To be able to focus better on cultivating their soul, some ppl abstained from bodily pleasures, perfomed with or without a third party. The whole idea of celibate is not to feel pleasure of indulgence. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

The whole idea of celibate is not to feel pleasure of indulgence. I think it's got different meanings for different people--like how some "vegetarians" eat fish. The dictionary mentions intercourse specifically, but I think you're right that some people abstain altogether. I call them "nuts." My Legacy

To some celibacy goes even further meaning abstaining from any sexual thoughts. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

I just read that, I always thought it meant not having sex with another person and for me that's what it means. masturbating doesn't count  but you are right, it is whatever's right for the person being celibate. | |

Abstinence - The act or practice of refraining from indulgence in an appetite, as for certain foods, drink, alcoholic beverages, drugs, or sex. (In this case sexual intercourse or other sexual behaviors)
I think this should kinda clear up the difference.... He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

Celibacy = 1: the state of not being married2 a: abstention from sexual intercourse b: abstention by vow from marriage
Celibacy and abstinence are not the same Abstinence = 1: voluntary forbearance especially from indulgence of an appetite or craving or from eating some foods 2 a: habitual abstaining from intoxicating beverages b: abstention from sexual intercourse [Edited 11/30/08 19:22pm] Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer. | |

well, you're not missing much, and you probably have saved money on dating and stuff, or been able to put it to use in different ways. Not saying I'm anti-sex, but the chase and all that can get old - like eating the beans for dinner every day or something.

I did not became smarter like that dude of Seinfeld...instead I learned I enjoyed watching Project Runway...
