ABSTINENCE

Greetings: I find that celibacy is completey healthy.


WHY CHOOSE CELIBACY?

In respect for your own body-- I recommend it for respect of your body's health. I haven't any research or statistics to back me up, that is one way or another more or less respectful--It is respectful in regard to your idea of your own body's health. These are reasons only you will determine. Choices I hear most are more common to spirituality and faiths.

A PRACTICE OF SELF-CLEANING: Celibacy can clease your body. If you have or have been taking forms of birth control methods...i.e. birth control pills, DEPO, and or other methods of contraceptives you will not require these when you are not engaging in s*xual activity. Celibacy takes away uses of these drugs in your body, and therefore cleases you of their involvement.

ABSTINENCE-- This is the main use of celibacy. NO involvent frees your s*xual commitments, s*xual involvement and s*xual partners you may not necessary trust.

LOWER YOUR RISK OF STD-- Practicing celibacy is a definite way to deter almost every high risk of STD( s*xually Transmitted Disease) Your chances of contracting diseases of s*xual involvement are lowered to zero.

YOUR BODY IS YOUR TEMPLE:

Surely, what you do with your own body is your own choosing. Remember, your body is your temple and what you decide to do with your body isn't always good for you. It's where you live and you need to always take care of yourself. Inside and out.

Choosing Celibacy is one great way to care for your body. The practice of celibacy can be beneficial to you in body, mind and soul. It allows you to be in harmony and balance with yourself as well as with God.

Smiles,
MIISRAEL

Man, there is a joke in here that I want to say soooooo bad, but I bet everybody is already thinking it to themselves anyway so I'll leave it alone! LMAO

I'll have you gentlemen know that some of us are living in celibacy. I'm one who is. But of course, I know the flesh desires are the hardest to walk away from. It's no joke though, there are others I know who are not engaged in s*xual activity.

It takes a strong willed and strong minded person to engage in celibacy or abstaining. So, you'll find that most people don't.

Amen to that! I admit I have prayed a lot, but now I finally am abstaining. If one really wants to do so, it's surely not impossible. I agree many people really want to but find it very difficult...My advice to them is to keep trying.

Abstinence is absolutely possible. I was a virgin until well after graduating high school. And even after becoming s*xually active, I won't lose all my fingers counting the number of s*xual partners I've had in my lifetime. Celibacy is possible. I'm a living, breathing witness. My husband and I waited until we got married. It was 10 months, which for some people is a lifetime. I've gone much longer without it (about 2 years). A lot of it does have to with discipline, but so that I don't make myself a heroine here, for me, it wasn't as much about discipline as it is that I am not a very s*xually charged person. s*x has never been one of my vices. I've never been so moved by it that I cannot go without it. My husband is the same, so God knew who to give me to.

Our vice is the companionship, the conversations and the intimacy that comes with every day affection-- be it carressing hands, spooning, kissing, embracing or staring at each from across a room for minutes a time to see which one of us will blink first.

It could be me calling his voicemail to sing, "I just called to say I love you..." or him calling my voicemail to sing "You are so beautiful to me..." It could be him leaving a love letter on my dashboard for me to find when I'm on the road on my way to work. It could be a spontaneous public announcement to a group of total strangers saying something like, "Hey, I don't I know you from Eve, but do you see this man? Well, I love him and I just needed to share that..." ...ya know, things like that. And don't get me wrong...the s*x is incredible. But I've never been a person who's more moved by being touched than by being reached. (If kissing was s*x, I'd be a freak because I LOVE to kiss!!!! LOL).

...just my two cents...

Blessings...

P.S. - Before I got married, my body didn't belong to me, but to God. I didn't always do the right thing with it (present it a living sacrifice), but it was God's nonetheless. ;-)

Thanks Dee! That's wonderful. It's exactly what one should do with their body. Taking care not be involved in immoral s*xual activity! Too many times our flesh want to rule over our Spirit. We should let God live in us to resist temptations that defile our bodies. I loved your two cents....! Well spent.
