I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place - I haven't posted before.

Is it common to choose to have sex (and play...etc. - all that kinky stuff) and not eat for long periods of time? Like, eventually I'll eat of course. But there are times when I've gone days without really eating because I'm too busy having sex, or thinking about how I'll be having sex later. Just curious to see if anybody else does it.


I wouldn't say this is common. My appetite for food is not as strong as my appetite for sex, and the two have never really overlapped (except for the occasions when it lasted long enough to merit overlapping).

My girl would take the time to eat, and I'd eat with her, so it wouldn't be an issue. [:)]

Have you ever looked into why you don't eat? Is it metabolism? I'd ask if you smoke since that does suppress appetite, but your profile indicated you don't.

Ha - yeah, I do eat eventually - it's just if I get super horny sometimes I just won't eat. Which seems weird to me. I was hoping there was some kind of biological reason that someone here would know about.

No, not normally, and unless you are actually starving to death I wouldn't worry too much about it - sex stimulates the vagus nerve, which is also tied into the digestive system, Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy is a legitimate therapy for depression and overeating, as stimulation of the vagus nerve can give you that feeling of "fullness", i.e., it's the same neural system that tells you you've had enough to eat.

If anything it might indicate depression, which is known to reduce the appetite, and sex of course is an antidote to depression, so unless you think it's risking your health, by all means keep "self medicating", sex, with the proper and reasonable precautions, has far fewer side effects than most anti-depressants.

If nothing else, you can always suck a protein shake out of a turkey baster. [8|]

Oh gosh..., i wish having sex makes me lose interest in food!!!
But no..., after sex, I'm usually hungry. I can wait to eat and have sex first. But eventually there has to be food.

Not unusual at all under the right circumstances.

You get that rush of endorphins and a little adrenaline going and your body is able to ignore a hell of a lot.
I wouldn't go several days without eating simply because I don't operate that way, but a full day? Or even a day plus some of the next? Sure, I've done that before.

I'm more likely to need a drink of water before I get something to eat in those cases. But eventually things will calm down to a point where I realize I'm damned hungry and oh shit I only had that bowl of cereal like 30 hours ago.




searain -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 9:11:53 AM)

That's what I was thinking - that it was probably an endorphin and adrenaline thing. Or some kind of brain chemical something.




Aswad -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 10:01:02 AM)

Takes quite a bit of attraction to produce enough phenethylamine to result in any prolonged appetite suppression. If it isn't caused by ongoing attraction, the extremely rapid breakdown of the chemical will cause its effects to be shortlived. In a person not taking a drug known as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, the duration is going to be somewhere between five minutes and a couple of hours. Sticking a methyl group on the molecule causes it to last longer, at which point we call it amphetamine.

Quite apart from that simplified account, it doesn't really matter. Brain chemicals aren't like ingredients. We can't say "oh, it's cause your brain has too much/little of X", any more than we can say "this music has too little trombone in it". If you keep an eye on your food intake, make yourself get enough nutrition, then all is well.

IWYW,

searain -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 10:11:31 AM)

Ok - Thank you Aswad :) I will make sure I eat enough to survive.




crazyml -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 11:36:04 AM)

Ok ... I'll say it.

Listen here young lady, the fact that you're clearly a randy little stoat doesn't absolve you of the responsibility to eat properly.

If you find yourself missing multiple meals as a consequence of your uncontrolled libido then you need to take steps to ensure your body (it being the only one you have after all) gets the nourishment it needs.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 11:49:55 AM)

I am envious of anyone who is a randy little stoat. Even though a stoat is a kind of weasel and I am not a fan of weasels generally.




searain -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 11:51:28 AM)

I don't want to be a weasel :( Those freak me out - they're like eels or ferrets - all wiggly and creepy.

*Sorry to offend if anyone has a pet weasel, eel, or ferret.




Hillwilliam -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 11:54:01 AM)

My college roommate had a ferret. It loved beer.




LadyHibiscus -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 12:04:42 PM)

Ferrets are weasels. Same family as minks, fishers, wolverines. Ferocious bastards. Wjo evidently fuck a lot.




ARIES83 -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 1:49:39 PM)

I can't believe I didn't remember this till
now...
Ages ago I remember hearing about an
experiment where they wired up a mouse
so they could directly stimulate the
pleasure centre of its brain, they gave
the mouse a button that would trigger the
stimulation and this was the result...

Wiki-
they allowed the rats to press the stimulation lever themselves, to the effect that they would press it as much as seven-hundred times per hour. This region soon came to be known as the "pleasure center".

....If a rat is given the choice between stimulating the forebrain or eating, it will choose stimulation to the point of exhaustion.

Mice prefer to orgasm, rather than eat apparently.

Although when I heard about it, the rats
or mice or whatever, died from starvation...

Sort of. I'm not particularly attached to food and I have a real tendency to ignore signals from my own body. Well.. perhaps not ignore... but I reserve the right to make final judgement about what is needful. I don't treat signals like pain or hunger to be things which require immediate servicing.

I'm not focused enough on sex for sex to block food for more than a day or so. But work? Oh hell yeah.




LadyHibiscus -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 2:36:30 PM)

Sleep trumps everything. Always.




Kaiel -> RE: Choosing fucking over food? (8/20/2012 2:43:41 PM)

~FR~

I am coming from a clinical perspective and only using the original posters input. In My opinion, having sex for days on end and not eating sounds like a manic episode. Now, of course I don't know you nor am I trying to diagnosis you via your statements on one email. But, lack of eating, tons of energy, prolonged sexual activity (with one or multiple partners) can all be signs of a manic episode.
