life and can say good things about it?
When I say celibate I mean the cessation of all sexual activity including masturbation.

I'm not celibate now because I'm married. I have to say though that when I was dating my now wife, us being celibate until our wedding night, we developed a strong bond that premarital sexual activity would have impeded.
The result of us waiting was that our sex life together when it started was better due to that strong bond that developed between us prior to our wedding. By the way, we've now had 11 years of marriage with 3 children and our love is getting stronger and stronger every day. So the christian way has given us the awesome not only sexual but personal relationship we enjoy today.
If you don't believe what I'm saying, actually you don't even have to believe the bible, just study psychology in relation to relationships that have started sexual activity too early versus relationships that have waited and see for yourself. I challenge you!

hi, it truly is an truly good question!!! i'm Roman Catholic and that is something I actual were attempting to appreciate for years! between the issues that I desire extra Catholics new about or understood is the Church rule about Roman Catholic clergymen and by no skill being allowed to marry. First there are MARRIED Roman Catholic clergymen! There are over 2 hundred interior the country on my own! Granted they are adult adult males who were ministers in different faiths who switched over to the Catholic faith when they were married, yet I ensue to carry close 2 of those adult adult males who were raised Catholic yet left the church and joined a diverse faith to develop right into a minister yet also get married and characteristic a kinfolk. Then they got here again to the religion of their start and are literally doing what they had to do all alongside, be clergymen yet have a kinfolk as well! second, clergymen were allowed to be married until eventually the 1500's, then the Pope stated that any further no priest should be allowed to be married. there is data that this replaced into not a lot a non secular revelation, yet extra of a economic revelation! at the same time as a Preist died his spouse and kinfolk ought to take products from the church he worked at to live to inform the tale now that he had died and they not had any help or a placd to stay because the living house the clergymen stay in belong to the church. The church replaced into dropping a large number of treasures and the church did not have the money to change the products being taken so the Pope on the on the spot i guess felt he had no genuine selection yet to pass a cannon (regulation) that states that a clergyman can not be married. I for one imagine that this cannon or regulation should be bumped off because the Church is dropping the kind of large quantity of clergymen that we are going to not have a Roman Catholic faith or Church a lot longer if we do not hit upon a thanks to deliver adult adult males again to the Priesthood! source(s): 16 years of marriage to a organisation manger of a tremendous Parish in Chicago

I trained for a year as a catholic priest when i was a young man.
Then as now I realise that celibacy for any reason is a complete joke.
Staying celibate pre-marrage is a personal choice, one that I personally find ludicrous. I have slept with many woman, some good, some bad, some great some terrible. You have to try before you buy.
When you realise that all religions and all religious reasons are just made up stories to help humans live their lives then this type of abstinance is ABSALOOTLY pointless.
It may enrich your life....but great sex is fantastic adn NATURAL and right, whether religious or not, gay or not, solo sexual or not.
To fight your desires is just plain wrong and against nature.
REALLY try and understand what the phrase "MAKE LOVE NOT WAR", means.
Peace my lovemaking friends!

what you mean then is chaste - celibacy is not getting married - and it is completely unnatural. Remember than this was something recommend by St Peter and not by Jesus. As usual organised religion takes all the fun out of things.

Celibacy is the most unnatural of all sexual perversions.
