Today I am 24 years and 2 years to finish my masters in college. I still have not changed my view on any of this. I know some of you might be saying 'your only a kid and you dont know what life is gonna throw at you' but I am certain 95% sure I dont want women or sex. Why? Ive watched an orgy in my life and a couple who openly participated in 'making love' I wasnt grossed out in any of them but i felt sex was something that would distract me from life. There have been a lot of women in my life that I have met (25-30) who seemed 'nice and 'date able' but they never seemed to step out of the boundaries with rules regarding roles in relationships.


Anyway even if I did change my mind, there would be no point in doing any of this as you'll just die. I think its selfish anyway for me to have children when there are many poor, hungry, and disease plagued children across the world
Are you joining a monastery in service of the poor and hungry? My aunt is a nun and has taken formal vows of celibacy and poverty. I think if you feel like you have a noble purpose, you should pursue it.

On the other hand, if you just don't like dealing with women and find it easier to avoid trying, and the part about diseased and hungry children was simply a way to sound selfless, then never mind.

That's just your aunt's decision, and it's rather an exception than the rule itself. There are plenty of people who decide not to have sex for a prolonged time (months, years, decades, till death, until certain event, ...). And only a small fraction does it to join monastery or because of poor people.

Of course. I am asking the OP if he truly believes he is acting nobly with a purpose to fulfill. If he's an ordinary guy who can't get laid and decided, "Well, to hell with them," that's fine too--just be honest and own it.

now, now. I'm not saying that's this OP intention, honestly I'm not sure which way he is leaning as far as intentions. I DO think he has a right to discuss it just like all these other nonsense 'disaster relationship situations' posted daily on here. BUT if the purpose for people to try and 'convince' him to date or not be celibate, I don't think there's any use for doing that. I guess only he knows what he's trying to do with this thread, LOL.

Great that your acheiving acdemic goals, but to go without sex for a lifetime is just.....inhumane.

Sex, relationships and all that is indeed distracting and takes wayyyyy too much energy.

Deciding not to get married? I can understand that.

Deciding not to procreate? I can understand that, too.

Deciding to be celibate? Does. Not. Compute.

Call it a wild hunch. Besides, I said "if."

Ridiculous, materialistic & superficial. With all your navel-gazing, this is what you come up with?
