Reasons Not to Have Sex

In most modern-day societies, the idea of not having sex may sound preposterous. After all, isn’t physical intimacy one of the key ingredients of a healthy and fulfilling life? Well, if that’s the case, then we stumble upon a problem, as the visibility of sexuality and eroticism only increases in this age, the frequency of sexual intercourse actually decreases.
Recent numbers suggest that people, especially young men, are having less sex than before. So, if we put such a high value on sex and view it as a life necessity, we could say that an increasing number of people are deprived of something essential. But is this truly the case?
Do we need sex as much as we think we do? And could not having sex even be beneficial to us? The purpose of this video is not to discourage lovemaking or to shame those who do it. It’s simply an exploration of reasons not to engage in the “pleasure of all pleasures:” sex.

Been celibate now for almost 9 years. I get flare ups of wanting a relationship, but I know I'm not capable of sharing myself fully with another person, so it would become unhealthy very quickly.

I could never imagine having sex with someone just for the "fun" of it, doing it with strangers or people you barely know, it feels like you lose part of yourself if you can give your body away so easily, which is why I will only ever be intimate with someone I truly love, and the feelings are mutual.

[@Millixxxxxx]

I wholeheartedly agree. I only have sex with people I can imagine having a kid with. Because, even though there a multiple forms of birth control, 1) they are never 100 % safe and 2) creating a new life together is, in essence, the point of sex. This opinion has brought me to the incredible body count of 1 at age 25. Do I feel bad about my low body count? Not at all. In fact, I think it's pretty gross to think about your sexual partners as just "bodies" and I can't shake the feeling I'd feel cheap and hurt if I had sex with a stranger or someone I had no true connection with.

I had my first sex a few months ago with a close friend (also a virgin at the time), and we planned it to make everything memorable. We rented a place far away from the city in a winter forest. Initially, both of us were excited about the sexual adventures we were gonna have, but then sex became just one of the pleasant memories we from the trip. It wasn't better than everything else we did on the trip -- the walks in the forest, stargazing, philosophical talks till dawn, cooking, -- it was just part of it. Honestly, waiting for what a lot of people would consider a long time was one of the best decisions for me. A lot of people used to ask me why I was a virgin, that I'm missing out or just to get over with it, and that's the main problem in my opinion.

If I may ask, why do you think that is the case with you personally? There are those who believe that is the denial of one's own natural sexuality, while others think it's a disorder caused by shame of sexuality, anxiety or sexual abuse.

I'm not asexual since I do hope to find a special someone one day, but I just don't have the desire to have sex with anyone I don't view as a potential partner (demisexual, if you prefer that term).

[@aarong1092]

@barrytelesford5265 Being a virgin does not bother me. As I've stated, I'm demisexual, which means it's near impossible for me to feel sexual attraction without forming a deep connection with someone first. As for the "hope", I've struggled with interpersonal relationships my whole life. I hope to find some good friends and a life long companion, not get laid. If I wanted to do that, Tinder and Grindr make it trivial to do so. Not having sex is totally fine, but loneliness is not.

This is an interesting and debatable subject but my story is that im an older woman and before i met this guy who I thought i was in love with, i was celibate for 20 yrs. It just happened after a breakup with another guy. I found being celibate was easy for me. I had a fulfilling life, didn't crave intimacy and found it somehow freeing. Ive chosen to go back to being celibate. I find it not to be a priority nor crave it. I think one learns alot about themselves by being celibate but i must say that the best reason now for me is my relationship with my higher power. Im not religious per se but highly spiritual. I would rather be in a loving marriage first if i were to break my celibacy. By the way, the most recent relationship i left was because he adamantly told me he did not love me. He just wanted sex. My integrity and self worth was challenged. This will not happen again!!! I choose celibacy. Thank you for sharing this!

I think that some people who look at sex as an itch to scratch (based on my experience with an ex who described it as exactly that), are people who barely enjoy sex at all or use it as a means of self-service, rather than lovemaking. There's nothing wrong with choosing to be celibate. I think people should figure out what's right for them, so long as they aren't hurting anyone. I think someone like Tesla would agree with the concept of experimentation being necessary to understand anything. That applies to the self as well.

For over 6 years, I deliberately chose not to engage in sexual intercourse or relationships, and it has truly been the most fulfilling period of my life. During this time, I successfully earned my Doctoral degree, made significant gains in the crypto market, and relocated my work to a city of my preference. I discovered genuine happiness when I intentionally shifted my focus away from sex, intimacy, and emotional connections with the opposite gender. This redirection of my energy allowed me to achieve important milestones in my life. It has also granted me the freedom to dress and style my hair and beard in a way that makes me feel comfortable, without the pressure of impressing others with my appearance. For me, being in any form of a relationship feels vulnerable and limiting, while embracing singledom embodies true freedom, creativity, reflection and accomplishment.

In one night, in less then an hour she went from talking of marriage and how perfect I was to insisting she didn't want a kid by me and wouldn't let me see it if she was pregnant.

Personally, I feel like denying an entire part of my humanity isn't something I wish to do, however in essence, what I got from this video is to take things in moderation and that it should be the case for every aspect of our lives. Through seeing the anecdotes of people that go to the extreme ends of pleasure, spirituality, studies, etc., I personally conclude that we just need to find a healthy balance, that solitude, spirituality, sexual desires, entertainment and social interactions should all coexist in harmony. Though that's a lot harder said than done.

[@LordNuDTru]

Sexual control is needed badly not sexual ELIMINATION only from the public sphere...It should be private in all its exhibitions/parlances.

[@clivegable9387]

You are a very wize person 🙏

[@rkhmnarf]

Yeah, that's what I think about this too

[@stephenhughes5156]

I haven't had sex for the last 3 years (except for 1 time), but that's not because I'm against it- I'm just not that bothered about it and happy just living my life. Of course, things could change, and I am open to that. But that's they key. Not getting caught up in dogma. Being willing to change with the seasons of life etc. Nothing wrong with sex, in fact in can be a Beautiful experience- much like reading a good book, or listening to music, or watching a sunset can be. But it's not something you NEED, and certainly not something you need every single day like most people think.

the ‚middle way‘.

[@SM_MEX]

Im only 14 but already people at my age put WAY too much pressure on doing things such as finding a girlfriend, hooking up, and a lot more. I dont see the point yet. Everyone thats doing all that is still a kid and I feel like theyre wasting theyre time as a kid just to feel some kind of satisfaction.

[@the_viper_mc4404]

sex is just a stupid pleasure act. We don't need girls I don't care if it's not Alpha or some crap.

[@PawaniGupta-hu8uj]

Very good video... I always intuitively thought that the less I scratch, the less it itches

[@tonydraht]

I personally only really follow one rule with sex or relationships in general. Don't do it with someone you wouldn't want a child with. Everything else falls into place accordingly, at least in my experience.

[@anonimettalontana4944]

But wouldn't you have to know that person for quite some time to make that observation?

[@sal_thee_man]

Pretty solid way to approach it

[@tonydraht]

@@anonimettalontana4944 thats exactly the point

[@peterjoyfilms]

Cringe

[@SylviaRustyFae]

I mean, im ace and simply dont desire sex... But the one person i wud have sex with is my fiance; and i dont want to have a child with faer. Simply bcuz neither of us wants kids rn. Maybe some day (tho thru adoption or fostering instd), but not rn. However... There is a practically 0% chance of pregnancy occurring given both of us are on HRT amd fae has an IUD. And were pregnancy to occur then we wud abort bcuz of past miscarriages as well as simply not having a body that isnt chronically ill and thus not having a body that can healthily deal with pregnancy. But by your logic my reason for not having sex with faer shud be the desire to not have a child despite that being an impossibility. Heck, this isnt even getting into the topic of cis gays and cis lesbians who uh... Literally cant have a kid with the person thru the sexual means, but by your logic shudnt have sex unless they wud want to have kids xD

[@satnamo]

A simple test of the claim that Pleasure outweighs pain in this world Is to compare the feelings of the animal That is devouring another animal To those feelings of the animal That is being devoured. Pleasure is not always as pleasurable as we think; But pain is so much more painful than we think.

Schopenhauerian logic 👍

[@MarcLowe]

Wow…. Lots of very interesting perspectives and comments here I’ve been reading, but this comment in particular hit me hard. Indeed, indeed. Can be applied not only to the act itself, but to the psychology around getting it, both inside and outside of relationships (I was in a very toxic one for four years that ended badly, so…).

[@specialK312]

this comment was very well put together. good job. upvote

[@SelectKiko]

Go eat warm raw meat with your bare hands and tell me that it's more pleasurable than a nice flan

[@mabd7340]

It's not his thought. Its Schopenhauer words. He just copied it

[@anskubansku5614]

As someone who has been virgin my whole life, sex feels like an unknown path not to step in. And it's weird to be the inexperienced one in this society and it's people, where having sex has become pretty normalized. I personally think that there's no need to rush things. That's why I would say that waiting until u find it comfortable to get intimate with someone is the best possible decision for anyone that's not ready yet. Also, the whole idea of sex has become some enjoyable act, when sex was originally very intimate union between two people where they become one flesh sharing one's feeling and traumas. It was only meant for two people who are willing to be there for each other, so anything else like sharing it and making it gross is just ridiculous. Of course people are different, but spreading it all over the internet has already done its bad influence to collective and more younger people get harmed by certain type of sexual content. The society won't teach us the importance of love and respect during sex. It will only make sure most of us knows how important is the protection during sex to avoid any mistakes. Not going to forget about letting every single man know how to waste their time watching sexual content while satisfying themselves instead of actually doing something important and meaningful in this lifetime.

[@samir.ahmad.]

You're totally right. I'm a man and agree with what you've said about men watching sexual content. I myself had watched such stuff just for knowledge and sometimes because of the urge. But now l know that its made to be addictive and restrain from such things.

[@mokryfriz3344]

wow such a great video !!

[@Mariamaija]

You can easily have sex without experiencing the feeling of intimacy. My most intimate moments have rarely been experienced while having sex, but instead in meatings and conversations with people where a connection was felt so deeply the encounter became unforgettable

[@timetoreason181]

Agree! But most ask for it, and they say they need it. I am a man telling you.

[@bleachedout805]

I've never had sex. I'm a 30 yr old virgin. Chastity for me is a mark of my ability to defend myself. I grew up with predators and the only women who weren't virgins were married or prostitutes. Too many people don't get my boundries or why I value emotional connection over physical attraction because they never had to physically protect their bodies from harm. I work with men who are rape and trauma survivors as well as women and they get it. But the everyday entitled man or woman doesn't. Sex is just a fix or a way to validate themselves. I think not having a connection to community is partly to blame.

[@lordescanor8232]

bullshit these people are to blame or more like society and teachers and all else that is responsible, it is the lack of religion that brought people to their lust.... so many are corrupted, but i am glad i am not one of them, right now i reached 30 days of semen retention without touching or watching! I am still a virgin tho (not by choice lmfo) Sex is for a person that you truly love as a person anything else will be destructive and is doomed to fail as it doesnt have the protection from god, but people these days are corrupted and so entitled, they dont value things that should be valued, but they will get what they deserve, you cant ignore nature and god I am very interested, men that got raped? Lmfo can you tell me more about that? Like did they get raped as a child? I would understand that, but not anything else, as for women this is a different subject for sure!

[@gavabundo_0072]

The average human reproduces more, thus the average human is the entitled, self-absorbed that lies to get meaningless sex.

Hi ❤❤❤❤

[@aspiknf]

I am 30 years old and I had sex with two women when I was 20 years old. One of the women was 25 years old and the other woman was 38 years old. I caught Genital Herpes from the 38 year old woman.

[@DesolateSolitude]

This is a interesting topic/video.

[@parbatiaikat1471]

This video is a perfect consolation for a long time single like me 😅... feeling good after watching this... thank you for sharing!!!

[@MaraXipe]

Well, I'm asexual and this is my experience. I can't feel any pleasure or curiosity about sex, when I was younger I thought I was born broken because of my lack of motivation about sex. Then, I just stopped thinking about it and I began to practice Buddhism. Now I feel better about myself and I think this is the best decision of my life!

[@Purplegiant1997]

Good for you!

[@theoxymoron8793]

[@SpacePellets]

I waited until 26 and went after the right one. I learned through other people's mistakes and held on to my stubborn beliefs and never compromised for anything less than what I expect from myself. Then again I had a little bit of help with my intuition to not only predict my future partner but also who to stay away from.

[@SuperAnimecity]

Are you the future version of me. I'm going to be 24 soon lol

[@AbdulrahmanAhmed-te9xh]

TY man i needed this video badly to help a friend tysm

[@antebellumstage]

Needed this video. Im seriously developing an addiction

Russell Brand overcame sexual addiction, and now he’s functioning on a whole other level.

Not only sexual addiction. For me he is a hero at some level. ^^
