      I've been celibate for almost 2 years. What led me to celibacy was making a lot of mistakes with men. I kept choosing the wrong men, and I had a child with a man who didn't want the child or me. It was and is difficult to care for a child with no help from the father and no support system. I had a brwakdown. I was at a very low point. That opened my eyes and made me realize that I need to stop giving my body to men who don't value me.

      My man, says Hi, by the way. We've been together 21 years and counting. And he's supportive of celibacy!
      He always used to say, "Honey, there are so many other things to life than just intimacy. There is whole world out there that I want to show you."
      That's one of the last few good ones! He's a keeper!
      And he would definitely not go on social media and harass women. That is something he would not do. I consider myself lucky for that.
      Spirituality has been a part of my life since I was 19 years old. I grew up with a mom and Dad who was physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive who imposed limited belief systems on me. God was my light in a time of darkness. So yes, meeting a kind, loving, gentle man and having a career was my way out of that darkness. But on the other hand, as an educated women, a successful career was my ultimate destiny ,ordained by God, and I am fully in belief of that.

    Social norms can be so toxic sometimes! “Why aren’t you mindlessly dating and exchanging your sexual energy with people you barely know?” “Why don’t you drink poison?” “Why don’t you procreate even though you haven’t done any self-work (mentally emotionally, spiritually, socially), don’t have the proper support network, financially secure, etc?
    I stopped drinking 5 years ago and I’ve been celibate for 8 years without children. Even without having been in toxic relationships, just focusing on self has been so beneficial for my spiritual maturity and overall well-being. Self-neglect runs rampant in relationships and it’s surprising how much potential and purpose goes untapped when you’re focused too much on another outside yourself.

    There's a lot of pressure on anybody to be in a relationship or be married! It's a monumental social shift to uphold being single as a valid life choice. You have to dismantle centuries of wedlock and intimacy being the sought after and accepted. Centuries! And to be honest, I don't know if singleness is genuinely a choice for a lot of people or whether it's what someone feels they NEED to access in order to be at peace. It's just seems like a lot of people are glad to be single because they are avoiding the drama of a possible bad relationship; they aren't exactly expressing the benefits directly related to singleness (like how you get more time to know and discover yourself). This is just such a critical topic. It's very physiologically deep.

      @@eyeinsee Why is there so much concern about women being single, but not men? Statistically, single women are often better off than single men. Many of the standards women have in relationships aren’t unreasonable-it’s just that a significant number of men hold misogynistic views, which understandably discourages many women from pursuing relationships. Historically, men benefited from not having to be decent partners because societal expectations were lower. Today, women expect more, but many men resist changing because they see how previous generations got away with not being better partners and still managed to be in relationships.

      @@marlyb176 I can actually understand burning out from constant mistreatment and I feel bad that things have gotten that bad. But in my personal experience I have seen a ton of quality dudes go through break ups and divorce because their significant other just wanted more. Now maybe living in a four bedroom house with your bachelors degree is your idea of happiness but it just seems like superficial meaningless success. I know not all situations are the same and that men can be disgusting but sometimes women can be unrealistic and will ruin lives in pursuit of a goal that won’t make her happy.

    I have embraced celibacy for over a decade, which extends beyond a spiritual commitment to a comprehensive lifestyle choice rooted in my value system. This decision reflects my dedication to being more selective about the type of man I allow into my inner circle, ensuring that any potential partner aligns with my principles and respects my personal boundaries.

      Although I understand & agree with your point of view, love! The generation of women before us lived in a time where being as chase as possible was "the norm". However, if you actually talk to the older women, a lot of them will mention what they went thru with men in relationships! Most of the convos I've had, esp from older married ppl, there was so much that they just allowed, kept quiet about etc. Of course, some ppl will quickly use the typical "well those were different times etc" to deflect. But my great grandmother was "given away" to a 32 year old man. She was only 14 & a virgin. This was very common during that time. He consistently cheated on her & had 3 separate families on the side. I worked in assisted living facilities & the messed up things that I heard were no joke. Fast forward today, I honestly don't see a huge difference except for women actually have some rights! Yes, we have the hookup culture nowadays! However, I still feel that both parties need to be honest about what they want or leave ppl alone, but that won't happen! I've been celibate myself so I'm speaking from experience! I think it ultimately depends on good men & women vetting each other & ppl respecting each other. You can be an amazing person, but you will mean absolutely nothing to the wrong person! Sorry for my long comment btw.

But then I took it as GOD was trying to tell me something and I fasted, prayed and sure enough a month later my then Bf brother told me he had caught sd well by then I wasn't having sec with him anymore so I thank GOD for his warning and since I have been getting closer to him and an healed from trauma trust me you will not regret it 🙏🏽

    Sex outside of marriage is a sin and no one gains from it. That’s why GOD said be married first and committed to 1 man. I am going on 1 year and I will not have sex until I married. GOD knew just having casual sex would be a detriment to all parties involve and that’s why he called it fornicating.
