Celibacy for Life, Any Thoughts?

[flowerpot21]

 ::blushing::Well, I'm 21 years old, and I've never dated, never had a boyfriend, I've never been kissed (move over, Drew Barrymore). I'm a virgin, and I'm being patient as far as when God will lead me to a helpmate, but I've also been thinking that if God calls upon me to be celibate for life, that'd be okay too...I mean, I wouldn't freak out about it because I trust God with my sexuality. Does anyone else feel the same way? Any thoughts?

I had to go with all caps as the question spurned my terrible ned to be 'had' by another.....

'Go forth and multiply'

[Pokhara]

If you are comfortable with being celibate, then that is fine.  Don't listen to anyone who says differently .

It might help you to know about Clara Meadmore.

Well, there is no sin in remaining single and celibate for the rest of your life, if that's what you want.  You may change your mind later, if you want children, though.  And you may meet that one man you just have to be with everyday, so keep your options open. The "go forth and multiply" verse is directed at the human race as a whole, not specifically at each married couple.

love,

I could never do that I am a bit of a revolving door when it comes to fleshly pleasure, But then again I am defiled. I respect you in avoiding the comforts of another, honestly people aren't worth it enough to want to get close to them. People will alone use and abuse you until your a husk like mr or something worse. Keep your celibacy. Congrates.

Yeah...well I am basically in the same club as you...I think I will forever be alone...

Dont give up any of you. My son is 30 and he has met a wonderful Christian girl who he wants to eventually marry. She is just what I have been praying for for him for years, and If they do marry I couldnt have a better daughter in law.
So, please remember you are very very young yet, give it time and when you do meet the right one you will be glad that you waited for him before you did anything physical. it will be such a gift for him.

it is heartening to know that girls like u exist.

wat i wanna say is: fast forward a few years, and u will regret the "celibate" thing.

the bigger question is, WHY should u be, when everyone else is having fun?

No, SHE will be the one who will be  having fun while all those who have slept around will be regretting it believe me. What Is 'fun; about sleeping around anyway?. it doesnt make anyone happy.Its selfish and destructive.

yep, its not fun. 99% of the people out there are idiots/masochists. take your pick.
lol.

so why are you so concerned about missing out then??

I think it's much too hard to remain alone.  I have been alone for about a year, and it's killing me.  I want a husband...not a boyfriend...a husband.  As you get older, I think it's harder to remain celibate.  I would not recommend it.  I think God wants us to marry, unless we have the self-control to avoid sex, but I personally think that it's very hard.  However, if you can remain celibate until you are married that is the best way.  You are still young.  It is very good to remain pure until married.  You will avoid the emotional hurt and pain that can come from being sexually active and then rejected.  This too often happens.  A good book is by Rebecca St. James about remaining celibate and the hurt caused by the breakup of a relationship.  Someday you will find the right person.  Good luck,

Kristina

I've been celibate 44 of the 49 years since I reached puberty. When you're not over-sexed, it's not really all that difficult. Also, I don't believe in having sex with anyone to whom I'm not married--unlike too many people.
