Try going celibate for three weeks. If you can manage to restrain yourself, you will be filled with virile energy and concentration. The Christian religion, St. Paul, Augustine, Christ, the saints, Hindu saddhus, Buddhist monks, Newton, Tesla, Beethoven, Brahms, Thoreau are all advocates of celibacy. Perhaps there's something to it.

"Chastity is the flowering of man; and what are called Genius, Heroism, Holiness, and the like, are but various fruits which succeed it." -Thoreau

Other than the obvious "you can't knock anyone up and you can't catch STDs", I can't think of any other pluses.

I'm not that holy, so I'll indulge, TYVM.

But, do tell me what you'd learn from enlightenment though. And chances are, "celebrate" was mistranslated anyways.

I'm not religious and I can do it for months. I think it's because my other addictions are so strong that they overcome my sexual pleasures.

why choose celibacy in the name of god when clearly god gave the orgasm t obegin with. Not that I'm saying there is a god, but for arguments sake.

i can't currently think of any reason at all that would give me good cause to engage in celibacy.

*POOF* you have the ability to feel like every nerve ending in your body is tingling with pleasure to a level you would give anything to achieve.


Now don't use it.

Well I've done without sex for like, well, as long as I've been alive.

There's another organization that sometimes attempts "contests" to see who can go 3 weeks without masturbating: 4chan.
:shocked:

You just lost the game.

You need to get laid... you've been on AT for like seven years... Maybe that's why you can't get none, mawn?

I don't think any of those people were celibate, with the exception of Saint Augistine. And even he is iffy, but I dunno. I don't think you guys are catching the point.

Did you know that if you hold your breath for 5 minutes straight you start blinking and turn invincible? Try it out!
