Celibacy is, in its strictest definition, the lifestyle of someone who is and is striving to remain unmarried all his/her life. However, the term is often popularly used to describe a state of life where one chooses to abstain from all sexual activities, which is strictly "continence". Often, it is even mixed up with an involuntary or even temporary abstinence from sexual relations – even though celibacy is by definition a freely chosen and permanent state. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How does one achieve intimacy with celibacy? Q. How do you get close to someone, while still maintaining your sentiments about celibacy? How do you get that intense, romantic connection without making it a sexual thing? Asked by L Afrique - Tue Feb 24 16:06:34 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Intimacy, as with having sex, is showing love in other forms besides the spoken language. In other words, how does one show love, without having to physically perform making love - there are many ways. You have to find what works best for you and you partner in your relationship. Some give gifts, others like to hold hands and touch (without having it lead to anything more), others want to go out and do fun things and prepare trips, others like to talk about how much they love you - some like to cook to show you love. A marriage doesn't survive by sex alone - intimacy encompasses a whole lot of other rituals besides just sex.

How many believe that Jesus was celibate in thoughts, words and deeds? Asked by spiritualseeker - Thu Aug 3 01:52:22 2006 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Jesus was totally pure in his intent and deeds, as Ramana Maharshi was, Buddha, Francisco of Assisi and many others, my natural brahmacarya state is a living proof that it is a simple healthy way of life, combined with a spiritual discipline (attention on the breath) and food consisting of only raw fruit and veggies, the clarity of my mind and physical strength are better now (at 46) than they were at 20. Joy is present every day. Answered by ericparoissien - Sun Aug 6 03:58:11 2006 At what point should I celebrate my celibacy?
Q. I'm a 25 year old virgin (probably a virgin for life). At what point should I start celebrating that. Obviously, I want to celebrate being a virgin for life (VfL) before I actually die, and thereby becoming a virgin for life. So upon finding myself reasonably certain of being a virgin for life, (no prospects of ever getting a girlfriend, having never had a woman be interested in me). Is this a good point to demarcate as a end of my virginity in question. Thanks.
