I’m very interested in other guys experiences. How long have you gone without one or the other? Any guys out there realized they felt better from not partaking in either form? What made you feel this way? Is it because of your spouse or other circumstances?

I was in a mostly dead bedroom marriage for 17 years. Sometimes would go months without any physical intimacy, punctuated by a half hearted pity fuck is stowed by the woman who supposedly loved me the most in this world. I don’t recommend it.
Oh idk anywhere from 0 days to idk infinity
Technically you can go indefinitely without either.
I’ve gone a long time without sex and it sucks but it is bearable due to masturbation. idk how long I could go without beating it though esp. since there’s no downsides to it.
For me it’s about 4 days before I need to vent
Isn’t like monks and priest do this forever?
I’ve gone without sex for just over ten years, or kisses, or even a meaningul hug. You get used to it, you eventually forget what it meant to you, and you stop needing it. If a girl wanted to have sex with me now or even to make out, I literally would not know the first thing tbh and it really doesn’t bother me. The thought doesn’t interest me at all, I kind of feel like it’d be a chore. As I said, after a while you cease to care and it loses any meaning.
Years
You can go without either indefinitely, it’s not a requirement to live.
as long as they want and then probably even longer
Self care as in like moisturizing face masks or masturbation?
all the comments missing the OPs point of no sex OR ‘SELF CARE’ which i assume he means masturbation.
obviously this varies from person to person based on virility.
people in /r/nofap often report nocturnal emission after a period ranging from a few weeks to months.
if you don’t count that, indefinitely.
if you’re more interested in how long a man can stay sane, i’d also say indefinitely, it seems after a few months to a year most people report little to no urge whatsoever.
Going for 25 years now! Help
A lot depends on your natural sex drive. If you have a very high labido, any significant timescale can be stressful, or torture if there isn’t any physical affection at all.. I’d almost class it as mental torture… I don’t recommend settling for it long term…
You probably should have asked why
Life
Depends on the guy. You want nice me? Once a week at an absolute minimum.
You don’t care if I’m nice or not, I can go longer.
Longest I’ve went without sex or masturbating was 1 year when i was 19. Maybe the most motivating and driven version of myself. Now 29, trying to do the same again. Simply quitting and decreasing cheap dopamine hits
I need to release about every two to three days personally. Thankfully my wife is available and helps me in that regard.
I’ve gone years without both
I start to get really fucking pissy and easily triggered by day 3 of no nut
It’s not well publicized, but a man’s testicles explode at around the eight week mark.
