Nocturnal?
In time to the church bells on a Sunday?
On your birthday?
Be careful at your age?
Mind your heart?
Just go for it.
It beats working out in a gym

I, personally, only enjoy the act with someone whom I am in love and have some chemistry with; but the world would have never been peopled if that were the rule of thumb!
This whole thing about retaining your bodily fluids reminds me a bit of the American Air Force Commander in Dr Strangelove with Peter Sellers who suspected those Ruskies of interfering with them (the juices), through contaminating the water system. Thus, all things being equal it was justifiable to nuke them!
Any young man with snap in his celery will soon replenish that which is lost (If lost is the right word).
Wow. I trust that was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
Given that the thread had pretty much died and was being had a little fun with, the alternative - that you really were offended - is too bizarre to contemplate. This is a discussion forum, not the United Nations General Assembly, and common courtesy would dictate that a simple, "Hey guys, let's get back to the topic" as Scher actually said, would be a hell of lot more sensible than having a fit of rage about a tiny bit of innocent innuendo.
After, it's hard to discuss sex without innuendo; even by keeping to the subject in hand, I've snuck a couple of tiny ones in.
What you have shown is that some people can't see anything to do with sex as other than a dealy serious subject.
I'd rather consider it fun.
Well, given that the idea is scientifically preposterous, you're right to mention Peter Sellers. I'm pretty sure that all scientific information will merely show that the buildup is removed naturally at night.
Quite how that is supposed to be an improvement on not allowing the emissions to be released during sexual activity remains unknown.
You're just always SO RIGHT, Atheist,
What can I say, We love ya, man
Yes, it is immeasurably difficult to discuss sexual content without innuendos. That, I presume, is why the tenor of the religious thread was geared toward chastity and the benefits thereof. I think it is quite obvious by this digression that chastity allows people also to exercise and practice willpower, thus aiding toward a more classy and intelligent appearance in company. It also frees up the time to pursue other pursuits and thus opens the mind to other things of a nonsexual nature, thus allowing the person to think more logically and reasonably. And surely we have just seen unarguable evidence to that conclusion in this very thread.
No?
So glad to see you back, Isidro.
I'm still confused, though; have I surpassed the "classy ceiling" yet?
I think it is necessary, when examining the benefits of Chastity and Celibacy; to also examine the benifits of "being fruitful; if for only our pleasure rather than the purpose of multiplying" You may note that when God blessed Solomon, David and Job; he did so by providing them with riches and women. The first thing he did in the garden and on the ark was give everyone a mate; I'm sure it wasn't for intellectual conversation.
As to the conversation drifting away from Chastity; I believe it took on a new and quite interesting life of it's own. Perhaps, in hind sight, we should have started it as a different thread. We began with the stregnth it gives one to remain chaste; and we progressed to whether the mere proximity to Sodom, makes one evil. I believe that Abraham could have lived within the city of Sodom and remain faithful to his wife and Gods servant. We were also fortunate enough to have the opportunity to help a much loved friend emote; we were glad to do it and it gave us a chance to consider the evils which perhaps we have only seen in the paper or television.
Sometimes, when examining such intense matters; people must "leave the grave topic and be rowdy for a while" I've seen it often in my work; It is the way we remain mentally balanced.
An interjection:Actually, Three Sparrow's outburst was timely and well-justified because there were too many off-topic, personal posts in the thread at the time - as SoundofMusic herself will also remember, no doubt.
I had to move some of those posts to the Live Chat thread to put the discussion back on track.
Now, let's carry on with the discussion.
Further off-topic posts will be removed from the thread.

I well perceive that my dear soundofmusic, though I also suggest we might start a separate discussion about that. Let me know when you post one, since the original thought was about chastity. Let us then begin a separate one and let me know since I don't always check Lit Net as often as I should.
Obviously.
Um, no, I was dead serious. And angry. Anyway, I hope the discussion will be revived again; the question is something I find interesting.
Thanks Schehazerade, I think should have waited to post until I wasn't so angry, though. Calm and cool usually is my motto, but I guess this thread just got to me.

For the dear God who loveth us,

I suppose the reason the thread did in the first place was because the OP was no longer interested in participating. Not only did I offer evidence to counter the theory being presented as the basis for the argument, I asked the OP questions relating to his interpretation of celibacy and chastity which weren't answered.
If there's actaully anyone around to argue for celibacy, I'll happily take up the argument!
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
The thread might be done, but if anybody does want to add something or read through it, it's probably best for them and the website's image that there isn't a half-page or so of what it had eventually become used for (friends joking around, I guess, in a pretty out-of-place manner)--especially at the end of the thread, which it looked like it was maybe gonna be.

Well gentlemen and Ladies; shall we attempt to discuss Celibacy and Chastity; without discussing sex, per se...Let's give it a shot:
Without sounding biased, I believe that Celibacy and Chastity are particularly well geared toward women. I believe, with women, that sexual intamacy has a great deal to do with the desire to create a desirable home, bear children and feel secure. I meet women every day who are financially secure; yet they feel the need to set up housing with a man
Men, on the other hand, while liking a Chaste woman, Do they like a woman who has never been with a man. Does a man desire a Chaste woman only for his home, to raise his children...Are men comfortable living with a Chaste woman.
We have all heard the attage: A man wants a lady in the kitchen and a ...in the bedroom.
Let us know your thoughts!
Celibacy and chastity are more valued in the east but people are mostly hypocrites and they want to prove what they cannot do. These are highly valued human characteristics but people cannot be so strong to be celibate as they have to be as their religions and books of ethics demand of them.
I do not want to argue that celibacy is really a good virtue, and many people become celibates to show off but in reality they are not.
