The timer on how long your character can go without sex is a stupid idea. My character died because I went out to check if there was any quests with the orc lady and I couldn't get half way back to the city before I died. Also its really stressful because even when you're not traveling outside the city since even if you complete a girls questline they have there own schedules as to when you can meet up, but that timer doesn't care about the girls schedules. I had several instances where the bar almost filled up even when I stayed in the city, desperately trying to get any girl to sleep with my character so he wouldn't die. Checking on the orc girl was the only time the timer ever ran out though.
