with the different terms thrown around, I don't know what exactly is it that I am doing but I can say, I am single, and I am downright avoiding encounters, I do flirt and write this and that in the standard dating sites but I had "sex", (if you want to call it that, because it really wasn't) twice in 4 months.....
and I am scratching the walls... I have to fuck someone, like... right now

Imagine being celibate thinking you can achieve more by doing it but you just keep on browsing gaf and do nothing. So no achievement and no punani. Life = wasted.

isn't their method of relief channeling it into nonsexual things? obviously you wouldn't replace sex with masturbation, you'd replace it with writing a novel or inventing something
it would certainly be a difficult process, but the brain is plastic, and I'm sure after a few years the mechanisms that are connected to sexual desire would be diverted to something else.
I'm confused, are you attempting to support or refute my statement?
Not by choice. My gf just isnt interested in me. 2 years in November.
dude, what?

You struggle to get tight jeans up and over the thighs, not just around the butt like Kim K.
Also no OP I don't.

I assume that you mean to refer to the practice of continence? The concept of celibacy has taken on a lot of other meanings, and this is one of the more common ones. In that case, no. I plan to become a Buddhist monk later in my life, at which point I will have to practice continence, but at this point in my life it is simply impractical. I am effectively celibate, though, in that on account of my plans to become a renunciate I see myself as being single for life as a matter of vocation.

Gaffer makes a thread about not having sex. Gaf spends half the thread arguing about vocabulary.
Seems about right....
Semantics is paramount; how are we supposed to understand each other if we're each accepting different meanings for the same words?
This is fascinating to me. At the risk of derailing the thread, would you care to explain why you wish to become a monk? And why is it impractical now if that is your ultimate aim? I'm simply curious.

You know who didn't nail it? The OP.
I wonder afterward if she is really offended but plays nice for the camera?

I'm not sure exactly how to approach this question. It's an aspiration that I've put at the center of my life, so it's like most other things radiate out from it. It's kind of hard to encapsulate.
But to start from a place of urgency, it's the only way I can see to come to terms with death. That is to say that our habits for finding satisfaction in life are unsustainable, if not entirely unsatisfactory (and I would argue that they are). We're all chasing pleasure and running away from pain, it's a never-ending cycle that blinds us to what's really going on in our lives. And then before we know it we're old and sick on our deathbed, and wishing that we just had a little more time so we can continue living in the only way we know how. Our craving will outlive us, and we'll die unsatisfied. I've had some experiences where I've been confronted with my own mortality and this is the conclusion that I can't avoid. Buddhist practice seems like the most reasonable way to achieve liberation, to become a monk is just to take up a more rigorous form of practice.
And continence isn't practical for me because my libido is pretty substantial. When working with forces of the mind we have to be forgiving and make allowances for our circumstances, otherwise we might make no progress at all while striving for the impossible, gradual change is more sustainable. So instead it's more practical to gradually apply restraint and then to know when not to fight a losing battle. It's not that I see sex as bad or anything, but it's a kind of obsessive thought and a distraction, so it's an obstacle, and as I mentioned before I think obsessions have a way of slowly killing us. So really sex itself wouldn't be bad at all if our perspective on it was different, and if we could approach it in a way that didn't result in us craving it and incorporating it in our endless pursuit of pleasure.

Yeah...practice is a word that is used.
Really though, I did try it once. The first time my wife bit her lip, crawled on top of me and grabbed my junk it was game over. And I've never thought to try it again.
Edit: Though I guess you couldn't call what I was trying to do celibacy, could you?
