" Best of luck. I think you have more will power than you think you do... And it's really not that hard to stay true to yourself. It's harder to have to deal with everyone else's misconceptions. I'm sure you will do great. "

" I wish you the best of luck with your abstinence. I know how hard it can be since my "celibacy" has been in place for 8 months now!

" it is one of the most powerful feeling to control the sex instinct. i have started practising celibacy and the boost in my self esteem has been great. i no longer feel enslaved to sex. When the right person comes i will have sex but i dont need to be a slave to sex. "
