Why would someone choose to be celibate?

Answer 1

CELIBACYWhy NOT celibacy? Practicing celibacy or being celibate is the abstention of sex (not engaging in sexual activity). There are MANY reasons; religious convictions (being aNun or a Priest), religious beliefs- waiting until marriage to have sex, or to avoidpregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, personal or family values that adhere tothe belief that you should be married before engaging in sex, personal choice; you want to wait for that special someone and get married before being intimate, and other reasons. There is NOTHING wrong with having a close relationship and remaing celibate.It can actually be quite healthy for a relationship. Relationships that are based on sex and not much else are doomed to fail. <<>> AnswerIf their religious befiefs call for it. Some choose it for inner peace believing that it will keep them pure. Some believe sex is the work of the devil and others just don't care for it.
