    Any celibate folks ? I feel alone, not in a bad way (nothing emotional). Just haven't heard any discussion on celibacy, seem's a bit isolated.

    Hey Climber,
    One definition of celibacy is foregoing all sexual activity for a certain period of time (that is my goal at age 21--that my next orgasm will be on my wedding night [wet dreams not included]). Here, "sexual activity" also includes fantasizing, edging, etc. For those contemplating marriage, dating and romantic feelings don't break their celibacy.

    Another definition includes all the above, but extends it till death, like for priests, nuns, and some others. This also means no romantic behavior like dating (not including truly platonic friends) or doing any activity which has a better than even chance of being arousing.

    As I said, I am a virgin (except for past PMO), and waiting to give my entire self, no strings attached, to the right woman on our marriage night.

    Peace.

    I am thinking also to celibate. I feel that my path seems to be more spiritual but I am still have my doubts. All this it could be just a phase that my brain walk through or maybe I am trying to escape of some psychological patterns (I have read that it could be true except if you are a priest, monk, etc). Until I clear these, I want to stay away from porn, masturbation and sex because I think that the positives are more than negatives.

    I want to be 100% sure if I choose to celibate in my entire life.

    What's your reasons to celibate?

  5. There are some positive effects to sex that I feel are needed by most people, celibacy would be something that can come easy for asexuals. I haven't had sex with a women for 4 years and it'll be almost 5 years after this year, but that was merely by choice not cause I can't pull an random average girl to sleep with in a nightclub or in a coffee shop. I feel like I'm somewhere inbetween wanting quality over quantity and not caring at all, with that being said getting into a relationship with no sex is a bad deal for any man. Right now I choose Seamen retention and thats how I'd like to put it, another way I'd like to put it is "Sexual Transmutation" I've been reading up on it and its something I've always practice, I just didn't know that it was a real thing. I do believe I'd like companionship later on in my life to share some of myself with, but right now you can say I am celibate for a greater purpose. I feel stronger than I was when I was wasting my energy intbetween the last time I had sex till I started nofap... fapping was a better alternative to having sex with women cause its less of a hassle but in the long run fapping with do more harm. I'm not sure if this comment is relevant to this post but it was thoughts that came up when I saw it.

    good stuff

    My reasons are my religious beliefs. My interest is toward men. As a Catholic, I believe that behavior to be sinful.

    I respect of what you are saying and of course I respect the reasons of why you choose celibacy. Spirit has no sex, neither male or female, so I don't believe in sins. Sins are a wonderful technique to produce fears to the crowd.

    Good and bad are meanings that exists inside of us and they are totally different in the people. What you think is bad can be right for me, because we raised in different cultures, countries, beliefs, philosophies, etc. In some countries it is acceptable to eat dogs but in others not. In some countries it is unacceptable the gay people where in others the marriage between the same sex are allowed.

    If someone choose to celibate because the belief system is forces someone to do this, it can be a problem, because it is a suggestion that the individual choose not to make conscious choices. You know what I mean?

    I'm attempting celibacy for the 90 day challenge, as a Buddhist, and I will decide if it something I want to continue afterwards. It seems silly beginning celibacy with a vow, unless you want to be a monk.

    Unfortunately, I've noticed celibacy makes you noticeably more attractive to women... women love detached men.
     
  10. That's the goal. I honestly want to wait till marriage.

    I'm celibate, but not for any religious or marriage-related reason. Sex just isn't part of my lifestyle right now. It's only when something is very normalized that we have to invent a word for people who don't participate. I'm gay, and the hookup scene is not appealing to me, so I'll stay celibate until I find a boyfriend (though looking for one is not a big priority for me right now).

    Don't mind if I become a daily poster here :D I like to share and gather resources pertaining to topics on such matters. So then.....let the celibacy quest begin!

    Yes I am celibate. I am trying to uproot the act of masturbation entirely, as well as elimination of viewing non-nude erotica (not to speak of the heinous dehumanizing kraken that is porn). There is no "rebooting" for this fapstronaut, this is a quest to return to a sexual innonence for me, to become celibate and reserve my sexuality for 'special acts of true love' in marriage.

    Well then I was just thinking of creating a Brahmacharya or Celibacy thread, looks like this one will work.

    Dear Me,

    You have to learn to know and love yourself completely and become a man of self mastery, wisdom, and compassion before the right woman for you will walk into your life.

    Love,

    You

    Celibacy Quest Update

    I am pursuing celibacy for both personal moral reasons and also sublimation and transmutation of sexual energy purposes.

    [​IMG]

    I had a thread going pertaining to sexual energy and transmutation as well as debunking all the modern 'medical studies' on sex and masturbation and ripping apart what mainstream society tells us about sex that was pretty out of control as you may have seen lol, it's just when you discuss these matters on a forum like this people tend to butt their head into the discussion with viewpoints that hold no truth really. Hopefully we can avoid such incidents here.

    'The chaste brain has tremendous energy and gigantic willpower.'

    NSFW:



    This post is for straight male readers who value wisdom over sensuality due to the nature of the talk.

    So we are pursuing celibacy but perhaps not lifelong? Still feeling like we want that special woman in our life and to enjoy a beautiful relationship that benefits each other's lives including a healthy sexual relationship, still attached to sex desire after all we are only men.

    Well that is fine, but keep your eyes on one woman once you enter into a committed relationship!

    Frank Discussions on Sex by Prabhupada

    Prabhupada: No, we... "It is voluntary. In our society we find so many brahmacaris, [celibate students] so many grhasthas [regulated householders] And if you cannot stop this itching sensation, all right, marry one girl and live peacefully like a gentle... What is this nonsense, every three weeks divorce? We are not so rascal. If we accept one girl as my wife, I take full responsibility. Because I require a girl or woman, so this woman, that one... We are not so rascal that at home I have got woman, I am searching after another woman, another naked woman. We are not so madman. The sex pleasure is there at home, and I am seeking after sex pleasure in here, here, in the club, in the... What is that? Is that vagina is different? You are so fool. You require vagina; take one vagina. Be satisfied. And lick it. Why you are going here and there, here and there, here and there? Even old man is going to the nightclub to lick another vagina. Is that civilization? You are proud of your civilization." Tell them like that. "Licking of the vagina, different, obnoxious smell. You are less than the dog. The dog likes to smell the vagina. You are like that. What is business of going another vagina? You require vagina. Take one and be satisfied. That is intelligence. First of all there is no need of vagina. But if you want, take one and be satisfied. Why you are searching after dog vagina, this vagina, that vagina, that vagina? Is that civilization?" Expose them like that. "Your brain is filled with so much stool, so we are washing it. What is the wrong there?"
    Adi-kesava: Actually they all need brainwashing.
    Prabhupada: Yes, "Every one of you require, because your brain is filled up with stool. You have no brain. Brain is covered with stool." What they will answer?
    Satsvarupa: That "If I want to have a stool brain, it may be lamentable, but don't force me to be washed.
    Prabhupada: It is not force. It is no...
    Satsvarupa: Let me remain in stool.
    Prabhupada: We are preaching. It does not mean that we are forcing. We are saying that "Your brain is in stool. Wash it like this. If one agrees, he does it. Not that in our movement all world has joined. One who is intelligent, he has agreed, 'Yes.' I am not forcing. If I would have possessed that forcive power, what right you have got to bring me in the court? You are forcing me to stop this. You are forcing. Nobody can force, but you are forcing." You should take this argument and expose them at least in the court, licking of the vagina civilization, like dog. Yes animals do that.
    Adi-kesava: I think the more strongly we preach in this way, that we don't try to give in and compromise...
    Prabhupada: No, no, no.
    Adi-kesava: The more that everyone will hear about this issue...
    Prabhupada: We must expose them, that's all. This is our business. This is a good opportunity in the court, so that it will be published. People will know what is our philosophy. Licking of vagina civilization, this. Publish.
    Adi-kesava: All right.
    Prabhupada: What they have got anymore, this Western civilization?
    Adi-kesava: They say that they are all actually in despair. They don't see any hope in the future.
    Prabhupada: This is their position.
    Hari-sauri: Their only hope in the future is that we'll eat trash, process trash and...
    Prabhupada: What is that?
    Indian: (Bengali) (break)
    Prabhupada: All, let us sit down here.
    Hari-sauri: In the room?
    Prabhupada: Yes, Gaura-Nitai. Is that argument all right, licking the vagina civilization?
    Prthu-putra: Great.
    Adi-kesava(?): Very bold.
    Hari-sauri: No one's ever talked to them like that.
    Prabhupada: But this is a fact. The old man, seventy-five years old, he's going to lick up another vagina in the club. This is your Western civilization.
    Adi-kesava: Sometimes in New York... You know we live right next to Broadway. The temple is right next to Broadway. Sometimes in New York we see old, old men...
    Prabhupada: And in France it is very... In France you have got.
    Prthu-putra: In France, yes. All the prostitution going on around the temple.
    Adi-kesava: You see even old, old men going to these clubs.
    Hari-sauri: If you can still have sex when you're seventy-five, then you're a great man. Glorified.
    Prabhupada: Just see. This is their civilization. In Paris there are so many clubs. The old men, they first of all pay fifty dollars to enter into the club. Then he selects which vagina he will lick up. Then another payment. I know that. (aside:) No, he can be asked to sit down there.
    Hari-sauri: To sit in the room.
    Prabhupada: Yes. Actually this is the fact. But they are fools. They still like to lick up new vagina. Exactly dogs. We are restricting that "Give up this business, licking of vagina," and they are seeking up to the point of death another vagina, another vagina, another... Which is better? If we say that "Give up this nonsense business," is that brainwash? And if it is brainwash, it is for good. What is this civilization, who is never satisfied? The same business is going on up to the point of death. Our civilization is: "All right, you are attached to vagina-licking. Do it up to fifty years. Then give it up." This is our civilization. "You are so much accustomed to the vagina-licking business--up to fifty years, so long you are young. Then give it... Don't do it anymore." This is our civilization. And that also, after twenty-five years. For twenty-five years teach him, "It is no good business. Brahmacari. Remain alone. You have got so much botheration." If he's still unable: "All right, take one wife. Be satisfied. Lick up one. And then, at the age of fifty years, give up." This is our... Is that wrong?
    Satsvarupa: It's good.
    Hari-sauri: It's great.
    Prabhupada: Because unless you give up this business of vagina-licking, you'll have to be entangled in this body. Either as a dog or as a hog, as a human being or as a demigod, as a tree, as an insect, it will go on. In this way plead. Let the people understand what we are preaching. Advance this philosophy, widely discussed. Then our success.
    Hari-sauri: There's no question this will be widely discussed.
    Prabhupada: And... (someone enters) (Bengali) (break) Smelling the aroma, such a nonsense.
    Hari-sauri: As you say, just like dogs.
    Prabhupada: Hm?
    Hari-sauri: Just like the dogs.
    Prabhupada: Dogs and all animals, smelling vagina. They think, "Here is real pleasure."
    Hari-sauri: There's no need to move around, Srila Prabhupada... (break)
    Prabhupada: They're going for vagina and paying heavy toll: fifty dollars for entering the club, then two hundred dollars for drinking. You know this?
    Hari-sauri: Yes.
    Prabhupada: This is their civilization, vagina civilization. In Florida they go, Miami, to spend money weekly, five hundred, five thousand dollars for naked dance. You know that?
    Hari-sauri: Yes. So many places. Las Vegas. Every big city has...
    Prabhupada: And Brahmananda told me sometimes they see on the stage a fatty woman having sex with an ass. This is exhibited in Mexico. And they enjoy it.
    Hari-sauri: In Europe they have sex fairs.
    Prabhupada: Sex fair? What is that?
    Hari-sauri: You can go, and they have sideshows, men and women having sex on the stage at regular intervals, and they exhibit all kinds of contraptions that you can use to pervert your sex life even more.
    Prabhupada: What they will understand about this Krsna consciousness?
    Hari-sauri: There's not very much hope for them.
    Prabhupada: Help is for everyone, but if they remain stubborn to their own way of life, then it is not possible. They have to wash the brain. Otherwise it is possible.
    Hari-sauri: You explain in the Bhagavatam that everything actually is just an extension of the sex desire.
    Prabhupada: That's it.
    Hari-sauri: Their whole big cities and so much industry...
    Prabhupada: Yes.
    Hari-sauri: ...and work is just simply...
    Prabhupada: For the central point--vagina. Yan maithunadi-grhamedhi-sukham hi tuccham. The other day... Maithunyam agaram ajnah vindati tapan.
    Hari-sauri: Rsabhadeva's instructions. (end)

    [S.P. Room Conversation, February 19, 1977, Mayapura]



    "Don't be a vagina-smelling animal."


    Prabhupada: Everywhere. This male and female, nature's gift that is. Therefore tasyaiva hetoh. These things you'll get.
    Tamala Krsna: Yes. So why use the...?
    Prabhupada: Why you are after these things?
    Tamala Krsna: Hm. Wasting human life.
    Prabhupada: You'll get woman. So be satisfied, the nature's gift of woman, nature's gift of your position, and utilize your life for Krsna consciousness. Why more and more, more, and naked and this way and that way? The other day what did I say? Vagina-licking civilization.
    Bali-mardana: Hm?
    Tamala Krsna: Vagina-licking civilization.
    Prabhupada: They're spending so much money for vagina-looking.
    Tamala Krsna: Oh, that's their whole consciousness.
    Prabhupada: Yes. The money is earned with so hard labor and it is spent for vagina-looking.
    Tamala Krsna: Polished dog society.
    Prabhupada: Yes. Yes, dog also smells the vagina, and they also do the same thing. Therefore nature has arranged that dog are smelling vagina on the street. One vagina and three dozen dogs surrounded.
    Tamala Krsna: Yes. Vrndavana you see that.
    Prabhupada: Yes.
    Tamala Krsna: Now that's going on in America. They are spending money just for that.
    Prabhupada: Yes.
    Tamala Krsna: Three dozen men look at one woman, same business.
    Bali-mardana: And they make big literatures, magazines, everywhere, all over the streets. They put them in the street...
    Tamala Krsna: The big thing now in America, the most popular shop, is called "Adult Books." "Adult Bookshop."
    Hari-sauri: "Adult cinema," "adult this," "adult that."
    Prabhupada: Topless, bottomless. Yan maithunadi-grhamedhi-sukham hi tuccham kanduyanena karayor iva duhkha-duhkham, trpyanti neha krpana bahu-duhkha-bhajah. Bahu-duhkha-bhajah. Krpana. The rascals. Krpana means non-brahmana, without any spiritual knowledge. They are never satisfied, the vagina business. Trpyanti neha krp-- although it is followed by so much miserable condition--bahu-duhkha-bhajah kandutivan manasijam visaheta dhirah. One who is dhira, sober, he tolerates little itching sensation: "What this nonsense?" And if you practice toleration, there will be no more. Finished. You become liberated. Therefore, from the very beginning of life, childhood, this teach him, that "Don't be a vagina-smelling animal." Brahmacari. Brahmacari guru-grhe vasan dantah. To learn how to control the senses, that is brahmacari. Where is that civilization? So establish. Give them food. Give them shelter. Give them knowledge. That is para-upakara, doing welfare to others. But don't be entangled in vagina civilization. Yan maithunadi-grhamedhi-sukham. It is most abominable civilization, tuccham, condemned civilization.

    Sex is overrated man.

    But for people who have never experienced it and had exceptionally satisfying sex, then of course the curiosity and desire to have sex is strong and natural. Mass media has twisted mainstream society's view of sex so viciously I feel a need to straighten it back out in this thread.

    This thread is going to delve deep I am afraid. Nice and easy does it hehe. ;)

    You ain't gonna find too many celibate rich old white men I will tell you that.

    My Father is rich. He read Napolean Hill's classic Think and Grow Rich when he was younger. Is that how he got rich? Hahaha no, wealth comes from past deeds of giving, everything is cause and effect, what you reap is what you sowed in the past. Yes he has an amazing work ethic and interpersonal skills and became a master at playing the stock market, but what he has materially he lacks spiritually. He has a very powerful sex drive which I inherited, for better or worse. I am aiming towards spiritual riches and awakening however as I am disheartened at how short human life is in our world plus most of life is just suffering with moments of pleasure and satisfaction thrown in during periods of respite.

    To each their own faith I ain't givin a frikkin sermon here I just keep shit real, straight up bros.



    If you have nothing good to say about chastity, celibacy, purity, transmutation, and sublimation, please don't say anything in this thread.
