Would you ever choose to live a life of abstinence (no sex?)

[Csmith8827]

Like no sex. Not even with yourself. (lol @ masturbation)

I used to try to live celibate due to religion but that was a while back and I don't really feel the same way.

I still try to balance it and manage and stuff...like not overindulge but with my pornographic viewing history that's pretty much impossible. hahahaha

 

[WorthlessTrash]

No. We are creatures of pleasure whom desire intimacy.

Though, due to my dysphoria and depression, i no longer desire it or romance.

 

[western_heart]

Not intentionally, I just lose interest for months or years at a time due to trauma and depression. I label myself asexual sometimes

Celibate, me? Hell no, not if there is a blond, red head, or brunette willing and within reach!

 

[Life_and_Death]

Yes I would go without. If I could I'd take it all back and never do it.

 

[mateodolores]

Well, I could go without sex, sure, but masturbation... Nah, I'm too horny for that.

 

[mdmd500]

I don't know if the depression or the antidepressants killed my sex drive, but I'm currently living a celibate life. When I think back to my younger years when I was so horny it really seems like a different person.

 

[makethepainstop]

Any who wasn't super horny when young, must have had something seriously wrong with them.

 

[theboy]

No

 

[lostandempty99]

My sex drive decreases more and more knowing that I'm not my partners type of woman, he likes skinny brunettes, with lots of plastic surgery. I'm the opposite, I feel so worthless about myself and my appearance one of the reasons why I want to die; I struggle to cope with feeling not good enough. He doesn't help me feel ok about myself

I hope for you that you find someone else.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

No sex I can do, I'm basically there right now anyway. Going on 2 years and I don't miss it. Masturbation I couldn't quit entirely. But as far as a partner goes, these days I just want cuddles.

 

[Blue_mist]

Forced to be not by choice though , but not masturbation, it's my only pleasure in my life lol. I'm seriously thinking of stop looking for sex because it's affecting my brain badly very badly. Spending my day looking for sex that's not going to happen and not to mention Mockery and bullying in online dating apps not helping me at all.

 

[deadliftEnjoyer]

No.
But the sexless life choose me

 

[ConstantPain]

100% yes. I not only prefer to never have sex I am repulsed by it. So much victimization occurs because of it. Children, teenagers, and adults are sexually abused, raped, sodomized and trafficked every day. Religion and politics try to exact power from and over it.
It's impossible for me to gain any pleasure from sex, including masturbation.

 

[hungry_ghost]

I already do.

Sex with men repulses me.

Sex with another woman, though? At least I wouldn't feel like a dog or a human blow-up doll.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

Yes, I have already chosen that kind of life because I don't need that crap complicating my already pointless existence. Like, if I happen to be in a good mood and want to experience something pleasurable, I have marijuana and alcohol for that.

There's also junk food too, especially chocolate. Give me a perfectly good Hershey bar to undress, and I'll be in heaven for a few minutes.

 

[BroodingBleu]

I can handle myself as far as sexual desire goes. If I were to come across a partner who was not sexually driven but still wanted the romantic aspect, that'd be cool with me. My sexual appetite for others doesn't really stem too far past just enjoying cuddling and sleeping together.

 

[Linda]

I wouldn't choose it, but I could cope with it. I once had to spend 3 years living and working in a foreign country, and only got to see my husband every 6 months or so. It wasn't ideal, for either or us, but it can be done. If you find yourslf in that situation, and don't want to be in it, I would suggest that you just get on with life, and hope that perhaps circumstances will change. Life is full of surprises.

 

[CuteThing]

no, if i won something in return maybe, but i think thats just giving up pleasure for no reason, ill let my primordial sex instincts take over

 

[orca87]

Absolutely not

 

[damnatio memoriae]

Yes. I am deep in my Catholic faith so I hope to keep myself like this, I don't want to ruin the one thing I still have left and show up to God as a complete mess.
I have had relationships which nearly ended up in sex, but I've either told that I didn't think I was ready to, (before i was brave about my faith in my country) or I just straight up told them that I wanted to stay a virgin. Obviously, none of the relationships arrived anywhere, lol. But that really isn't my concern nor the reason I am in this site. I am perfectly content with being alone forever. My best friend calls that a superpower.

 

[_smile_]

I am simply not capable.

 

[Aesthetic guy]

tons of problems prevent me to have sex... but i beat the shit out of my meat :D

 

[Noise]

My sex drive is already dead, and I don't experience any frustration or have any prospect of changing that. A procreation ritual of animalistic, temporary 2–5-minute pleasure bodily fluid exchange has never appealed to me in the first place. Visual stimulation doesn't invigorate my sex drive, either, it just looks like mindless panting dogs going at it

 

[stoopid]

I had always a extreme sex drive and get psychotic if don't have sex or masturbate.

But to be real, sex can't cover love, I had both but I would exchange sex for ever for cuddling, always. Sex makes happy for a few minutes, getting physical love (like cuddling) gave me always serious peace

 

[kindalone]

It depends. If I can live like a monk in a monastery, then yes. I'd be free of earthly pleasures but also the suffering is gone, too. Being celibate while still having to contend with the problems of the real world seems pointless to me. You get all the bad and none of the good.

 

[AloeGarten]

not intentionally, but im basically living like that anyway, just not by choice. though if i could get rid of sexual desire then i would, its just an annoyance at this point, the desire for intimacy is for me a hunger that can never be sated

 

[Avyn]

I'm already asexual so it would make 0 difference

 

[pharma]

im also asexual so thats another tuesday for me
