it's been a pretty long dry spell now, not that i haven't tried and went out to bars etc. i kind of foresee this dry spell lasting the whole year, maybe i'm being negative, but past experiences lead me to believe that it will be (i.e. i would still be a virgin if i hadn't gone the route i had). i want to tough it out, i know i should. but another side says, life is short, why should i go a whole year without sex, a basic need, just because it has been out of my reach? I guess its the easy way out, the easy option. I also think i am being quite negative in my thinking, but is this thinking a sign of sex addiction?

any advice would be greatly appreciated, i don't want this number to get any bigger, i guess i'm asking, what would you do if you were in my shoes?
