As someone who’s 43 and has been celibate for 10 years, I really connect with your message. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and empowering perspective on celibacy and intimacy! It’s refreshing to see someone redefine intimacy in a way that values self-awareness and genuine connection over external validation. Your journey towards self-love and cultivating deep relationships through shared experiences, communication, and self-understanding is inspiring. The analogy between stages of intimacy and life’s personal growth cycles really resonates it’s a reminder that fulfillment often comes from within and that our energy is sacred. Keep sharing your insights; this is a powerful message that so many can benefit from!
Thank you for sharing this part of your journey going forward in your life. I am doing the same myself as far as just self reflecting on me. Knowing who I am and I hope you continue to learn more about yourself.
Hi, Jiabi! Great video again, thank you!! This message ressonated with me as well last year. After a breakup, I started to dive myself into casual sex in order to fill this need of being acepted and loved, but one occasion made me feel like an object and to see the other person as one too... It made me feel really bad about myself and all of that stuff, so I entered celibacy (almost 1 year now). This movement allied to the post-breakup fact was in fact the period I most invested into myself so far: doing things for me, getting to know me better, trying to lighter the weights I carry... and I'm feeling great, honestly. I see so many people investing their energy on this (not talking about the ones that are trying to get a pair), only for the pleasure and it becomes almost like a vicious honestly (I see exactly as you described: a dog running after its tail). Anyway, I wrote a lot rsrs, but there's an intereting book that talks about this ("Think and grow rich, by Napoloen Hill") in which when we stop this chase, we channel this sexual energy into other areas of our life and then we start to glow. I recommend it. Keep going!
Celibacy is certainly a choice. I've considered it from time to time. But I've never had a sexual relationship without connection or it quickly turning into that. There are quite a few atypical situations where in which I would be sexual, but again, there is the need for relation to keep things healthier for all parties. Sex for sex won't get you or anyone else much, but in modernity (and perhaps places in the past?), its hyped up besides the juvenile curiosities most have. I think if people or the spirits involved know eachother, its far more blessed an act. God would not have had sex as a thing without some desire to see us learn. Whether you are still celibate 10 years from now or have children, or whatever the case may be, presuming you're learning and not risking damaging another/being damaged, hopefully you'll find peace and joy in your heart.
i think it is just people feel like they really want to close to each other is by seggy but or its just either that they think physical attractive is so amazing to them that makes them to wanting the seggy with them. i guess so. but yeah mostly women are just typically choose intimacy.

🥺💙 thank you for your support Angel

Respectfully, don't women always choose intimacy over sex?
I'm from a bit of a conservative culture, so maybe this isn't normal.
