celibate relationships have turned out to be more meaningful

[dennis29 (deleted)]

I choose to be celibate because it takes the pressure off me in the relationship, ive been celibate for 5 years now and have had several relationships where S-- was not involved and they were just as meaningful to me and closer.

`I agree that the relationship is more meaningful when S-- is not involved. I have been celibate for 22 years and my partner just passed away. There is not another one like him because they all want S-- before even talking to me a second time.

`In the past I have entered into relationships with women and just wanted to get to know them and they end up wanting more...I just don't feel I can give that to them. Is it too much to ask for someone's heart and soul without their body?
