At the same time, I realize that, if we all felt that way, it would be the end of man on Earth.

Well, ideally, the people who choose celibacy could spend their lives working on the problems that led to their decision. Then, the rest could marry, carry on and even absorb some improvements.
Maybe I should have been a nun.

I dont know How life as a nun would be.
I really liked to become a monk in a greek orthodox monastery or a wandering hindu saint.
I’m much religious deep down

Sir Isaac Newton died a virgin but his work was some of the most consequential, if not the most consequential work in all of human history.
I don’t know if he chose celibacy, was asexual, was bad with women, was gay, or something else, who knows, but in the science world his name always comes up when debating the greatest scientists of all time.

Where did you hear he died a virgin? Are there any biographies that indicate his personality?

I’ve read it several times on the Internet. Don’t remember the websites.
I haven’t looked into it. I just studied some of his work in Univeristy

Celibacy, the final frontier.
I never imagined doing nothing could ruin my life.
Guess we’re just watching the wheels go round and round eh?

I remember one time my sister talking about me being a wallflower. Then she told me about a movie based on a book called “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” I don’t really remember it. I think I enjoyed it. I should have asked my sister to be my wingman because she has some really beautiful friends lol. But nowadays I’m sure they’ve heard her complain about me sitting around doing nothing all day. Go figure.
I’m over 50 now and way less horny. That is a good thing in my book. Like I still love sex but not chasing it…gawd what a relevation that is… It’s not a bad thing when your older!
Really though, I think to myself I don’t have much to offer anyway. It’s not like I can say, “Yeah we can start a family in my sisters house until she kicks us out then it’s welfare and section 8 10 years after I get on the waitlist.” Not exactly a lady’s dream.
I mean what am I supposed to say? I’m a U.S. citizen now, want to live the American dream? Lol. I should have used that on the horrible things to say on a date thread.
Anyway @PinCushion don’t fret about it too much! If we’re wallflowers then we’re a damned garden.
Oh. I’m not fretting it. I can be a perky celibate.

I wonder if schizophrenia has something to do with the lovelorn. I have a feeling it does. It’s just one of those personal things for many of us? Maybe it is not true for all.
It’s like, 'Ah Juliet no longer loves me! Give me that poison!" Enter the alcohol and drugs. Also though I think maybe it is possible maybe many of us imagine our Juliet’s voice and who they’re around? Dunno.
Should our garden wither which it surely will, then hopefully they build a parking lot over it.
I think a lot of us became sz after a bf/gf break up.

Yes… I did… Not just once but both times… That I had a break up…
That’s funny. Yeah, looking back on it, that’s true. Go figure.
I’m not as intent on getting into a relationship as I used to be. Sex is just an itch. I scratch it, and it goes away.
