Has anyone seen this movie? For those of you that have not, it is about a guy that vows not to have sex (of any kind) for 40 days. He takes the vow in an effort to simplify his relationships and out of heartbreak that his former girlfriend is now engaged.
 
Of course, when people find out about it they start placing bets on which day he will cave on and female coworkers try to get him to cave. It's a cute movie but I just can't figure out what is so difficult about it.... 40 days is not exactly that long...
 
It would be a walk in the park for me....Could you do it?

    I agree with you.....I could do it! I could go more than 40 days, not that I'd want to but I could! It was a cute movie though!!
  • mirrorimage said on Jul 14, 2007....
    my favorite part of the whole movie is after the flower scene when he said "No don't go to sleep. We should talk about something....like STICKERS!! Do you like stickers??" lol... it just makes me laugh.

    Sadly, as I recently revealed in one of my posts, I've gone A LOT longer than 40 days. It's not a happy place to be. But it can definitely be done. I haven't seen this movie, but I imagine if you had someone constantly enticing you and offering you sex, and you couldn't have it, it would be much harder to abstain. But if you're like me and didn't have much of a choice, you simply make due with the hardship!

    Hmmmm...that could be a follow up post Mirror. How long has everyone gone without sex? Anyway...I saw the movie and thought it was pretty creative and cute. Sadly I've probably gone longer without sex than any on soulcast except for Queen. :-)
  • mirrorimage said on Jul 14, 2007....
    E_T:  that's a good point. And I think as soon as you decide you aren't going to do something, that is all you can think about. And that probably makes it more difficult as well. 
     
    suddenrain: I started to feel bad for him when he started to twitch, shake and sweat!  I've gone quite a while... a year and a half or so but I was so preoccupied with my son that I didn't really notice...I mean I did...but I didn't. lol
    I almost wish I was in Queen's position when it comes to this topic... except of course for my children..

    Hi mirror, I have been without ' it ' for 6months max when I had a long distance relationship. So 40 days is pretty easy ;)
    P.S - I'll check out the movie. I love romantic comedies.

  • mirrorimage said on Jul 14, 2007....
    desertmermaid: Oh yes....long distance relationships are kind of like conditioning for the abstinance olympics....:)  It is a good movie....I think I've watched it a dozen times or so...lol
  • Eilan said on Jul 14, 2007....
    I haven't seen the movie. I'm assuming that no sex of any kind includes masturbation?

    I could, but I'm not sure why I'd want to. My husband would probably have something to say about it!

    I went through a couple of periods after my ex and I separated in which I didn't have sex for three or four months at a time. That's the longest I've gone since I started having sex.
  • Suddenrain said on Jul 14, 2007....
    I don't find sex a priority in my life anymore. Actually it never was a priority. I'm more into a soulful connection. Intimacy comes from that for me. If I don't have that, then there's no sexual thoughts. So, as I said, its been years for me. I miss the mental connection that comes with that. I don't twitch, shake or sweat though. LoL  :-)
  • evil_twin said on Jul 14, 2007....
    Eilan brought up a point...does this no sex for 40 days include masturbation?? Because if that's the case, I'd never last. 4 days maybe....not 40! :-P

    -evil_twin LA
  • mirrorimage said on Jul 14, 2007....

    Eilan: Yes, there was no masturbation, no kissing...not a whole lot of anything. Oh yes, I think your husband would have a real issue with it! LOL

    Suddenrain: I think the mental connection is what attracts me most. I need that in relationships as well.

    E_T:  I'm afraid there was no masturbating allowed! I'm guessing that is why he started twitching and shaking and handcuffing himself to his bed. :)

  • evil_twin said on Jul 14, 2007....
    Ah, yes, see I hadn't seen the movie and did not realize that was a stipulation. Even with my hands tied behind my back, I'd probably find some other way to take care of things! I can only imagine how cranky and unpleasant he was to be around. That frustration would be pretty unbearable. At least for me! And I suspect just about every other man around too...

    I've seen this film, it was ages ago tho, and all I can remember is the bets, and the laundry room...and that I enjoyed it :-)     I have gone longer than 40 days, but not easily :-)

    E_T:  He was not quite as moody as I thought he would have been and  I felt bad for him when he dumped the ice cold water down the front of his britches....

     I'm sure after a few days of it you (men) could get quite creative... even handcuffs aren't enough to stop it! LOL   

  • mirrorimage said on Jul 14, 2007....
    Destiny, I missed your comment there...sorry! :)   The bets surrounding him were funny.... can you imagine having something that personal being posted on a website and having people all over the world place bets on you! Ok, so blogging is kind of similar, but at least we aren't betting on eachother!
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Jul 14, 2007....
    Um, I don't think I could do it. :-D I'm a redheaded Scorpio - there's just no way!

    Well, I don't think I could do this either!! I have gone 40 days w/out sex, but not entirely......if you know what I mean! LOL *blushes* I can be w/out a man, but not without pleasure......LOL

  • mirrorimage said on Jul 15, 2007....
    lol infernal... well, maybe he should watch the movie!
     
    natalie: lol...  I have a feeling E_T is quite relieved by your response! :)  I wish my SO would come on SC it would be so much fun...
     
    destiny: viagra....they do that in the movie! Except the boss drinks it instead of the guy it was intended for! lol....  good point.... with every thing else that has happened here, placing bets can't be far behind!!
  • evil_twin said on Jul 15, 2007....
    Mirror and Natalie, yes, I have to say I'm quite relieved by that response! I guess that means my chances of having to go 40 days are pretty slim now :-D Not complaining! And Mirror, it is fun having Natalie here. It makes it a whole different experience.

    ed, she probably hasn't been able to walk normal in years....how long have you been married? LOL
     
    lilyoh: i think you'd have to do something to take your mind off of it!! lol
  • silverwhisper said on Jul 17, 2007....
    MI, while that impression is quite flattering, i imagine that you'd be very surprised to learn the truth of the matter. i do like making it hard for her to walk normally, though. :D
