I think it is a matter of channelling the energy to higher centers rather than letting it fester. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I spent 3 months in India at one stretch when I was younger and after coming back I was celibate for over a year, and didn\'t even have sex with myself (if you catch my drift) during that period. It was probably the most fertile time of my life. I wrote poetry, played music all day. I used to look forward to being alone. I lived in a little travel trailer in a friends back yard, and would spend every weekend there alone, reading, meditating, playing music etc. It was great. I remember trying to explain this to a woman I met back then. She asked me how I could be so happy alone. I told her \"mediation.\" She nodded politely. Turns out she thought I\'d said \"medication.\"
I\'m happy with my family now too. I love my wife and kids. Still look forward to time alone though. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Think of celibacy as fasting. Not exactly fun in the usual sense, but still good for you some how.
Cheers,
Bruce
