Yeah ok.

Do yo you think that I think that you are a Satanist or that I think you are going to some hell? I don't believe in hell, and I sure don't think you are a Satanist. Just saying, I am not one of those Christians who think you are going some place worse than me.
Referring to myself as "a heathen baby eating Satanic atheist" should have been your first clue that I was being tongue in cheek.

Certainly your choices are your own business. It seems though that you have not healed from your trauma (your word). You should address that because you deserve to heal. Then remain celibate or not, as you choose.

There is no way to fix the brain, there is no medicine or fix to what I have but thanks......I just gave up on explaining myself, I just think everyone should be honest and to do that, I have to go through this big talk that I just couldn't deal with any longer really. It's too hard being honest and I couldn't decieve or hurt a woman to be with her for a while and then maybe we break up because I wasn't honest, I just can't see putting all my baggage on somebody, it wouldn't be fair and when you already have two wives and kids by two wives, what could I really offer somebody especially after becoming an extreme obsessive compulsive and Bi polar, I mean, it could work but I would feel like I was taking advantage of somebody.

(I just Googled and saw some news stories).

Ah - while I got you right up front, the full explanation makes it much clearer. I have baggage too but I chose not to be alone. I was only married once but my second trauma was losing my son. Both my sons actually but the younger one was to drugs and he finally came back.

as a celibacy adherer, i was curious if there were others who adhered not only socially, but also adhered spiritually or religiously.

what is your general view celibacy?
Ive met a handful of people over the years that refrain from sex, both men and women. not really due to religion or beliefs, Its just not important or a big deal to them.

I don't think the gene pool is managing itself well at all. 60% of males are cheaters. [see Footnote 1] They will always be cheaters, and my perception is that a majority of women seem to have some bizarre compulsion to breed with jerks who will say anything to get into a woman's pants. 40% of women also cheat on their spouses, who end up raising the children. True facts I read in a scientific journal article once. Probably the statistics are worse by now. The Idiocracy is coming. (see the movie if you haven't already). But it won't survive long. I'm sure humanity won't survive more than 100 more years. I guess the people who come after will look like humans, but they'll be a new genetically engineered species, and if there are any humans left, they will live in zoos or on special reservations where they won't be allowed to possess technology. Read Brave New World. We already have the technology for editing the human genome one base pair at a time in an efficient manner. The breakthrough happened last year.

[Footnote 1]
The guys who cheat usually do it because they can never be happy with one woman. They get pleasure and excitement from sex, but they don't have the gene for the release of oxytocin during orgasm. Oxytocin is the bonding hormone that bonds some people during orgasm, and bonds mothers to their babies during childbirth. Those guys will never be faithful unless they're strongly religious. And even then, lots of people seem to think it is cool to sin as long as you ask Jesus for forgiveness later. Don't even know the meaning of Repent.
