"I went through three passionate relationships, two of which i almost had sex many times. I found my orgasms uncomfortable and I realized that I was in those situations just to get my quota of kissing and fooling around. When I realized that these guys we e wanting to go all the way, I pulled out as fast as i could. When I finally got together with a celibate man, I discovered that I had wanted celibacy all along. I still get my minimum kissing and intimacy quota, but I'm keeping my virginity safe for as ong as I can. I define celibacy as foreplay/fooling (kissing, masturbation, etc) around until right before the man reaches the point of no return. "

Celibacy has been an issue in my mind for about a year. I'm 26 years old and I've been active since the age of 19. In those 8yrs I've only expereinced 2 organisms. I'm not very sexually active, but when I am it is not enjoyable at all. Its as if the men 've had intimacies with since my sexual life began are only concerned with themselves or they do not know how to please me (even after I tell them how). I'm really frustrated with sex and overall I feel that sex isn't even worth all the headaches it caus s. I've chosen to pursue celibacy more persistently now because I'm tired of giving my body to men (allowing them to recognize pleasure) and I don't reap any pleasurable benefits. Its not worth the vaginal discharges that condoms sometimes produce; its no worth worrying about HIV/AIDS after the pleasure is gone. Its always women who have to bear the emotional and physical burdens of sex. Never men. So I've decided that celibacy is the best way for me.

For PWhitehorne: People for milleniums have made peace with their sexuality and their celibacy. The best people to give you guidance on this would be priests and nuns. The church does not teach that sex is dirty or something to be killed or destroyed by drugs or self muti ation. YOU CAN BE SEXUAL AND CELIBATE AT THE SAME TIME. There are so many positive, uplifting books on this subject, it would take you 2 years to read them all. A spiritual director may be someone who could walk with you on this journey until you are whe e you want to be and be happy and free. Contact any Vocations office at any Catholic diocese as this subject is covered extensively for those discerning the LIFETIME celibate lifestyle via the "consecrated life." It does not matter if you are not Catholi , I am sure they would be most happy to assist you. The most important tool and weapon you have in overcoming your agony right now is prayer. You should gather up as many prayer warriors as possible to help you embrace that you are a loveable, worthwhile exual being who choses to express your sexuality via celibacy.God wants you to be happy, not miserable, and He has lots of His faithful out there just waiting to help you make peace with your sexual self and your celibate self. Peace be with you.

I had a "God Encounter" of the first kind, after crying for Jesus to make me more obedient. I struggle with the celibacy, because while basking in the sunshine of his river-I vowed It (at baptism of the Holy Spirit). I need Godly counsel (psalms 1:1). Who can I discuss this openly with?

After reading through some of the most recent entries I might suggest you try contacting the only web site on earth for INVOLUNTARY CELIBACY. This site is for both single people (Incels) and married people (Marcels). The number of people who are married a d celibate will astound you. The web address is: www.ncf.carlton.ca/~ad097 This site is located in Canada and is very "cranky" and at times difficult to access, but don't give up. It's worth reading. They also have an e-group. If this web address is not exact, then just do web search for involuntary celibacy and it should come up. There is also a link from the same organization called "Alana's home page."

In checking the guest book, I notice people who determined that if they were married, they were not celebate. I was a 28 year old virgin (didn't even tempt kissing)until I met the woman I married 10 years ago. Nearly 2 years ago, she lost interest in love making and I have been celibate since then. It was much easier the first time before I experienced the closeness and passion. The marriage is nearly perfect in all other ways so I guess it is a small price to pay.

I am what is called a MEDICAL CELIBATE. I am starting my own eGroup for those who are FORCED to abstain from any and all sexual activity for medical reasons for the remainder of their lives. The focus diseases are: INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS, VULVODYNDIA, VUL OVESTIBULITIS SYNDROME and Prostate & testicular cancer and surgical removal of any part of the male genitalia. People with the above diseases CANNOT ENGAGE IN ANY SEXUAL ACTIVITY. The above mentioned diseases that affect women are rare, underfunded for esearch and disrespected by the male dominated medical community. We need a SAFE place to grieve, to vent, and to know we are not alone. Networking is a good support system. You can contact us at Medicalcelibates@egroups.com

I chose celibacy as an "open-ended temporary measure" with several motives as follows: First, I believe that celibacy can be an act of spiritual rebellion against the obsessive marketing of sex in our consumption-driven society. Second, as a man, I also wanted to take a stand in favor of male honor; by renouncing sex outside of marriage, I take a stand against the myth that all men are slobbering Neanderthals with one thing on their minds who can easily be manipulated by the gran ing or withholding of female favors. Third, I am also a survivor of sexual abuse. (I was raped at the age of 4 by a christian grandmother who ran a sunday school nursery). My sexuality from then on has always been a painful mixture of desire, fear, and revulsion; which has made the abandonm nt of intercourse a desireable option. Will I remain celibate forever? Probably not, but I'd rather get counseling to resolve my past injuries before I cross that emotional minefield again. - Thanks for the great site! - Charley

I am not celibate for religious reasons,I am merely terrified of AIDS and STDs and when I have sex again the man has to see MY doctor and get a physical and blood test - but I hate it and celibacy has left me moody,over weight - since I'm making love to food and not a man,and feeling very frustrated. My standards are high for men in looks,and I make it almost impossible for anyone to meet my standards but I know someone will some day. Sometime in 2001 I'm giving up celibacy due to finding it to be a HELL ON EARTH at which time I plan to find the type of man I DESIRE and WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH. It isn't any easrier for women to be celebate,, not all men and women are alike we all have different needs based on INDIVIDUALITY.I'm against GENDER TYPING behaviors and think it is annoying when some idiot says" you're a woman,you can take it!" NO WAY !!! and guess who says that ..women!! Men say "how can you stand it??!!!" GOOD QUESTION!!! The men I find to be more understanding of my hatred of this lifestyle. Women!! Don't speak for other women,,some of us love sex and love men and think they're beautiful!!! Sometime next year,after I get this celebacy induced weight off,I'm going to find the man I have a vision of,take him to a beautiful inn and have SEX!!!!!

There are three levels of relationship created by God; Parasitic, Symbiotic and finally Synergistic. The final level is most fully enjoyed between humans, especially between committed married partners. Synergy can ONLY come about if both partners truly love and respect, honour and obey one another and intend to maintain their commitment to one another and responsibility towards each other and towards God for eternity. To experience synergy is to experience God. I cherish celibacy before marriage and fidelity within marriage. I believe that this should be the norm taught and modelled to all children. Your site does a wonderful job exploring this sensitive subject, keep up the good work. I love your photos, I can eally feel the spirit through them.

I really think that celibacy is a very good way to find yourself spiritually and to learn how to love yourself more. I also think that when U have a sexual relationship with someone, U give alot to that person, and U are connected to that person spiritua ly and emotionally. That makes U vulnerable to many things. That isn't very healthy when someone has a hold on U like that. When something bad happens, like when he or she hurts U, U would feel used, betrayed, like U can't trust anybody. Then U would e left to only use sex to fill a void inside of U, which can't happen with just sex, so U basically just keep having sex until U try to attain that fulfillment. That also leads to disappointment, heartbreak, and resentment. And can I also mention that th re is also a risk of diseases and unwanted pregnancy, which can lead to more trauma. All that drama can be avoided if people just stay to themselves sexually, and establish a loving and fulfilling relationship as friends progressing into lovers. After all, sex shouldn't be about "getting off", it should be part of showing someone that U ove them, sharing something and starting families. Peace.

My friend is very puzzled and feel very bad but she loved him and can not leave him. Why can the just marry? I think they could be a couple and at the same time serve the Lord with the same energy or even more because the are not going to be hidding anything. What do you think?

The primary goal of life is GOD realization. A person who cannot observe celibacy from the age of 13 to 24 can never achieve god and can never be sucessfull in life. Semen is a dynamic spiritual energy which when UNwasted gives confidence, courage and strength(mental,physical and spiritual) to the individual. Semen production begins from adolescence and that's the reason why during adolescence the intellectual and physical strength of the individual is at its peak.

Great, site I had no idea this existed. Thanks for looking at a topic that much of the body of Christ has ignored.

To tell the truth, I hate celibacy, and think it's my personal path to complete self-destruction and damnation. But I also realise that "healthy" sexuality will destroy me in a more painful, reckless, and embarassing manner, so celibacy becomes my defaul . Anyway, kudos on your site; there's relatively little about this subject on the web, so you're filling a demand and helping inform lots of intrinsically hung-up people.

Where do I start? I came to this site to find the insights of others about the life-changing choice of celibacy. I am encouraged to know such a forum exists. I noticed much discussion and points discussed on the physical aspects... though there may be v rious physiological points debated, I like to refer to it in spiritual terms... that of Christ's empowering grace for us to worship the Father to the best of our ability. Celibacy is clearly not a spiritual gift, rather, a conviction in my humble opinion I would also like to recognize that it is no better or worse than being married and having sexual/sensual intimacy, since each has its own merits. Unfortunately, there is not one clear cut definition for celibacy, and in turn we get many questions thro n at us from all angles. I commend your efforts to give some structure to our way of bibically worshipping the Lord. The question that arises most often for me is, "of all the various choices, why celibacy, and how do you know?" - I believe that the ener y of sexuality can be manifested in different ways, but then we cannot label it or refer to it as "sexuality" anymore, can we? Truly a philosphical point, and boring semantics of words. My only caution to other celibates is that we do not become so obse sed with celibacy that we forget the true reason for God giving us this medium of worshipping Him alone. I must confess that sometimes I idolize celibacy, intstead of delighting in Him, Whose grace, love, and mercy abounds beyond our imagination. Strugg ing with celibacy in whole is hard to compare with other things in my experience, but then again, it is a struggle fo rus just like any other Christian struggle that we face daily. I really think that being celibate is having a different perspective on h w to delight and serve in God's grace. It seems almost an insurmountable task to have to comletely categorize and define this wonderful state of being/worship. Again, great job on providing a forum for something so real and close to us.

For me, celibacy is the continuing practice of mental and physical sexual abstainance. I is always practiced for a purpose; the most noble being the regeneration of our bodies by following the example as lived by CHRIST --- "those who follow me in the regeneration shall inherit the kingdom". I have arrived at the conclusion that our sexuality, as is commonly identified today, is nothing more that a human habit developed since the dawn of humanity, over many life times (yes I do believe in reincarnation). Think back for a minute; Adam and Eve were only dimly aware of their sexuality (bodily function) and were admonished not to make use of it. When they did, their consciousness changed, they became more aware of the sensory results of that function, more aware of their bodies, more aware of th ir physical surroundings. The need for clothes and medication and the reality of death and all the human frailities were the results. At the worst they lost their awarness of heaven. (We can also talk later about the original 'sin' being the wastefull us of our generative function -interesting word 'generative'- for purposes other than generative creation). I have come to know by persistant practice that when one is truly celibate (see my defination) a number of changes takes place within the human body. Some of those I have eperienced are: a constant glow of my skin, my eyes have become quite clear, the common cold and many other ailments become a thing of the past --- in short health is restored, even after three days of tropical activities my body scent does not become offensive to others or me (smile), vitality and vigor is a constant companion, less sleep is required and others. People do a double take around me, they ask what am I on ?. One Hindu woman bowed before me. I tell you, I have come to know that celibacy is THE path. I am married and have been endeavoring to practice celibacy for 10 years. Obviously this choice has caused much emotional pain, but my wife and I have remained together. We are still in the process of creating new ways of relating by which we will devel p a union of love, trust companionship and christian parenting. Because I was withdrawing from a human habit, I faultered many times. I discovered that when I was active sexually the bodily fluid ejactulated at climax is white, when I was not as active it became gray and when I was better controlled for as long as 8 months it was black. This suggest to me that a period of restoration of our bodies is necessary before the purely spiritual regeneration begins. A process that was interrupted by Adam and Eve. Suggested readings: GOD-MAN THE WORD MADE FLESH (1920) by Carey, George Washington THE TWELVE POWERS OF MAN by Philmore (Unity Publication). Peace, Peace Profound P.S. These books can be located on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble web sites.
