Has anyone tried being celibate in the middle of a sexually active relationship?

My boyfriend and I were talking about our definition of love and it lead to his desire to deepen his relationship with God. Basically he wants to be celibate. And honestly I'd like to give it a try. Even though I am not religious and we have been sexually active, I see some advantages to being celibate. Though, I have a feeling that it will only increase how much I think about sex. I am already a perv so I feel like I would be how I was at the beginning of a relationship where every touch is magnified. However I also think it will deepen our relationship and make me fall deeper in love with him to the point where I'm going to want to get married haha. Is that crazy? Does anyone have experience with trying to be celibate? Was it a good thing or bad thing for the relationship, etc?

  • I was in a relationship where my girlfriend told me she’s no longer having sex with me she’s celibate and sex is for married people. We ended up breaking up. Since day one we had been having sex and at first I wanted it more than her then she wanted it more than me and out of nowhere told me she’s done having sex. She would come over her phone would be pinging at least 2-5 times a minute. I began to get the feeling I was being cheated on. If you don’t agree don’t stay because she used god as an excuse too but found out there were other men in the picture.

  • A had a girlfriend who decided she wanted to be celibate. Since that wasn't necessarily my decision, the relationship ended immediately.

  • I don't think you need anyone's opinion about this, really :) If you two want this, Do it. No matter what the other people say. I think it's a great way to deepen your relationship. And no, I don't think it's crazy, I think it's cute. Plus, every touch that you get from each other will be much more appreciated after you two have stopped having sex =)

    Good luck!

  • I fell for it once. Never again. (Until marriage that is)
