Celibacy: Why some
people are opting to live this lifestyle
This
day and age sex which use to be something intimate between to people that care
for one another has become so casual. Virtually a thriving relationship without
sex and seem to be something that we only hear about in rated pg-13 formatted
media for preteens. Many people tend to stop believing in saving themselves for
someone special after that have already engaged in sexual activities. So the
whole hope of waiting until marriage seem to be erased out of their mind set.
However, some individuals are making the choice of straying away from sex until
that special person comes along.
You
maybe asking yourself why after already letting “Thieves rob from your temple”,
but after realizing how sex have changed over the years you maybe thinking
about making the change yourself. For me I haven’t made this choice simply
because of the fact that I know myself and I really don’t know what the future
might hold and don’t want to feel guilty if I had to give into my urges.
However, I do agree with the view of “not having just anyone enter into my body”.
The prefect analogy is see your body as being your home. You wouldn’t let just
anyone come to your house because it’s your sanctuary and only special people
can say they have had the pleasure of your hospitality.
Sex
use to be something the sealed the deal of actual feelings and now. Our
generation don’t mind throwing our stuff from wall to wall everything is highly
sexualized today. Including or children (Read my blog on sex education for more
info about sex ed) so its hard to tell what someone really wants from a
relationship. At one point it was clear when a girlfriend or boyfriend changed from liking
you to falling in absolute love. Now, we have to question feelings many people
can relate to opening up because of love only to realize they were involved in
a game they didn’t even know was being played until they gave away the prize.
This is one reason why a person decides to wait for that special person to come
along. They’re many other reasons involving the epidemic of sexually
transmitted diseases and wanting to go through testing and then come to a point
to complete trust in there partners before engaging in a sexual relationship.
Some are making this decision because of being born again and giving their
lives to the Lord.
We
all know that fornication is spoken about in the bible and many of us feel as
if we failed because we couldn’t wait until marriage. Especially, when marriage
is no longer something promised, or permeant. Ok, Imma be real most of us just
grew up and tried to be grown just to dang on fast. I know I did and I don’t
regret my decisions in life I either learned from them or grew from them one
way or the other. I just believe that it time to erase the stigma of impurity
because a person had sex before marriage. If they want to regain responsibility
in their sex life a wait from vows or someone they know is going to respect
them and their bodies then let them do it freely without holding their past
above their heads. We have all made mistakes in life and like a few people I
hold close to me once said “Everyone has had a hoe moment” Although this
statement might not be 100% true. Everyone has done something they aren’t to
happy about and their past choices shouldn’t prevent them from happiness and if
they feel like a celibate lifestyle is the way to build a strong foundation for
life-long intimacy then simply respect their decision.
