"\nWe all go through dry spells. We all know what it&amp;#39;s like. So let&amp;#39;s give ourselves permission to laugh about those moments when you realize it has been entirely too long since you last had sex. Here are 15 signs.\nPinterestFacebookWoman relaxing on couch with remote control\nPHOTO: Getty Images/Polka Dot RF\nWhen you feel around on the empty half of your bed, you find a single snow boot, a Life Magazine from 1967, and a half-eaten animal cracker that you swear is judging you with his frowny circus animal half-face.\n\n\nYou didn&amp;#39;t know &amp;quot;condom dust&amp;quot; was a thing, until you checked the hidden pocket in your wallet.\n\n\nYou&amp;#39;ve stopped saying uber-confident stuff to your friends like, &amp;quot;Tonight, I&amp;#39;m going to Bonetown, Virginia!&amp;quot; and now mutter quietly to yourself about how you yearn for physical intimacy. And then you shed a single tear, unbeknownst to the revelers around you, who are, in fact, there for your birthday party.\n\n\nYour mom&amp;#39;s like, &amp;quot;Are you getting enough sex, dear?&amp;quot;\n\n\nYour friends don&amp;#39;t even ask anymore.\n\n\nYou&amp;#39;ve kind of pretty much totally forgotten how to lip-kiss.\n\n\nYou have not plucked that weird, stray hair since before Carly Rae Jepsen was a thing.\n\n\nYou have looked at your naked reflection, stood tall, and said aloud, &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m not that bad.&amp;quot;\n\n\nYou have looked at your naked reflection, stuck out your stomach, jiggled it around, frowned at your bellybutton, then ate ice cream in bed until you fell asleep.\n\n\nYou have almost successfully convinced yourself that nobody else in the whole world is having sex when your roommate&amp;#8212;who has the same name as one of your parents&amp;#8212;comes home with the loudest. One night stand. Of all time.\n\n\nYou know what&amp;#39;s better than sex?! Cheese. And RPGs. And watching *Louie *on Netflix, alone, in bed, with a box of white wine. Seriously, you all are missing out.\n\n\nYou&amp;#39;ve envisioned telling your next sex partner how long it&amp;#39;s been since your last sexual encounter, in case you do something severely incorrect.\n\n\nSometimes you forget you have sex parts.\n\n\nYou take comfort in knowing that you went 16 years without sex. Granted, that was from age zero to 16, but *dammit, you can do it again if necessary! *15. Your Netflix suggestions are all film adaptations of Bront\u00EB novels. All of them.\n\n--Written by Emily Winter for HowAboutWe\nDo any of these signs ring true for you?
