Thoughts on Abstinence & Celibacy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2024
- I keep getting asked about this, so I give my answer in this video.
To summarize, I don't really have an opinion on whether or not people should experiment with abstinence. It's entirely up to the individual.
However, I HAVE noticed that people approach it in different ways, some with much more success than others.
Some essentially refrain from any kind of sexual activity, but still let their minds to dwell on those thoughts. Not to mention that it's hard to avoid the hypersexuality in media (sex sells, as they say). The idea is to channel the sexual frustration you have into productivity or some kind of life improvement.
While it's debatable whether or not this approach has merit, it DOES seem to result in the significant side-effects. Anecdotally, I notice a preoccupation with sex, extreme aggression, and moodiness with individuals that go down this path.
And more interesting (and more difficult) approach, in my opinion, is to abstain from sexual thoughts. This seems to be the approach taught in some monasteries and religious practices. This develops less frustration and also gives us the benefit of training our minds to focus on what we choose, not what we are given.
Anyway, as usual, that's just my opinion. Like I said at the beginning, you can choose to abstinent or not. I respect your choice either way. I'm not recommending one over the other.
Hope everyone is doing well!

Monday's video was delayed for kind of a silly reason. I had about 2 hours to film before the sun set, and I cut my finger on a piece of broken glass. It was nothing serious, but I couldn't move around too much without reopening the wound and dripping blood everywhere. By the time it was healed enough, the sun had set, haha. Blame it on my clumsiness.
Today, I had to choose between doing this video or a 59-second video on knee pain. I went with this, but the knee pain video will be filmed later today!
it might sound weird but if you get a cut, superglue it. I've done this for years and it keeps it from opening up, and it heals faster.
Poor Hampton 😂 wrap you in bubble wrap! We love no matter what you make! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Take care 😊

The thing I like about Hampton is unlike other fitness channels he is not at all arrogant and doesn't have the hyperinflated ego of so many fitness youtubers.

All those intelctuals, philosophers who write one book a year on societies problems yet to me they always seem disconnected from the societies.
.....
Just a thought
@@ConstructiveMinds100 me intelctual me have big brein
I went from complete f-boy to abstinent and I can tell you from experience life is so much more enjoyable when you don't view other people as a quick play toy.
I'm in a similar way and I agree 100%! Now I understand what 'free' means in a much deeper way. Sexual urges and our all-consuming pursuit thereof (to prove ourselves or... what?) can really chain you up. Feels good knowing I can look for a wife and treat women as such and not, as you say, a play thing.
But you need to be an abstinent not to see people as a "quick play toy"?
@@blanqui2040 I wouldn't say so, but I think many people are (I was) completely unbalanced by just trying to get laid. That was my measure of success. For me the best way of getting back in balance was completely removing that from the equation. And just from my experience it feels really good, I don't want to go back. Obviously when I find a girlfriend and we have dated for a few months (at least) I can review that, but casual sex (including getting handsy etc.) is a no thanks from me.
@@ObsessedAwe I do understand that. My point is it should not be necessary to go from one extreme to the other, and it is dangerous to mistake a sexually active life with using sex inappropriately or being addicted to it.
I believe that neither should be claimed because society would end up bringing "shame" to the one that is stigmatised and not claimed or "trendy". I have been within organised religion and this issue is something they always use to vindicate their beliefs, for example. Everyone should be able to live the lifestyle they choose, free from judgement.
If we got rid of all the taboos about sex no one would live a life in which "the more I get laid, the more successful I am".
Sorry for my English

Having sex without releasing is called tantric sex which can balance your masculine and feminine energy boost testosterone help you manifestations and if your partner has good energy it will transfer over to you sex is not a bad thing it's only bad if you release or if you have a partner that has bad energy but if they're at a high vibration it's not bad at all just make sure you don't release so you hold your life force energy even Kevin Gates came out and said that sex is good when you don't release there's benefits that Google won't even tell you because they don't want you to know sex is one of the most healing things ever but like I said they have to have a high vibration

As a single man for almost 2 years now, no big deal : I don't miss sex.
But man... I miss cuddles and the feeling to be alone in the World with someone so much.
Cuddles are some of the best things in this earth
Thanks for confirming what I already know to be true!
I just miss hugs tbh. Just a good 30-second hug. T^T
I miss the intimacy, but learned that the "now let's go be alone together" bit was a dangerous mindset. All of my best relationships actually led me to engage with people more and doubled my circle of friends. The ones that weren't so great usually revolved around staying in every single weekend. I could do that with the former when nothing else interested us that weekend, and it was pleasant, but not healthy when it stopped being the exception.

Hampton looks like he'd explain to you how to hide a dead body in a very friendly and entertaining short video
More like he would talk you down and help examine why you want to bump off the person in the first place. Then he would help you get centered and find an emotionally healthly way of dealing with that person day to day.

It still includes not jerkin it, which single guys (like me) would do a lot. I’ve been one to get pretty addicted to things and it was pretty bad for my mental health and self esteem. I do feel a bit of sexual frustration but I’m not one to try and dwell on it.
Yeah, exactly...🙄
@UZI I suppose I was just speaking more from a guys perspective but yeah Im sure they do! I generally hear its not as common for girls to do it, but that doesnt necessarily mean their perspective is any less important.

How can someone address these problems in such a calm, respectful and rational way on youtube?! I love your content so much Hampton
It really isn't difficult. This is what almost every normal person thinks like.
This is how people who have gotten their lives together and have found inner peace and/or achieved mental wellness address a breadth of serious issues.

Yes! I worked in an office where the men would turn EVERYTHING into a sexual reference. Our society is so over-sexualized and sexually frustrated. “It’s just a tree” Thank you! 👏👏👏
2 years of NOFAP here and still going.
Too many emotional and mental complexities due to competition, bondages, rules etc has made many simple things too complicated. People are no less than objects. Its coincidence I came across Mosuo people can make love with as many people whom they really like and do not force their partner to do things or stay. Its all consensual and decisions are respected. Rape doesnt exist in their society. No one forces the other when they refuse to make love.
@@dorobee Doesn’t sound exactly progressive, sounds like an oppressive society but the other way around.
Porn is fcuking up men in hundred ways
We've managed to somehow _over_ sexualize everything and yet still be weirdly puritanical and shameful about sex and sexuality. It is such a weird, self-feeding loop! Just let the trees be trees!
My eyes see a man made of iron and wire, my soul sees a being of light and warmth. May God bless you even more
Am male. Abstained until I met a girl I really felt I could trust and was serious about me and I was serious about. Felt very lucky to have met her and it's really great for me to say she has been the only one. I get to look her in the eyes and say that and it's really special to me, happiest I've ever been in my life.
Just my anecdotal experience I wanted to share.
That’s really cool man, congrats. Where you her first as well?
Exemplary story. I want to be with someone special and I have abstained so that I'm not just being objective

"If you see an extra curvy tree, remember, its just a tree" this thing killed me!
Right? Me too! ROFL. Gotta love it!
The way he considers it an "honor" to sit down and talk to us... we don't deserve this man
It is about a gift none of us deserve. It is up to the person if they choose to receive or reject the gift. Hampton is a very inspiring young man.
I'm so glad he expressed this in this way. I've often thought about this and tried express it, and all my friends look at me strangely. I wish bodies were only viewed as sexual when there is a consenting sexual context from bother parties. Everything is so saturated in sexual content it's almost mandatory in the media. I am not saying sexual expression is bad or enjoying the view is wrong, but I agree that things are over sexualised these days.

Oh damn that’s a very good way of putting it “bodies only being viewed as sexual when there is consent”. It sounds so simple but it’s so all-encompassingly true.
You're not the strange one. This is absolutely correct. Sexualization makes the world feel aggressive.
Hi Hampton, these non-exercise videos are a great help. You seem so much at peace with yourself and it seems you have a really good perspective on holistic health. Please continue talking about everything under the sun because your calm, your wisdom, and your general demeanor are a joy to witness.

"Someone said they could read minds because of it. I can't prove they can't, but if they can then I feel sorry for them because there are some pretty twisted minds out there."
My thoughts: raccoon bouncing around my brain like an DVD logo
I'll just say: of you can read minds, better don't read mine or you'll end up in a psychiatric ward. Being good is being capable of evil but rejecting it. Being incapable of evil is easier, but it's just being harmless (which isn't meant in a negative way), not consciously good
@@theconcaver9186 the concept would not exist in knowledge, but it could still be at play. This is a philosophical question that's neither answered easily nor conclusively.
@@theconcaver9186 like i said, this would rather be a topic for scores of books, not comments. All i can say: Good and Evil are not the same as Matter-Antimatter duality and doesn't have much in common with it, as this is the only certain duality, you eother try to claim something you actually can't or you confused some things. Going further, good and evil is a deeply philosophical concept that doesn't have a ultimate definition, it means so many different things to different people and even to those, who define it equally, this still opens up further discussions about what can be deduced from the used definition and even this is a still ongoing, probably never finally resolved , topic of debate. You can't make such absolute claims about things that are to complex for humans to even get close to anything resembling an actual agreement on this topic.
@@theconcaver9186 even if it were an existential reality we do not have any way of measuring it. So no, that's not wuat I'm saying. Although i believe that what i said leaves enough room for it to be an existential reapity that we just will never be able to accurately describe. I don't believe it is, but i couldn't entirely rule it out.
U know what i respect ? In this 5 minute video he put his entire day to give u guys the perfect and understandable view from his perspective that is acceptable for all of us at some degree

The sun sets really quickly! Haha. It gets better in the spring and summer.
This was so well spoken and thoughtful. The distinction between controlling sexual actions vs controlling sexual thoughts… that’s profound.
I made a vow of Celibacy, which I upheld for about 2.5 years.
Longer than some, shorter than others.
It was difficult for Me. I met a man that hadn't been with anyone for 9 years; by 2.5 years I was suicidal.
I lost a lot of Joy. I happened to be doing this mostly while I was traveling, and missed out on opportunities that would have led to Friends and Lovers and memorable moments. Without romance (and sex) as a motivating factor, sometimes I would commit to worthwhile endeavors (intensely training instead of going to a bar, for example) but sometimes I would simply lack any serious motivation at all, and sink towards depression. It was often one or the other, so I ended up experiencing a lot of social ostracization, either by choice, or because I was kind of sad and I don't think people wanted Me around. So there were many Lonely Nights, and aside from a special week with someone which ended the 2.5 years (4 months ago at the time of this writing) the stacked up Loneliness still lingers in my Heart, and I Do Feel Desperate to find a Lover, whom I am now seeking.
However, the endeavor made me a stronger person, more in control of myself, and I learned about myself where as I would never have known. I learned my limits (and pushed them). I learned what I Need to be fulfilled, content, and happy. And perhaps most importantly, I learned what I *Need.*
So knowing all this, and having the strength to control myself, I can now seek that out, avoiding (as in, becoming platonic friends/Brothers with) whom I perhaps *Want* but know that I do not *Need.*
So compared to many men, it really wasn't that long a time at all, though I was working very hard every day during that time (rode my bicycle across the country, wrote a book, etcetera) so that made the endeavor quite the struggle for Me, having that reward denied, but somehow having to keep going every day. It was a Lonely Road, but absolutely worthwhile, and I would encourage every man to make similar strides towards self-growth.
Love is the Light at the End of the Tunnel. I *Need* that, with the Right person, and now I know what that looks like, and I am ready to receive it.
Bro u r right... I did it for almost 4 years.... But life looked like very dry....to me at that time. Love makes life colourful
Used to think "man, it's super easy and useful to be abstinent, I should tell all my friends"
turns out I'm just ace
sorry friends
lmao same
Yeah✋
Yo same 😂

ive been practicing celibacy for a few months now. my personal reasons are to heal my sacral chakra by addressing traumas and what sexuality means to me. it has helped me learn the difference between lust and love, and also it helps me discern whether or not another person is addressing me with lust or love. it has thus far been a journey of tapping into my true self, setting healthy boundaries and craving deeper connection with others. if you are on a spiritual journey/ awakening i recommend considering!🌞🌞🌞
Beautifully said!! I’m practicing abstinence for 7 year’s now and i feel like no matter what the world thinks, at least when I find someone, I’ll have my virtue to give and that’s very precious, plus it helps me to be more spiritual but now I learned a even better way to practice abstinence, thanks 🙏🏼 😊
Means someone still has a chance with you. Sorry if it's comes of rude.

It is so great to see so much positivity! One thing I would like to add though is that we cannot control our thoughts. Thoughts come and go on their own. As such, it is quite impossible not to ever think sexual thoughts. The important thing is simply that one does not indulge them. Simply notice them, and then let them go. It is also important not to resist them though, as this just creates more tension in the mind. Have a healthy, happy day!
Ohhh Thank You!
This is a very important thing to remember.
Best mindset for such things imo is : "Everything in moderation".
Even moderation.
@Deenson i think the point was to start with moderate goals and work up from there instead of setting an unreachable goal right from the start
I mean most "bad habits" start in moderation and slowly take over. So even moderation should be in moderation. Gotta draw the line somewhere- balance also deals with balancing extremes.
@@Crispypom For me I avoid the temptation altogether and swear off things like alcohol. As for sex, I stick to sex for marriage
@@acdragonrider omg! I do the same :D
Amen! Once you commit to mental, emotional and physical abstinence, you will gain so much freedom. You will have less distractions and will be able to pursue a greater good or self improvement/fulfillment.
There’s a difference between Passionate Love & Lustful Desire
@Munir When there is tension and all the energy is at the root, and not flowing trough the heart, relaxed
@Munir when someone seems to take the time to show that they care about another person
You can care deeply about a person in a respectful way and also want to rip their clothes off and do ‘em- have we all forgotten how to keep the lizard brain from running our lives? Not every sexual thought has to be acted upon, and to deny oneself the pleasure of such thoughts is ridiculous to me.

Ayo, can we just take a moment and appreciate how Hampton just sits around, without a manager or someone, and just replies to us and talks to us! He's being very generous. And to tell you, it takes a lot to reply to masses and stuff, because it takes energy.
Just like physical intimacy, he decides where and how to share and utilise his time and energy. Much love bro ❤️

Man those are the cleanest thoughts i've heard in a while. You really nailed it, congrats! Love from Argentina.
Wow, I was kind of expecting something very far to one side. You have an extremely nice take on things. It's refreshing. Usually, it feels like whenever I hear an opinion on sex, it's just, “This is great, and anybody who disagrees is uneducated.” There was absolutely no bias in what you were saying. It was just the concrete facts. Thank you.
You also paired your points with your experiences, and it makes it feel much more genuine.
I can easily see why your channel has grown so rapidly. Balanced opinions are such a rare commodity these days. You have a way of expressing them so well!

I've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half and we are waiting until marriage. Best decision ever, because we focus on us, on our goals, on who we are and what we like... Not on our bodies. We know that when we get married we will have time to be intimate in that way, but we can also be intimate in other ways right now and that is beautiful 💕 I've never been more in love in my whole life 😍
Aww that sounds great! I wish you two a happy and long life together❤
Don’t mean to rain on your parade, but I hope you two have talked about sex. Like how often do you think you’ll want it. What kinda stuff do you want tp do? Does one want bjs, but the other doesn’t wanna do it etc. basically, do you think you’re compatible sexually.
I’ve seen too many stories of people waiting, and then they find nothing works in the bedroom. A classic is one person isn’t really interested in sex at all (hence why waiting wasn’t so difficult for that person).
Just make sure you’re on the same page, and don’t just assume it’ll function.
@@mirawenya we have talked about it but not in the way you are discribing, because we are Christians and don't want to cause each other to lust over each other... It is kinda impossible sometimes because of our nature but we work on it, we pray about it and we are good 😊
We are not virgins, we have had sex before when we where younger, we have had our mistakes but now that we are with each other we really want to take care of ourselves because we do really love each other and we want the best for us and our relationship, we want it to last forever.
I know that maybe you can't understand what I'm talking about, but I assure you that we are just fine by now, and we really do want to be intimate someday when we get married, and we will learn from each other's bodies and what we like together, no one is rushing us ❤️ we are just enyoing our boyfriend and girlfriend season ultill we decide to step into marriage, which will happen when we can have enough money to sustain our lives together.
I appreciate your concern!!! 😊 Have a wonderful day
That’s so rare nowadays to see. I only heard from 2 grandparents who were waiting almost a year before got married to share the bed together. Respect to you and God bless you.
Lol you're gonna regret that soooo much when you two realise you aren't sexually compatible and live a life deprived of great sex
Thank you for this video. Being 31 who has stuck with abstinence, I've been ostracized by people especially guys. They get upset and leave or others say I'll die alone. I'm a passionate loving and affectionate person but like you said it starts in the mind; and I don't want to til marriage. I know I'll meet the right one someday. Thank you for the encouragement. 🤗
u are the big brother everyone has been needing their whole life
That last line- "not wasting time and energy on those thoughts-" struck a chord with me. How many good nights of rest have I shirked for a night out? How much time have I spent chatting up girls in class when I could be actually studying? Thanks for this one bro, super inspiring and helpful
This was a major factor in me finally trying to escape my addiction. I was homeschooled and way too often I did not study because I was self-pleasuring or looking at content on my phone. Even though I could've easily completed school work "ahead of pace" I was struggling through multiple subjects in high school because I would get behind from not actually doing the work.
This is a really good video Hampton. My 2 bits is that sex is a natural thing, we shouldn't be afraid of it, that does more harm than good. However, everything in moderation. Everything. On top of this, making your personality about the sexual experiences you have is generally a sign that you don't have much else going on and you may be weak of character if these are with many different people. I'd say, and doctors seem to agree, that sexual activity on a regular but restrained basis with a life partner is a very healthy thing.
This is a really nice take. Though I personally am not abstinent, I try to not let those thoughts or any sexual activity take over my life. It's definitely so much more of discipline and taking on wholesome activities, too. :) Thank you for this!
My biggest take away from this is that Hampton needs to be careful around voluptuous looking trees.
Curvy trees are temptation incarnate.
You're so calm, relaxed, and open minded and thoughtful about everything. I'm subscribing. God bless you man.❤
This channel just keeps getting better and better.
I weight 384 lbs. and I work out because I feed on inspiration and I hunger for change! Weight loss isn’t my goal, developing strong healthy habits are! The weight will disintegrate with how I commit and want to sacrifice! Everyday I repeat this to myself.
Hey there, I noticed how no one else replied to your post. What you are doing is a tremendous step and will mark one of if not the most important decision you made in your life. You yourself know best how difficult that road is but you will (and maybe already did) realize how much happiness and purpose this gives you. Most importantly it will improve your life and make it longer.
I've battled with many demons this past year and still am, everyone has their own battle but there are people who make the decision to fight these demons.
I wish you all the best and to never lose your motivation, you are doing this for yourself and the people that love you, may you live a long and happy life.
I swear your like a anime teacher. Thank you❤️
Dude...big fan of ur hair 😍
The content is also refreshing. I like your easy way of presenting, feels like i m talking to someone i meet on a daily basis...keep it up
I'm cutting it soon! 12 inches off. It'll still be "long," but I'll donate the surplus to Wigs For Kids.
@@HybridCalisthenics Will you grow it out again
Work on yourself. Improve yourself. Increase your worth. Be honest with yourself. You will be amazed at how things fall into place.
Good points. This works exactly like spending money. Discipline is everything and is one of the hardest and not addressed issues not taught in school.
i see where you're coming from, today i strolled upon a tiktok that was advertising a showerhead that promoted its impressive pressurised stream to which i thought nothing of it.. the comments said otherwise.
i'm kinda glad and proud of my mind and i'm content with the way i am now at the moment; whether it is being blissfully ignorant, unaware or pure, i am thankful for the way i am built and how i process my thoughts. i truly believe in establishing a balance between these thoughts though, being deprived of a certain 'thing' like abstinence or may reap some benefits for the long term however there will be some negatives that will arise from doing so, thus i entirely agree with your standpoint, it's just down to the person's preference, entirely up to the individual at hand.
sorry if this was worded weirdly
I agree with what you said dude, tiktok is a weird place for unsavory thoughts to brew
Once he went to a class room, and now it's called therapy
Underrated
@@thefreemonk6938 ha lol
Anyone amused at the thought of Hampton hiking around the woods looking for a thicc tree to photograph?
This guy is absolutely correct just abstaining yourself without having a thought process can foster negativity in your personality and also less focus and dedication in your skill or art also becoming best at something requires more of mental energy and dedication than just physically cutting yourself off with running all the thoughts in back of your mind so it's good to fight all those urges but don't suffer yourself.
Very true,, it's not about pushing yourself to *be* sexually frustrated and train yourself not to give in. It's occupying your mind, time, and money with other soul enriching activities keeping your thoughts on pure and wholesome, may i even say higher, ways of looking at/approaching life. Glory to God for this video.
How is this man so wholesome. I aspire to be this way!!
This man would make a Priest. He just made abstinence sound cool. Something years of religious training never could do.
He is Christian :)
Yup and being Christian is not about being religious but having a personal relationship with God thru Jesus Christ,it effects how u think of what the world say is normal and okay. They tell us to not think much and do whatever comes to mind but we never stop to think like this(I believe one of his first videos goes in further on how he follows Jesus and how that relates to exercise and taking care of your body
@@aoyamiuriko5059 technically Christianity is a religion - read James 1:27

Right here friend.
I’m not abstinent and never plan on being but one of the best things I decided to do since getting back into fitness is quitting p**n. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who want to work toward a goal or quit something toxic in their life.
Thank you, Hampton, for pointing out the importance of mastery over our thought life. It’s often easy to focus only on the external and ignore what’s going on inside, not realizing how much it affects us.
I am surprised you didn't spill any of your coffee! I so injoy your authenticity. Great talk.
You literally helped me with my self confidence. Thank you so much, king.
It was in you all along, my friend. Is there anything else I can do for you?
@@HybridCalisthenics I have bloating stomach problem...
Hampton is the bestfriend that I never had.. 😔😔😔
You have friends?
I used to be a dude who was pretty promiscuous, but I feel a lot better since I've been focusing on myself and abstaining. I feel as though I was disrespecting myself and others by making myself too available.
Things that are valuable are rare, if sexuality is common, it's less valuable. This is just my opinion.
You are a real youtube philosopher. I like your balanced view on fitness, work, other things and life in general. In nature I am also like that, but I guess by trying to get more things done and be more successful I put all these restrictions and obligations on me that only reduced my productivity. You remembered me that I should find a balance in everything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, friend 💪💫
Hampton is seriously considerate of his viewers. How can you not respect this man.
This guy is like the reincarnation of a monk. He just brought all of that calmness and harmony that he gained in his last life with him into this life!
"This won't be a very long video."
Sun is out at start of video but completely down by the end.
as an asexual person this is really interesting to see :) i kind of inherently steer clear from sexual activity but i've never considered how it could affect my health!
The more I learn about you the more pleasant you seem dude. So glad I found this channel again.
This man just makes me feel so calm and at peace with life
