Far from. I find a sexually focused life to be boring, but to each their own. Sex becomes boring to me when it’s lackluster. And that’s what it always seemed to be for me before the actual groundwork was laid. I just crave so much more than just the physical. Best sex I ever had was being in love and making love, everything else just isn’t the same for me like not at all on the same level. I find that physicality is empty for me without more, I’m a spiritual being and I need a deeper connection to truly enjoy it myself. There’s so much more in life and in love to me.

Yeah same here. I feel the same way you do about it.

Who in here is sexually abstinent.

Posted by AbbyNormal

I am. I’ve had a troubling past sexually and I finally got to a point where I realized and embraced that I don’t owe anyone anything and my body is mine to do what I wish. I had very poor self worth and made a lot of bad decisions out of lack of sexual and relationship education. I’m happy not to have it as a main focus in my life. I can have sex any time but it’s not one of my motivators—I want a lot more out of life. Self respect is priceless and when I’m ready, I will. But I haven’t had anyone show me they are worth giving myself to in a very long time. Tired of regrets. I’m not living like that anymore.

What’s your motivation for celibacy? I think it’s been over two years now but I can’t really remember. I haven’t been focused on it at all really. I’ve been focused on improving my soul, and what I can bring to the table.

I wouldn't call my process celibacy but I tend to take tolerance brakes just to test myself. Usually I set a goal for 3 months periodically and I actually still date casually during that time frame. Some have side dick I'm sure but what do I care it's about me being the boss of my strong urges. Side note does bjs count as still being celibate.

Nope, but I do wish you luck though.

There was a period in life where I have been for like 2,5 years or so. It's amazing, I was so focused and in the clouds at some point. It was like having superpowers. Good luck, it's great!

Does this mean no dating? Or dating while celibate? And for how long? Inquiring minds lol

I don’t think if it as celibate or abstinence.. I’m focused on someone being a relationship possibility, not casual. So of course if I haven’t found someone like that, I’m not having sex.

I am. It is wonderful because you focus more on the less superficial parts of life.

I think it runs in my family though cause I can assure all these years Ive been living in the same house hold as my grandparents and single mom. Who rarely even dates these days. Aint nothing going on. I an so surprised by how hard it is for people to be celibate.

I am.

Good luck, but it's not that hard or complicated to pull off.

Yeah same here. I feel the same way you do about it.

I feel the same way too

Feeling sexually dependent on someone made me feel powerless and distracted me too much. I feel freer now.

Drinks make me horny so I need to know who to be around and where to be when having drinks, it’s not easy to get the urge and pump the breaks

Quit drinking too. Maybe start for a month first... You'll feel great

Posted by TheSag I don't really see any long-term benefits in being celibate but maybe it's different for women because most men who walk down the streets in the summer feel like forced monks anyway.

But when you want to lose weight and feel more healthy overall you don't quit eating, you just go on a diet.

Posted by xXxAliiciaXxX

I've spent more time being celibate than sexually active.

It has its benefits but I wouldn't necessarily call it life changing.

Let's say you like eating chocolate ice cream cake cookies. You know it's bad for you and you quit eating them and even though you don't die you would still DIE to eat them

Me too and you are right your body gets used to it but at times I still crave for sweets. I eat like 2 pieces of dark chocolate with low sugar every day because your body needs some sugar. I haven't eaten pizza for like almost 2 years though.

Dating but no sex. It’s hard imo but I want to try this thing out.

Yes and I am trying to prevent things. I know a few people who suffer from diabetes and it runs through my family as well. I am good but who knows what happens.

Is that due to choice Alicia or circumstances?

Choice.


Although I've had one night stands and I'm not against them, I prefer sex with someone who knows me and cares for me and vice versa.

That's the best kind of sex imo.

I’m comfortable with doing it. We don’t get back together or anything. It’s just him being nice.

It’s like booking an appointment now 😂

I even say “Can I get a maintenance session in”

I have no shame. Lol.

I made it roughly five weeks before bedding the Aries

But when done he and I both felt neutral about sex again.

I am at the brink of embracing celibacy because Im needing more emotional intimacy. The fun of casual sex wire off fast.

My Sag was celibate for 2 year prior to me. Amd if I can’t have sex with someone who evokes the kind of emotion he did... Im not feeling interested or fulfilled
