it again that your body is responding with making up for lost time.Then again,sometimes when he or I really don't feel like it/tired/time restraints/quickie and I don't know what happens but one touch and I turn into energizer bunny, there is no stopping me and next thing you know an hour has passed by or even minutes but I've told him so many times in our 14 yrs that it was in the all time top 10..how after 14 years of same partner,same bodies,how one look or touch is like magic when our bodies connect-sorta like putting your tongue on a 9-volt battery except a "good" electrical "charge. Although I also think where I am in my monthly cycle makes a difference for me...sometimes a "pause" makes me less interested and I'm a little sore afterwards so it's just the element of not knowing when the "wow wow wow" time will be next...but since everytime is wow anyway,I never know when it'll happen but knowing it will again,I never "expect it nor plan for it" so for me, sex is never disappointing....just fun fun fun...maybe some night we'll be able to actually fall asleep naked spooning....but damn soon as I feel "it" touching me...I can't help myself...poor guy...lol Ps.last "pause" was 2 whole weeks!!!!very unusual but oh yea we made up for lost time...any females out there who during a pause don't "miss what you aren't having" but when you do again you want it more often for awhile until he says...I need my sleep!Just go to sleep!!?

    Some dry spells like a piece of toast on a stake in the middle of the Sahara being blown to bits...sorry, what were we talking about?

    I say pause or no pause get it when you can from who you want.
