				Victor LaValle's account of his two years of (almost) celibacy &mdash; alleviated occasionally by <a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #phonesex" title="Click here to read more posts tagged #phonesex" href="http://jezebel.com/tag/phonesex/">phone sex</a> &mdash; makes the case that <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/jun/26/two-years-having-phone-sex">not getting any will drive you crazy</a>. But actual lack of sex may matter less than just plain loneliness.				<a href="http://jezebel.com/5574380/does-celibacy-make-you-crazy" title="Click here to read more about Does Celibacy Make You Crazy?">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				Kit Naylor says she's "55 years old, a spinster long past my sell-by date, no kids &mdash; and I haven't had sex in a decade and a half." In <a href="http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2008/12/09/kit_naylor/index.html">her article on <em>Salon</em></a>, she writes that she could probably score some casual sex, but she wants to be in love &mdash; and historically, she's fallen in love with unavailable men. So for the past 15 years, she's enjoyed the single, sexless life: "the toilet seat is always down, and I control the TV remote" and "the cats don't criticize." But even as she lists the virtues of celibacy, she makes it disturbingly clear that it's not really her choice.				<a href="http://jezebel.com/5105346/the-cats-dont-criticize-a-single-writers-semi+sad-celibacy" title="Click here to read more about "The Cats Don't Criticize": A Single Writer's Semi-Sad Celibacy">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				I am not a fan of <a href="http://jezebel.com/388678/what-constitutes-a-dry-spell">dry spells</a>. I know they're supposed to give you time to think, or to grieve the end of a relationship, but all I ever do is think about how I'm <em>not</em> getting laid and how the loss of the relationship means the loss of access to regular sex, which means I'm <em>not getting laid</em> and how much of a pain in the ass it is to <em>try</em> to get laid when I could just, mere days before, say, "Hey, wanna go screw now?" and get laid. In other words, I get a little preoccupied and crabby about it and masturbation is a poor substitute and I really do start to feel as though not getting laid is affecting my body more than it reasonably ought to be. But now there's scientific proof that <a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-he-mateside18-2008aug18,0,2257086.story?track=rss">getting laid does a body good</a> (other than the orgasms and the oxytocin and whatever).				<a href="http://jezebel.com/5038386/dry-spells-bad-for-your-health-good-for-his-gasm" title="Click here to read more about Dry Spells: Bad For Your Health, Good For His 'Gasm">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
