How can an asexual, lesbian woman, or a woman who has taken a vow of celibacy punish men who make sexual advances at her? This question is on behalf of all my sisters who simply want to walk or ride a bike to the store and back without men trying to recruit them for lewd and immoral acts. Men don't put up with men doing this to them, so why should women settle for less? Why do men have the luxury of being able to walk down the street and not be seen as a sex object?

Biology. Men are typically more sexually aggressive than women. It's a pain for those of us men who wouldn't mind being hit on by lots of women, but it's how things are. And believe me, it IS NOT a luxury for this society to expect a guy to always break the ice. Men don't put up with men hitting on them because many guys are homophobic. The more civil guys just say, "No thanks, I'm strait." The rednecks and jerks are the ones to blow up. That doesn't make it right. As for punishing them, just be mean. I personally think that it would be best to just tell them upfront that you either don't do guys or don't do anyone, whatever the hypothetical case may be. If a guy's being a jerk or too persistant, that's one thing, but if he's attracted… [cont.] Answered by Vincent - Fri Sep 21 20:47:45 2007 Is it possible for your body to revert back to the way it was when you were a virgin after years of celibacy? Q. I'm a non-virgin, who has taken an eternal vow of celibacy. My personal definition of is no sex, masterbation, kissing(until marrage), no actions of which can arouse sexual feelings or desires, no homosexual activities, and reframing from sexual media. I had no choise in the matter of becoming "un-pure" and now by Church and personal standard I have become "pure". No one has told me this is possible, but out of curiosity.

Q. I lost my virginity at the age of 14. I was sexually active from the ages of 16 until I was 22. Then, I was celibate for 5 years. When I recently had sex for the first time in 5 years, I was very tight and I bled a little. It was painful, too. Is this common for people who are long time celibate? Asked by diva - Sun Dec 21 20:34:13 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes. I never "sleep around" I only had sex when I was in committed relationships (now I am married). When there would be a big break in between relationships, and we would finally have sex, it was always a little tight and painful...like losing my virginity all over again! Totally normal.
