Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
Often, you may hear or read about staying virginal until marriage. Well, let me tell you about a similar life path - being celibate for life. Here are reasons why you, assuming you are virgin, want to stay celibate for life.
You find women/men a distraction
You are a busy person. You don't have the time to find a partner and settle down, let alone deal with all the mind games that your partner may play on you. You know keeping a girlfriend or boyfriend requires time, effort, and energy, which is why you just don't do it. Instead, you use up your time to do what you have to do and what you want to do, and a relationship is just not one of those things.
You don't want to have sex... ever
You live in a society in which too many young people are having sexual intercourse or contact outside of marriage, effectively making them unsuitable marriage partners for you. You find your own personal beliefs at odds with your peers. The philosophical incompatibility may not resolve in the marriage, and the future children that result may receive conflicting attitudes about marriage. That said, you think that it's impossible to find a virginal spouse, so you give up trying.
Sex is too worldly for you
As a spiritual person, you want to focus more time on the divine and otherworldly things. Marriage and family life are worldly things or secular matters, and sex cannot be separated from marriage.
You are just not attractive enough
You know you are an ugly duckling. You are not attractive physically, and your personality may not attract a lover. You don't have a sense of humor, because every time you try to be funny, you're not funny. And when you don't try to be funny, it feels like people are laughing at you, not with you.
So, what do you think? Do you think these are all reasons why lifelong celibacy is a viable option?

I'm not a virgin by any means, but I think I may take up celibacy out of laziness...
I am celibate but not by my choice. However it looks like Im gonna stay this way till I die so Im looking for a way to accept it :/
There you go. I hope my take is helpful. It is actually written for people like you, changing your mindset and hoping that you won't feel bad about being involuntarily celibate. :)
This would be a curse no human should have to bear
GOD told me make a big family that's what ill do
I wouldn't recommend celibacy, given the proven health benefits of regular sex.
Mmm. Been involuntarily celibate all the way up to age 29 and counting. Haven't had to talk myself into taking the barrel of a shotgun out of my mouth for a while, though, so that much is good.
I'm afraid we aren't all quite so "zen" about it as you are. If you're happy with it then good for you.
people can't even fathom hat you say here. especially the spiritual aspect. that talk is not for the masses... .
I don't find that sexual frustration is helping me religiously, at all. I honestly think that if I had a permissible outlet i. e. marriage, I would be able to concentrate on my religion much more.
I'm guessing your Christian?
I feel the same way. I'm Christian. What's your religion?
@PinkT15 Hey. I'm Muslim. I guessed the author of the MyTake was Christian as Christianity seems to be the main religion which advocates celibacy. Do you plan on remaining celibate or getting married at an early age or anything else? It's interesting to know that both of us experience the same difficulties despite the difference in faith..
I plan to remain celibate until I get married. I don't plan to get married anytime before my 20's which is why it's so hard. I basically have at least another 10 years. What do you plan to do? Does your faith believe in masturbation?
@PinkT15 Go to college. Get an education. Work on postgraduate studies. Do internships. You have a life ahead of you. I am 25, and I strongly urge you to use your youth while you can to study and get ahead in life.
Getting married doesn't prevent you from doing all those things! Unless your faith prohibits birth control, getting married doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to start giving birth to a pair of twins each year!
@PinkT15 I'm 19, and I wish that I didn't have to wait another minute. I want to get married so badly but I'm ridiculously shy in real life and have no idea how to find a husband. Nope, it doesn't, unless you're in a situation in which you are at an immediate risk of falling into fornication or if you're in physical pain. Sadly, this doesn't mean I am successful in staying away from it..
Wow. Is it typical for someone who's Muslim to get married as early as 19? Do you live somewhere that your religion is common? Honestly, I don't really understand where Christians stand on the topic of masturbation. I've looked it up and stuff like that but some say yes others say no. So, I don't really know. But I don't know what religious groups expect, I mean I'd obviously wait until marriage for sex but I couldn't wait for God knows how long for sexual release in general.
@PinkT15 Sure, we can get married as soon as we're biologically ready. I live in the UK actually, so, no, getting married before the age of 20 is definitely not a common thing, but when you're constantly fighting your desires.. I see no other solution.
Yea. I live in the US myself so that's not too common either. But, yea, I don't really see an alternative either.
