    Is there any body other on celibacy? I decided to forget the porn and sexual.
    I am so happy this is my day 60 in celibacy.
    I had to say for mentally these 60 days have been good times. I haven't had strong urges.
    I have still some withdrawal symptoms from fap and dopamine but I am going strongly to forward. I haven't been porn addict for years but after I relapsed in my 400 days journey I had still problems with fapping and my brain was addicted. I maybe relapsed one times per month and i felt terrible. I felt always terrible after fap.
    So this was the only chance and i had to say I don't miss any more any sexual things. But I have to be careful. I am not still on the clear waters.
    It is awesome to see the world clearly and like and be interested from many things.

    I wish you a good and successful trip to everyone
     
  2. I also think about celibacy much.
    I am 36 years old, never married, never had girlfriend and sex.
    Marriage and being in relationship always was a dream to me, but I feel, as I pursue it, more failure I have.
    I am not happy with my desires. But I don't want to satisfy my desires outside of marriage, I don't want to pay for prostitues.

    So, recently I try to find some happiness in singleness.

    I want to stop masturbating, because it causes me many depression guilty feelings.

    I'm also on celibacy for more than 3 years, but involuntary. I would like to have sex, but I'm so hard to get into the relationship that I doubt I will ever get there. However after 3 years of abstinence I must say that I find celibacy to be much better than living watching porn and masturbating. My initial plan was to stop watching porn only, but I quit masturbation too. Honestly, now I don't know what is worse, porn or masturbation... I think I would feel worse mentally if I'd masturbate versus just watching porn. Celibacy gives me some feeling of hopelessness because of unsatisfied sexual desires, but porn and masturbation is a jail. What I learned during these years that PMO is just the illusion of sexual life. It's like being hungry but instead of having real meals all you get is the pictures of them.

    Celibacy, talk about a complete unnatural thing forced by ideology.
    Possible trigger, warning.

  5. I've been staying away from masturbating and I don't plan on trying to get into a relationship until I am healed. So in the mean time I am on a journey of Celibacy. Doesn't mean this is for life though..

  10. I totally understand what you are saying and agree. I want to offer this perspective shift though, sure sex is more ideal than masturbation/porn but you compared sex to a real meal. How long does a real meal satisfy you? It isn't very long before you'll get hungry again. Just as it wont be long before you are horny again. Its better to never rely on women for sex and just stay completely celibate. I understand its tough to fight your desires and you sometimes want to at least masturbate the lust away but abstaining in the long run will bring much more peace and true freedom than anything else.

    Assuming you aren't very old you will find your drive decreases anyway over time so it will get easier. The younger you are the more your 'monkey brain' is trying to push you to have sex in the hopes of you passing on your DNA. Its tricking you in a sense. There is no last ejaculation and you will finally be satisfied, its never ending.

    Hopefully what I said was of help to someone. Good luck.

    Being celibate or having sex?

    Both are good, both are great
    Both can make you suffer
    Both can make you delusional
    Both can make you go mad
    Both can make you wise

    The point is your mind, how you deal with sex. If you are involuntary celibate you are just delusional on what sex is, if you are a sex addict you are delusional on what sex is.

    If any of both paths are done right they will give you the same pleasure, difficulties and wisdom. I'm my experience.

    I'm celibate right now. Later who knows, at least one more year celibate and I feel as happy as when I was having all the sex I wanted with the girl of my dreams.

    I dare to say that celibacy is a great and tremendous feat nowadays. Why? Because there are too many frickin humans on the planet. Perhaps if you feel like you need a pick me up you may think that you are saving space for others to flourish. That is, you feel the need to procreate. To masturbate? That's different situation, just a waste of good energy.

    Incredible to see many people being celibate for long durations. Hope you all continue to live in a better state of mind!
