I'd like to know who here actually does practice abstinence and why? Do you practice celibacy as well?

Answer 1

I do because I'm not married. Passion is there but reason says selfless abstinence is required. There are everyday needs on which to focus instead.

Answer 2

abstinence is very important to me bc that which i view as an intoxicating beverage which has the ability to make me do things i would not otherwise do becomes to me like every other thing that aims to exert control over my life. i believe in doing w/e i do for my own reasons not bc was compelled to do them by someone of something..
and i know they say well you can drink in moderation but i cannot bring myself to accept something i look down upon to enter my body.
as for celibacy its just that its wrong to get too attatched to anyone bc of that reason..in the end the only person u can rely on is yourself and if u sleep with someone and then they let u down....its much harder to leave...also u should share sumthing special with someone u feel strongly about mentally and that would usually be when ur mature enough and willing to stay with that person always.

Answer 3

ME, For religious Reasons

Answer 4

Maybe my English is poor, but I thought they were the same things! I just want to know why you would ask such a personal question. And why would you ask such a superfluous question?
