Anybody Else Here Celibate?

[L.Brown1114]

If so why? When did you go celibate and how long are you celibate for?

I'm actually starting tomorrow. I'm going to be celibate and not date or have sex for at least a year. Take the time to focus on my goals, moving, meeting friends first and establishing myself in a new place and learning how to be alone. I want to learn how to make peace with it. Idk if I'll ever find my next great love and/or husband. I do know I want to make sure I'm able to be happy and at peace if I don't. That's something I can control, not if I find the right guy or not

Nothing wrong with that. I think sometimes it's good to take a break from dating/sex.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I'm celibate from like November to like June every year lol. I'm really only horny during the summer months lol.

 

[TwoSnapsUp]

Not sure if I can say that it's on purpose. It's been a while but I'd prefer to be jn a relationship before becoming intimatr with someone.


It's been a long time, though.

That's how I was but guys would literally ask me to be in a relationship with them just to have sex. Men are too thirsty for that these days. thats why I need this break lol
I'm doomed dating in this generation so I need to make peace with with probably being alone lol

 

[SurferBabe]

I'm dating myself for a year so that includes celibacy as well. I'll probably continue with celibacy until I enter into a serious relationship and feel like being intimate. I don't miss it. I've had some WILD, crazy, fun times so I find celibacy refreshing for now.

 

[janiebaby]

Nope just haven't found someone worth giving it up to

I'm celibate. My last sexual experience was just so awful. So now I just want to wait for someone God sent.

 

[UniquelyDivine]

I go through long bouts of Celibacy all the time, my longest has been two years. I'm not a "dater" per se so I don't have people in my life that could even tempt me.

I'm on my next stretch of celibacy as we speak just because there is absolutely no one around here that I'm checking for relationship or booty call wise.

Really!?! That makes me feel a lot better. I was like I give up, no ones genuine anymore.

 

[ZapMami]

I was for a LONG time, up until a few months ago and I regretted it immediately .

Why did you regret it, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Silkycoils]

I am. It's been a loooong time. I started going for long stretches in my 30's because my "picker" was off, and I didn't want to sleep with just anyone. I backslid here and there, but now I'm on my longest stretch ever. I don't want to be, but I haven't met the right man. I've watched my friend break her celibacy for men who treated her like crap . . .won't be me. I am honoring my body, BUT a man will have to PROVE that he's worth me sharing my body with him.

 

[ZapMami]

Why did you regret it, if you don't mind me asking?

It just felt wrong, I just wasn't ready emotionally. Then his behavior changed in the weeks after. I didn't meet the real him until after the sex.

 

[Miss_Luna]

I took a long break...because I don't want a relationship ...then I broke my celibacy with someone that assumed I was looking for a relationship, but I wasn't. So, it was a waste, because I'm uninterested in casual texting and pseudo-relationship stuff.

I don't have the capacity to emotionally invest in a relationship or a friends with benefits situation. I have enough friends. This next stretch will be for a while because I just don't want to be bothered. I don't even think about sex as often now, just work and sleep lol

 

[IronButterfly]

Going on six years. My how the time does fly! lol

Omg! How?!?

That happened to me. But his behavior changed to uninterested cuz he got what he wanted

 

[IronButterfly]

Omg! How?!?

LOL!!! The time flew by, girl! I'm a busy single mom of a special needs kid and not looking to bring any trash to the home I share with my child. I seldom go out any more and on most days I dress like a bum because I'm ultra exhausted. I lost weight two years ago and the men were noticing me again, but I just...I don't know. It may be too late, but I'm holding out for something good and kind and magical. I keep a steady supply of batteries on hand for emergencies, though.

lol I understand! I just started and I'm already sexually frustrated. The longest I've gone is like a year and that was hell! Kudos to you! And I think you'll find something special
