[quote:MarkinAZ:MV8yMTg4MzYwXzM3MDMwMjAyXzkzNzBFMTAw] I found that once I was deeply in love, making love with my spouse was almost like a prayer said by both of us at the same time with our bodies as well as our minds. The possibility of creating a new life during that prayer lifted it to an all together higher plane of existence. The tenderness, the touching, the sensation of both touching her body and feeling the touch within my own body at the same time - and knowing she was experiencing the same thing - to call it amazing is a gross understatement. I've been with others since. Nothing else has ever come close. Finally decided it was too much hassle and build up only to hit that immense disappointment again. . . all the while trying to tell your partner of the moment that it was great - when you knew you were lying to yourself and to them. If you are lucky,you wind up with someone you love and you can make love with them for the rest of your days. When your bodies no longer allow you that luxury, you still have the shared memories and the love that has only grown over the decades of your life together. In the end of life, even holding the hand of one you've loved is once again like making love - this time even with a new tenderness and depth of love as you, with your touch, remind them that they were truly loved here and will be love where they are heading for as well. Our loving creator made this wonderful union between man and woman possible. Most of us fail to ever find it at all. Then some of those who do find it are too young and too ego-centric at the time to realize what they have and they let it slip away (as I did.) I decided years ago that I would rather have the precious memories of loving the way it was supposed to be - in that prayerful state where your bodies not only touch each other but when your minds also touch the hand of GOD - than some empty memories of a sad and pathetic imitation of a tryst with someone you do not love, and recall of an act together that couldn't even come close in their intensity or in the love that we felt / exchanged during the "real thing". Once, when we were done making love for a while, and we'd been holding each other a few hours as the sound of the waves pounding on the surf and the setting sun made the room cool enough that I had to get up and turn the heat on - I knew in that instant that there were no longer two people in that room, but three. I knew that my daughter had been conceived. We were in Laguna Beach CA when it happened. I asked my wife if she felt something 'different" and she said yes, she did. We talked about it and laughed a bit. Then we got dressed and had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants there that night. We flew home a few days later and my wife made an appointment with her OB/GYN. Sure enough. She was pregnant. Even though she was almost forty and I was 37, we were going to have a baby. That was 27 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Nine months later, we named out daughter JOY because she was conceived in such love and in such incredible joy. The world calls it celibacy. I don't think of it as a loss at all. I think of it as choosing to hold close something that is so precious that it probably only comes along once in a lifetime - and I was lucky enough to have had that for a while. Anything else would somehow cheapen the memories real love and of truly making love. I think of it as just using my energies where they are doing some good in this world and not destroying my memories of those precious days and nights together. [/quote]

Who think sex only for pro-creation? And do you feel like part of waking up is overcoming sex addiction? Don't be afraid to speak up. Anyone? ANy Women (celibate)? (I think celibate would mean not masturbating either)
