I vote for hot meaningless sex. I think after a certain age you can't find men who arn't looking for the needy mommy syndrome so that keeps me celebate.

oh the irony of it all

If it was still open, I'd say got for celibacy, which, I think includes no masturbation as well...

I'm currently 'abstaining'.

Only from sex though...

I've wondered about that. Does celabacy mean no masterbation? I mean no orgasm at all? Can someone clue me? I know it's a weird question, but.... hell, I just wonder shit sometimes.

I would class celibacy as just no sex, orgasm via other means is acceptable

from Wikipedia:

"Celibacy refers either to being unmarried or to sexual abstinence. A vow of celibacy is a promise not to enter into marriage or engage in sexual intercourse. Some writers use it interchangeably as a synonym for abstinence or chastity.

Some writers on sexuality draw a distinction between abstinence and celibacy, stating that celibacy means refraining from any sexual activity with a partner. They argue that this can be empowering, as it still allows that person to be "sexual" (through, for example, masturbation). This would not, however, be referred to as chaste celibacy, as masturbation is not considered a chaste act.

The term involuntary celibacy refers to lack of sexual intercourse for reasons other than (voluntary) abstinence, e.g. shyness / love-shyness."

I always thought celibacy meant no sexual gratification at all... like priests are *supposed* to be celibate... and always thought abstinence was just no sex, but masturbation or whatever was ok...

That's just me though.

EDIT: actually, now that I think of it (7 and a half seconds later), masturbation is supposed to be a sin as well... so maybe celibacy and abstinence really are the same thing... But I'm not that strong, so I'll draw a line between the two and say I'm abstinent instead of celibate... 'cause there's no way I'm not gonna have an orgasm when I want it. Just not gonna sleep with someone I don't know to get it.

Heyy, couldn't help but find this conversation via Google. I know this was years ago, but anyone still around? Looking for some closure on the subject and you seemed like a good bunch.

Hot Meaningless Sex all the way.

If it's meaningless, then why bother with celibacy? Just do it baby!

During the 5 years I was single before I met Dazza, I'd have gone stir crazy without meaningless sex. I say meaningless because I never met anyone I'd be interested in introducing my kids to, so they obviously weren't very meaningful. I had a friend who was a fuckbuddy for the times when I was 'date poor' which worked out pretty well for both of us, but neither of us wanted to be in a relationship with the other. We still keep in touch although we don't see much of each other.

Oh celibacy for me. My only real experiences of meaningless sex have generally been unpleasant and unsatisfying. *shrugs* I think probably because sex is not something I massively enjoy. With the right person and in the right mood it's wonderful, but I am quite content not to bother with it for years at a time. If you are one of those women who are fortunate enough to orgasm easily and often I suspect it's very different lol.

I don't think i take very much from sex. I mean, I take away the glow of knowing somebody wanted me...but it's pretty much entirely in the head with me. For it to work properly, it has to work up here *points to head* and it's rare to meet a stranger you can instantly mentally bounce off (as the actress said to the bishop).

A guy could spend an hour on physical foreplay and get me no closer to the edge...but if he gets inside my head he can make me come without touching me. All mental.

I can't come without touching - but I can get so close that it doesn't take much more than a breath of air to set me off.

My brain is definitely my sexual organ of choice.
