My celibacy is starting to feel like abstinence and that depresses me because I don't know if I want to get married. I feel like I lost my virginity at a very young age and so I declared to be celibate until I found someone I loved. Well in my late teens and now in my early 20's it is getting harder and harder to surpress these feelings but I'm really scared. I want to be a commitment free 20 year old but I really don't know how much longer I can hold off. Actually, I tend to clean a lot because of this. Any thoughts or suggestions?

You mention that you want to be commitment free. Well, if you happen to get pregnant because you don't know how much longer you can hold off, then you are in for a major commitment to your child. I think cleaning is a wonderful outlet, so is other physically exerting activities like running or swimming or biking etc. Sometimes using a 1 % hydrocortizone cream on your genitals will help to reduce an itch for sex. I also think actively seeking a mate is a good idea. It says in the Bible, if you burn, then you should marry. So let the potential husbands out there know that you exist. Sometimes knowing you have a plan of action helps to take away the feeling of futility and brings a light to the end of a long, dark tunnel.

Cleaning a lot could be a obsessive compulsive disorder. Or you are just trying to keep your mind occupied. What happened in the past was the past. Just like a game of chess, you should spend more time planning your next move than pondering why your rook was just pwn'ed. In other words, go out and enjoy life. It's ok to be scared, and it's ok to find a cute guy to hang out with, or even romance with. Just be strong and tell him "no" if he tries to mate with you.
