Vow of Chastity

Has anyone done it? Why'd you do it? How long did you last? Regrets?

Well, last night at midnight, I began my attempt at it. You can read about it in my journal if you like.

Wish me luck

Good luck! Hey! Try not to suck any dicks on your way to the parking lot!

Sorry, got to put in a Clerks quote where I can

Sorry for killing your thread! It was just a joke...

So I'll give a serious answer. My experiences show that if you are not careful, abstaining can withdraw you from society somewhat. Be sure you are OK with that if you are considering it for the long term (over a year).

And no, no regrets yet!

Well I was picky on who I slept with and I finally did have sex when I was 21. I did it with someone I really loved. I noticed that because I hadn't slept with anyone that people were a bit cold to me and now, it isn't that way at all.

I think it is a great idea, just make sure you can handle it.

Why bother? Arm your desires!

Yeah, I know. It seems to be what I'm getting all the shit for so far LOL.

For me, I'm the kinda girl that doesn't satisfy quite easily. I can masturbate, cum really hard, and still not be satisfied. Sometimes, it gets to the point where I'll call a certain someone to come over until I'm good and done. So I figure if I stop masturbation all together, it'll lessen the chance that I'll give in and call someone.

Piece of cake...after awhile .

Day 3 and I'm still sane

Actually, I'm a lot happier. Don't know if it's because of what I'm doing or because it's Friday or because it's just a really nice day outside... but I'm in a good mood either way

Not on purpose.

i find that 30 days of chaste now and again (including masturbation) is awesome. I'm a guy so it's maybe different, but I bet the results (clear head, lots of creative energy, etc.) are similar. i even notice a difference after like a week, though i haven't had a week of no sex in a very long time

Why do girls do stupid things like this?

I agree with Pebbles. Be picky. Don't settle. Things like that. Know what type of person you want to be with and look for that. That's what I did .... do. As for how long. Um, yeah, well I don't remember.

btw, the type of person you want to be with? Make sure that person can actually exist. I'm just sayin'. Good luck.

I'll seize the Acropolis. They will be able to deny us nothing. Mwahahaha.

.............. I'm not jumping into the chastity boat with you..... But I will be here to throw you a lifesaver if you jump out of the boat and start drowning in sexual frustration!......

Again, I just hope it helps ya out. It sounds nuts to me....but it's not me making the vow. Good luck, hon.

MissMyla, check out Mantak Chia's books on tantra, particularly Healing Love Through the Toa, Culivating Female Sexual Energy. You may find it interesting and helpful.

Here is a

Reveiw of Healing Love through the Tao from his web site.

Once I didn't masturbate for about four months. I actually got to feeling pretty depressed. It has a serious effect on your mental well-being. Not having that release is a lot of stress that builds up. Now I take care of my business on a regular basis. Aside from taking care of #1, I've been chaste for almost six years. Voluntarily for two, then involuntarily for two, and (semi)voluntarily for the last two or so. (By semi I mean that I don't exactly have a security detail outside my bedroom door holding back the restless mob.) Sex with other people is just too much emotional hassle to go about getting, maintaining, and feeling good about.

You can get depressed because of a blockage of your chi. Sexual energy is very powerful and essential to our health and well being. You can release that energy through regular orgasm or you can with practice, transform it into very potent spiritual energy.

Cultivating sexual energy benifits both those who are chaste and sexually active. But if you are chaste it is especially important to channel sexual chi in a healthy way. And if you are active you can learn to acheive multiple orgasms that can last for an hour or more!

Because of stupid boys

ZING!

There has been tempation all around me since I started this... I'm surprising myself with how strong I've been.

By the way, thanks for everyone's words good or bad

Yeah, I'm only now realizing what I'm giving up. It's okay though. Not too bad, really. Just keep the hot girls in panties away from me. It's hard to be in a bed with a girl in her panties and another girl in hot pants and not get to touch. *sigh*

Woe is me.

It is SO hard to feel sorry for you.
