Celibacy and Vegetarianism

The process of celibacy for me seems to be the same as the one I went through for vegetarianism.

We tend to find the killing of animals disgusting. What we do then is hide ourselves from the reality and just enjoy the superficial taste. I did a similar thing. Long after beginning to finding the reality of sex disgusting I continued to satisfy myself with porn which has much of the taste without the disgusting reality.

In some ways this is a dangerous path because we begin to live in a fantasy world and forget about the real persons involved. This is exactly the myth of meat, they many people live in a fantasy meat world and are very distances from the daily slaughter of animals.

It can be good however because it is much easier to kick the habit of looking at silly pictures, than to kick the habit of finding real girls! If we can be aroused from some colours on a page or computer screen how easy to see the absurdity of the whole thing! With real girls we are encouraged to believe that there is more to sexual satisfaction that just an absurd biological impulse.

Maybe today I have finally attained celibacy, after many years of struggling with this!
