Celibacy

[Mysterious Dr. X]

Do any of the inquiring minds know what the effects of short or long term celibacy is on a person's mind, body & spiritual aspects of themselves? It would seem okay if a person decided for themselves to be celibate for the time they decided but for an outside source - say the Catholic Church - to decide that a person should be celibate outside of marriage seems to be when the perversion side of celibacy.

No mystery, Dr. X. We have a celibate 12 3/4 inch dick-wielding bible thumping dude on this board who is living proof of the missing link. At this very moment he is writing 66 stories, much like the bible, for the "Survivor" contest.

Even if the Catholic Church decides for someone that they have to be celibate - how are they going to enforce it? Choosing to be part of a religion that encourages celibacy is still a choice to be celibate. Providing you can get laid, you can choose to give it up whenever you want. Blaming (or relying on) religion is a cop out for not taking personal responsibility for your own sexuality.

I'm more curious about what the effects of actually enforceble celibacy are. Like, not to put too fine a point on it, people who are so ugly their faces look like someone vomited muskrats out of their necks. These poor souls don't have a say in the matter, do they. There's your long term study sample, not someone who believes his/her faith is more important than getting some.

That said, I have no idea. I imagine it varies from person to person.

Here we go...................

To muskrats everywhere, I sincerely apologize. That was cruel and uncalled for.

LOL @ Deborah.... she's right! Now where's Todd....
So going to the thread starter, celibacy outside of marriage... seems like a good enough idea for me. I mean, think of how many jealous husbands/wives would be killing their spouses in revenge! Jealousy is a built in trait, and something I don't think we can overcome that easily.

 

[p_p_man]

I've been celibate now for about ten minutes and I can categorically say it's driving me INSANE!!!

 

[Todd]

[bluntforcemama]

any time you like, i am willing for you to try and change my mind on celebacy

 

[bluntforcemama]

I think you're a bit scared because you KNOW I will change your mind.

 

[Nogard]

Good Lord, for the last time can you idiots get it right. Celibacy means unmarried. thats all.

 

[Guest]

Nogard is a fuck head. He's spoiling all the fun

 

[Todd]

I think you're a bit scared because you KNOW I will change your mind.

Scared? Looking forward to it

 

[LittleRedDevil]

I am a celibate, non-christian young woman. Religion has nothing to do with why I'm celibate. I do it by choice. I'm not saying I will remail so until I'm married. I don't make promises I can't keep.

I guess I'm just waiting for Todd to change his mind on celibacy.

[KillerMuffin]

I'm celibate in my marriage. The StudMuffin's ties to his life are rapidly unravelling as I steadily go more and more insane. Stud, thy name is Eunuch.

 

[ShyGuy68]

KillerMuffin I can't understand how he can keep his hands off you at all! You're a very sexy looking woman!!

nogard you twit..

celibate adjective, noun [C, not gradable]

(a person) not having sexual activity for a long period, esp. because of taking a religious promise to do this

 

[Nogard]

Problem Child; which definition was that in the dictionary, the third or the forth. Read us the first definition that is the one most widely accepted unless you are trying to make a point. politicians do this quite routinely

 

[Pyper]

Nogard, semantics aside, I think the question is about sexual abstinence, not being unmarried. I think you do too, stop trying to stir shit!

 

[Madame Pandora]

Get 'em Pyper.

cel·i·bate (sl-bt)
n.

One who abstains from sexual intercourse, especially by reason of religious vows.
One who is unmarried.
adj.
Abstaining from sexual intercourse, especially by reason of religious vows.
Unmarried; unwed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Latin caelibtus, From caelebs, caelib- unmarried.]
Usage Note: Historically, celibate means only “unmarried”; its use to mean “abstaining from sexual intercourse” is a 20th-century development. But the new sense of the word appears more or less to have displaced the old, and the use of celibate to mean “unmarried” is now almost sure to invite misinterpretation in other than narrowly ecclesiastical contexts. Sixty-eight percent of the Usage Panel rejected the older use in the sentence He remained celibate [unmarried], although he engaged in sexual intercourse.

When you say "that's all", to me it means you believe that that is the only definition.

I think, as it seems most of the folks on this thread also think the most widely accepted definition of the word is the one I gave.

Don't call people idiots if you're only half right.
