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 didn't realize you can pregger someone and catch STDs by fapping it.

If you can't figure out I was talking about the sex part of celibacy, then I can't help you :p

If you were celibate you wouldn't be spending less time thinking about it, you'd be spending more time.

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

ok, I am game, tally up the great accomplishments of the people that are celibate and then the ones that are not, you'll find that there is a greater ratio of accomplishment per capital on the non celibate side.

Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.
