Before you guys open with "LOL GAFMAN", realize that Isaac Newton practiced this lifestyle and he was the most productive man who ever lived. If you consider that the brain has a way of refocusing its unused energies into other areas, it makes sense.

And I'm talking about practicing it by choice, making it a life decision, none of this "boo hoo can't get laid" nonsense, otherwise you're jamming up your mind with frustration and all of these sexual thoughts without any of the satisfaction.

I'd do it if I lived in a small farming village or someshit. Too many opportunities in the city, too many distractions, but it's really not worth the stress, would be way easier to just say "fuck sex, fuck relationships, gonna commit myself to ____ instead"

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I did, until I didn't.

 

[Pein]

Isaac newton was a big nerd, that's why he didn't get laid.

 

[KevinCow]

Yes. That's my excuse.

 

[brianjones]

i dont practice it.. it just comes naturally

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

I did, until I didn't.

First post nails it.

 

[Sethos]

Someone should post pictures and GIFs of hot women.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Nah I'm good. You have fun with that though.

 

[alternade]

Yes i'm practicing...................

 

[KissVibes]

Not by choice.


I've been deeply considering anonymous sex with craigslist strangers since I'm getting up in age.

 

[Admiral Bone to Pick]

If that were the case, eunuchs would (supposedly) be history's most accomplished people.

Varys doesn't count.

dude invented calculus, he could have got laid if he wanted to

 

[water_wendi]

Celibacy just sounds so boring. Now chastity on the other hand..

[CornBurrito]

Realize that Isaac Newton practiced this lifestyle and he was the most productive man who ever lived."

Citation needed.

Not for the celibate part. But for the claim that he was the MOST PRODUCTIVE man ever.

 

[lush]

That goes against #YOLO, so no.

 

[Emily Chu]

you know basically the end result of anything is reproduction right ?

the whole world/society is Acme inc and you are wilde E coyote

and the pussy is the meep meep bird

 

[aceface]

Isaac Newton also believed in alchemy. Really the best role model?

 

[EleventhDoctor]

I'm married, so yes.

that's what I mean, the other definition sounds outdated

Nothing turns women on like derivatives.

 

[scar tissue]

Involuntarily. I hear there is an actual portmanteau for this kind of stuff: incel

 

[Koopakiller]

math was sexy back then

 

[kswiston]

Newton wasn't exactly a normal person with a normal personality. From what I have read, he was a pretty eccentric guy, even for a scientist/philosopher. If he was alive today, he would probably be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.

 

[Fusebox]

How do you practice something that involves not doing something?

 

[Zoramon089]

I'm not sure celibacy was the reason for Newtons productivity...

 

[water_wendi]

Isaac Newton also believed in alchemy. Really the best role model?

The alchemists were proto-chemists so i view those of that profession in relatively high regard. Even if the science isnt there yet the technology is just as important.

 

[Mobius 1]

Nikola Tesla was also celibate.

 

[Reuenthal]

If you can have sex with the laws of nature, and discover their G-spot and make them cum, then sex with human being sounds so mundane.

But we are not Isaac Newton.

 

[Mully]

 

[Koopakiller]

Nikola Tesla was also celibate.

and the only man to rival Newton

these two were onto something...

 

[johnny_park]

Look how productive A.C Green was. He was a virgin until the age of 39.

[dreamcastmaster]

I'm married, so yes.

Haha, ouch.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Mully after the shakira thread no one is safe.

Be careful brother.

 

[Koopakiller]

Green is known as deeply religious and is well known for proclaiming that he began and ended his NBA career as a virgin. During his playing days, his teammates would frequently send women to tempt him to compromise his morals. Instead, Green would respond by calmly quoting scripture

Fucking badass

 

[jerry1594]

The two things going on here at the same time make for a greatly amusing thread.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Fucking badass

Yeah sounds like a fun guy. Nothing says PARTY like quoting scripture.

 

[water_wendi]

that's what I mean, the other definition sounds outdated

Hmmm.. yeah, i dont think you get what i mean lol

 

[freenudemacusers]

I'm married, so yes.

answer stolen!

[Mully]

 

[Stridone]

Fucking badass

More like fucking waste of fine women

 

[sfedai0]

Somehow I fee,l were I to embrace celibacy, the opposite would occur and I would actually become even dumber.

 

[kswiston]

I'm not sure celibacy was the reason for Newtons productivity...

He was productive because he was a genius who barely associated with other people, and spent every waking moment working. Not posting on GAF and surfing the internet would probably do more for your productivity and life achievements than not having sex.

Being married, I probably spend an hour or two a week having sex. An extra 100 hours a year isn't going to make much of a difference. If I started learning a language in that time, I might be fluent in a decade or two. Realistically, I'd save more time if I stopped bring books or my phone with me to the toilet.

It's Mully's and Setho's fault if this thread gets locked.

 

[Like the hat?]

my kids don't let me have sex currently.

 

[kswiston]

Nikola Tesla was also celibate.

Tesla had his pigeon. That was all he needed.
