How do you get started in becoming celibate? I’m in a relationship but sex always ends up hurting me emotionally so I’d just like to quit at least for a while and focus on other things. How do I start

I’ve been celibate my entire life. It just comes down to self control. If I ever have a really intense urge while I’m with her I just take a step back, take my arm off her (or whatever kind of physical contact is happening) and give myself a second to breathe. Not making out helps, because that just opens the door for urges to take over.

probably going to be pretty difficult to do within a relationship, to be honest

She agrees to be celibate as well? Like this is something you both want to do?

Yeah, she does. We have the same beliefs. It’s very important that the other person is on board.

I’d rather not give away personal detail, but we are young, probably at the peak of our drive for reproduction.

I have no problems with sharing stuff about myself, it’s just I won’t get super specific. It’s the point of this app to remain anonymous and I also know I won’t always be viewed positively for some of the stuff I post so I need to be careful
