I’ve been celibate for 2.5 years and I’ve recently began to struggle with it. I feel like I’m wasting my youth, but at the same time I know I wouldn’t enjoy hookups :/

if you know you wouldn't enjoy it, then you're just feeling a general FOMO on the social aspect, not the sex. that's completely reasonable, but don't get them mixed up in your head (a lot of people do).

Abstinent* But having difficulty with lust is a very real thing! Many people feel the same way but whenever you finally do reach those goals you became abstinent to achieve you’re going to be so proud of yourself!

What’s your motivation for being celibate? I feel like any advice would depend on the reasoning there

wasting your youth would be handing over your body to people who don’t value it! I’ve never met any one who felt whole after being promiscuous. find your person

If you genuinely want to have sex with someone then you could do a fwb, you would get more time to learn about each other and your likes

The few times I had sex it wasn’t good and I was worried about STDs so I just decided not to engage in any sexual activity until I find a guy I see myself with long term

I think you’re right. It seems fun when I hear people’s stories and I think I feel lame because I have no stories hahaha
