our sexuality is an enormous part of who we are. I too believe that celibacy would not be appropriate for me. But I also acknowledge and value those who have made the conscious decision to refrain from sexual activity as part of a larger decision to witness that the material world is not all there is or that "God is enough" as some put it.

What's nice, though, is to have a relationship with one's own sexuality that provides freedom to consciously decide and take responsibility for our bodies while encouraging and enhancing the benefits of expressing that sexuality. Many of us don't, or have periods of time when we don't, have a strong positive relationship with our sexual natures, or a consciousness of the power of sexuality. So sometimes a period of chastity can provide a little perspective.

Peace.
