The \u201cDry Spell\u201d Explained"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PR research company, OnePoll, got to work on behalf of LELO, in order to understand the who, what, where and how of the dry spell, that is &#8211; a lack of sex for a certain period of time &#8211; as it is experienced today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The research, conducted on 2,000 American adults, revealed some interesting statistics. And if you\u2019re currently in a dry spell, the results may just make you feel a little bit better about your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/celibacy-syndrome-what-is-it-and-should-we-be-concerned\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">non-existent sex life<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Is a Lack of Sex Considered a Dry Spell?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sexually active have spoken! And the consensus is that, if you\u2019ve gone five months or more without the sideways tango, you\u2019re officially in a dry spell. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly though, the current average when it comes to how long a dry spell lasts, is 11 months.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Men, on average, face a lack of sex for 10 months during a dry spell.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women, on average, face a lack of sex for one year during a dry spell.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this way, the average American adult experiences roughly four dry spells in their lifetime, with 28 percent currently in the midst of its full effects. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can imagine, this isn\u2019t exactly ideal. Especially since the majority of American adults would like to be enjoying sex three times a week to be fully satisfied.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are the Main Causes of a Dry Spell?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to this new study:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">32% of adults

Dry Spell?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the study:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">46% of adults overcome the

semi-sane, and 48 percent agreed that the negative effects of a dry spell are made much better with the use of a sex toy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check this out:<\/strong> <a

of a Dry Spell<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you decide that experiencing a dry spell is the end of the world, there are actually a number of positive things that can come about during this period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study showed that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">27% of participants came out of a dry spell with a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">better understanding of themselves<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li

dry spell, and almost 50% of Americans agreed that a dry spell can actually be a beneficial experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Three Most Common Negative Side Effects of a Dry Spell<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, there are negative side effects when it comes to a lack of sexual pleasure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And according to the study:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">41% of those who have experienced a dry spell agreed that loneliness was the biggest side effect.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">34% experienced frustration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For one, a dry spell gives you the time and energy to focus solely on yourself. It\u2019s a period for self-exploration &#8211; not only sexually, but also physically, emotionally and mentally. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By getting in-touch with your own body, you\u2019re figuring out what feels good and what doesn\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using new toys and different techniques allows you to learn more about your likes, your dislikes, and perhaps even opens up the opportunity to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/how-kinky-are-you-quiz\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">discover a few new fantasies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This, in turn, makes you a more <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/boost-bedroom-confidence\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">active and self-confident partner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, leading to better sex. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, two in five Americans agreed that some of their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best orgasms were when they were flying solo<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So while you may curse your fate when experiencing a dry spell, try to see it as a time in which to embrace the power of your body, because it always knows what you need!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check this out:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/how-focusing-on-the-positive-can-lead-to-better-sex\/\">How Focusing on the Positive Can Lead to Better Sex &#8211; Dr. Madeleine Castellanos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PR research company, OnePoll, got to work on behalf of LELO, in order to understand the who, what, where and how of the dry spell, that is &#8211; a lack of sex for a certain period of time &#8211; as it is experienced today.
