Well!
I look back and I realize that last month, I passed an 'abstinent anniversary" making this my twelve year of being chaste since breaking up with my boyfriend at age 21.
I decided then and there to abstain from sex until marriage and I have faithfully kept that vow. It's been twelve years of major changes and my remaining non-sexually active has been a mainstay throughout those changes.
Have you met Lazamataz ?
(just joking)
So what is dating like for a young woman who tells men that she plans to abstain from sex until marriage? I imagine many decent men probably like the idea - so have you become involved with any?
Since you posted your comments, I assume you are open to questions about your personal life....
Here’s a great book I’m sure you could identify with in some way: https://www.amazon.com/Thrill-Chaste-Finding-Fulfillment-Keeping/dp/084991311X
Very inspirational. Thank you for sharing. Please be humble and thankful and look at St. Dominic as a role model. You are very intelligent to increase virtues and very wise to work toward chastity. It is true that young people who are sloppy with their affections are lacking peace and are dealing with tons of stress. Keep up the good work. Prayers.
Congratulations!
I am sure the right man will come into your life, who will appreciate you and be willing to commit to you legally.
Hopefully you will find that special man to share your life with. Sharing and caring is an important part of the life experience.
Of course some people have been practicing abstinence even though they weren’t really trying to. :)
Congratulations and may God bless you for your faithfulness to righteousness.
That was, of course, my first thought.
I only abstain from voting! /typical congressperson
Good for you! I went chaste at 30 years old and will be 65 in about four months.
Isn’t is amazing how much you can get done?
Here is one, does Abstinence mean refraining from just Sexual Intercourse, or any sort of Sexual Practice with the opposite Sex until Marriage?
Just curious.
I’m sure this is really special to you, but what made you think that this would be a place (The web) for you to share such a personal tidbit of information? I might be a really old fart, but truly, this is so far from useful information as to be otherworldly.
Marital Indulgence! Make that your goal. Vive l’ amour, Vive l’ effort!
I’ve often wondered this.
Are you Ann Barnhardt ?
Of course! I haven’t found anyone yet, but I think this is God’s way of telling me that there’s more to life than a relationship.
Sex ruins everything.
I think I’ve got you beat. Even ask my wife!
