The whole celibacy thing makes sense if you are asexual - it doesn't necessarily make sense if you are not. That's sort of like saying how much better you are as a person because you don't ever eat chocolate - well, that's really easy if you don't like chocolate. I, however, love chocolate. And sex!

I like sex just as much as chocolate, celibacy doesn't mean abstaining from sex, just means abstaining from intercourse, usually with a human partner, so my battery operated friend doesn't count.

Yeah - but the OP is celibate because he's asexual and has no desire for sex - totally different ballgame. I mean, it's not like he's giving anything up because he never wanted it in the first place!
Something is SERIOUSLY WRONG with near half of most relationships in developed countries. If we count the broken relationships (those who do not marry) and those who stay married for the sake of children and not being treated as failures the % of unhappy people in relationships seriously outmatches those who are actually happy.
The fact is there.
Now try to explain to me why does this happen.
Responses such as
SUCH IS LIFE
HUMANS ARE THAT WAY
WE ARE NOT PERFECT
S**T HAPPENS
etc.
Are not valid.
You ought to give CLEAR explanations, theories, etc. to find a solution to the problem of most relationships today.

This again? Look - you are asexual. You don't desire sex. You don't desire a relationship. We've already gone through this with you. People are not liars or bad people because their relationships ended. Relationships are just something that you will never understand - and that's okay because you have no desire to be in one. Just leave the rest of us alone to do as we wish and we'll do the same with you. Problem solved!
I love my husband - my entire life is better because of him. This is something that you will never understand or experience - and you are fine with that. So what's the big deal?
Typically, those that are comfortable with their relationship status don't give a fudge what others think and don't post lists trying to convince others they are satisfied.
However, I'm glad you are happy with your life
I actually agree with this to some extent.
But I do feel like some people shove it in others' face how 'great' their relationship/love life is and a lot of them throw little digs that are unnecessary to those that are single. Nobody blinks an eye at a thread titled: 10 best things about being married....My point is, nobody cares either way about the 200 reasons your marriage is amazing or the 200 reasons your single life is amazing.
Do you think that if I left out in my OP the "those who mock us are envious" some of you would have not mocked me at all? I doubt it. People argue here because they feel the need for it. They find entertainment mocking others' points of views, and when people do that is because of a reason.

It makes sense either way, if it's not what the person wants. Nobody is obligated to engage in sex, asexual or none.
1. No jealousy of any form
2. Economy
3. No arguments
4. Secure and safe way to avoid divorce (and all of its implications)
5. Freedom
6. Secure and safe way to not help increase overpopulation
7. No suffering, no doubts
8. Total independence (when having a job)
9. No social boundaries
10. Not necessarily staying with the status quo
Celibacy is truly a gift and those who mock/disrespect us are just envious.
Actually, you can have all of those things WITH a relationship and sex if you know what you're doing and choose a partner well.

Who mocked you? I see people refuting your OP but I don't see much mocking.
