Sex is no the same as making love. Please remember that everyone...

I hated myself a year ago. I was overweight, bald, and I didn't like the way I smelled. I don't know how to describe it - I just smelled bad all the time. Then I found Celibrate and learned how I could live a sex-free lifestyle. That was the day a light came into my life and I no longer had to sleep with every man and woman I met to feel validated. Over the past year, I lost 30 pounds, my hair grew back and I smell great. Now I only have sex with myself. Thanks Celibrate!

Very nice to see some sence in the world. I discovered celibrate in a newspaper today and thought i'd check your website. I am very pleased your doing this, there are people like myself any others who need support with this. I am too looking for the perfect one, how it should be. But unfortunately everyone my age has been about a bit and are starting to have families. Alot of people don't really know what 'TRUE' love is and it has really has put me off a certain kind of the other gender (But still very much straight!). (Sorry to be too harsh, but it's true). It's ashame really because i'm a loving person, and until today i thought i wouldn't be able to be with people who are on the same level, so thanks again Celibrate!!!! x

I've been living a celibrate life for 15 years now... With time, everything gets easier, and of course, sheltering myself helped a lot ; ) I'm saving myself for the one and if I find, there is no one for me... Then I'll be happy with Jesus alone... I have a great deal of peace and joy in my arena... I would like to encourage you to stay strong and do the same... Age has nothing to do with it because we all have needs... We just have to learn to prioritize those needs... Blessings to you...

its a tradition to be celebate in my family and i live by traditions. however all of my mates (male/female) have all lost their virginity an i fell left out. and i was starting to doubt whether its worth it. i dont really have any1 to talk to about it either :(

I am considering celibacy for a few reasons. In the past I felt that all I was good for was sex. I'm going to remain celibate so I can discover other things I'm good at and improve my self worth.

I chose to be celibate to protect my heart and emotions. After every failed sexual relationship, I feel so upset, hurt, and used- like I gave a special part of myself away to someone that didn't appreciate it. It feels like having your heart ripped out of your chest and stomped on. The emotions are so strong that they also affect other areas of your life like work and study. Since becoming celibate, I feel fantastic! I feel sane, happy and emotionally healthy. I believe the benefits of being celibate greatly outweigh the benefits of sex.

As a freshman in college, I've really felt alone in my quest to remain celibate. I was raised Roman Catholic, but even other Catholics around me have had premarital sex, and I often feel like the odd one out. As one person put it, Give up your virginity or remain a spinster. Your choice. However, The testimonials on this site really helped. I'm determined to stay on the right path as best I can. Thank you for this site!

I just read all of these wonderful stories I am 27 and after two failed marriages and two kids. I dont want to have sex again for awhile. I cannot handle the emotional scaring its leaves when you and a person are in lust and not in love.

Go celibates! I've been that way for two years now. I never planned it, it just happened; I'm not religious and I enjoy sex, I just stopped enjoying the expectation that to be normal one has to be out doing the do all the time!

I need someones help preferbly someone who does believe in celibacy... I took a vow earlier tis week well not even 3 days ago, and after comeing over to my ex's house (We have just resently started to seperate, I have 3 children with him as well) I broke my vow and now I fell worse then I have in a while. Im not a religious person but I feel that after praying to god and asking for his forgiveness for my lifes sins and in return I'd live a life of celibacy. I didnt tell him an end date, I didn't say it would be for life I just said I would aperachate his help in getting me to gain self worth, self respect, and learn to love my self... I feel as if by doing this act I just broke all the trust and anypart I could of had at leading a proper healty life... If anyone has any input please email me msmommy24@gmail.com thanks

I am stongly considering a life of celibacy now. I am researching the subject in order to understand it more and learned it has an interesting background and history . I hear and read a lot of reference to spiritual enhancement and development as being sometimes the main reason and benefit of celibacy , and I learned that another word for sexual abstinence or celibacy is 'continence' .

I've recently came across this website after hearing about it from a certain other website. I think this is utterly ridiculous. They say on this website, it's natural, and good to not have the pressures of sex. I have one thing to say: sex IS natural. Obviously! It's what brings us into this world. It's something that we should embrace fully and not be so shy about. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I just wanted to state my opinion.

I found this site after telling my ex that I was planing on abstaining from sex, then he made a joke about it, but after being told about things that happened when I was younger I have started thinking that celibecy just makes sence, I need to learn respect for myself, and I want to make a stand... Im done letting men vileate, and use me... I feel discusted in myself for binge drinking when I was a child, Im discusted in these boys who call them selfs men because they can raped a girl while she has passed out..... As of tonight October 26th 2011 I take my vow of absence, and from what I read it would mean Im incel Im not putting a end date, as I think this shoulda been the way since day one.... Thank you for this site it helped A LOT

What a great advocacy! Indeed, we are really the true blessed people living on this restless world! May GOD pour more graces to us celibate people! I love it!

I am choosing to remain a virgin until marriage and to remain chaste and pure and always do what is right! God is always here to support me and my Godly decisions that HE helps me make!!!!1

Great website you have here. The world has recently become so perverse and sexually orientated that those who have a true understanding of spiritual value feel shoved in the gutter or alienated if they want to live in the world without sharing in its sexuality. The more we promote the discussion and sharing of celibate values, experiences and feelings, the more spiritually inclined we can urge the world to become. Thank you.

I have read most of them and got a lot from them. To me, you are doing the great work. Carry on this. work at home In the end, I would like to thank you for making such a nice website.

After my last relationship failed 8 months ago I see celibacy as the only option. The only reason I would give myself to someone is that I love them completly and wanted to spend the rest of my life with them. Casual sex seems to be a special kind of insainity in our society. You get all the risks a little temporary pleasure and pain atleast equal to it if not more if there are std's or unwanted pregnancies. My experience with dating is it is the huge game where no one wins. Giving love to someone in a relationship before you know a person and have both decided to spend the rest of your lives together is crazy too. How many people does a person have to go out with go through this romantic/sexual relationship have their heart torn out and have havoc wrecked on a persons health/life before they find the one. All I know from my own experience is that this doesn't work my life is passing me by my house is filled with things I got from previous boyfriends who I lived with shared my life with and will always love and who I will most likely never see again. Its a life of giving, being hurt and having broken bridges, love that only lasts 24 hours, sometimes, weeks, months, years and then is over if someone says the wrong thing or expects too much in the blink of an eye. All the friends and family that were meet are history, the vacations, birthdays, and holidays, are history. All that is left is a memory, or a special food that reminds you of the person, or when you see something that reminds you of them, or of a story, or things that their children said. This is the closest thing to hell that I can imagine. I have no children despite all the love I gave away so I am alone and barren. I can't seem to drum up the enthusiasm for jumping in again to this insainity. All this talk about waiting for the right person. I am doing this though with celbracy it fills like part of me is dead but I have started experiencing some of the positive effects of it too. My self esteme has re...

My wife and I have recently decided to stop having intercourse for life. We have found as we get older (mid to late 40's) we value cuddling, hugging and kissing much more than intercourse! Also, I am becoming Impotent. Although impotence was the final straw, we have been thinking about it and discussing it for awhile, and did go for a one year trial period of celibacy that stretched into four! We resumed intercourse after 4 years, but have found it does not provide any real satisfaction after experiencing the bliss of a celibate lifestyle. Rather than mourning our loss, we are celebrating a new beginning! Love this site! Happy to be in a celibate marriage with a loving wife! Even happy to be impotent!
