Celibacy Can Bring Great Things
In a world where you can get a sexual partner faster than a pizza delivery, it has never been easier to play the field. Yet, despite all that swiping right, a surprising number of people are not having sex at all – not for religious reasons, or because they can’t get a date, but because they find that celibacy makes them happier.
Some folks are taking a break to address personal problems, recover from bad dating experiences or change the way they approach relationships.
IT CAN FACILITATE GREATER SELF KNOWING.
Celibacy frees up the time spent dating or seeking a partner, and means we are more often alone, where we can truly listen to our thoughts and feelings
.
IT CAN DEEPEN RELATIONSHIPS.
Ever been with your friends for a night out, but spent the night distracted, thinking about what will happen later when you meet your lover? Or have a friend you are sort of in love with who you can’t relax around? When you are celibate, these barriers to being fully present to others are removed.
IT CAN INCREASE FOCUS.
If you are in a period of life where a big project or opportunity is on the plate, celibacy might give you more headspace, as well as more physical energy to get things done (if your sex life has meant late nights or poor sleep from cohabiting a bed!).
IT CAN INCREASE YOUR SENSE OF AGENCY AND PERSONAL POWER.
If you struggle with willpower, then decide to commit to celibacy? It can help you see that you are in charge of your life and able to make big choices, which could improve your self-esteem.Choosing the boundaries of celibacy can be empowering for people who want to make thoughtful choices about sex.
