Autodidact
Intentionally Blank
Well, whatever you say. That's not the issue. Answer my question. Do people that live a life of celibacy not have a fulfilling life? From your post it seems that is what you are saying.
I am not celibate, so can't say for sure. I think that for most people, the most important thing in their life is their intimate loving relationship with a single other person, and to live without that would be less fulfilling than to live with it. As human beings, our love/sex drive is very strong and can be a healthy and beneficial thing, so I think it could be very limiting to cut oneself off from that.
Which is why I imagine that you have not chosen to do so; am I right?
I have heard of some people who have chosen a life of spiritual dedication over a life of personal intimacy, and without knowing more about it, would not want to judge that is not fulfilling for them. I don't know any personally. It's hard to imagine, though, don't you think?
For me it's not so much sex as a true dedicated intimate loving relationship that included physical passion. For me, that's the most fulfilling. I wouldn't want to speak for others, though. I do think my approach is the more common one.
