This is a gen for all /lgbt/ who have decided to remain celibate for various reasons, and give us hope that we can live happy fulfilling lives without a relationship or sex.
Hey /celgen/ why are you celibate? Is it ugliness, crippling social anxiety, your personal philosophy or other?
Discuss: How do you resist temptation when you know its against your better interest? (rejection, desire for self control, etc.)
If by celibate you mean loser who can't get laid then that's me.
But really my self esteem is far too low at the moment to pursue sex, plus I'm not very sure of my sexuality these days, I just don't wanna make an irreversible sex decision in such a confusing crippling state, so I typically ignore woman and repress homo urges.
Eh after ten years in the closet, marrying a woman and divorcing before we had kids I'm in no hurry to get involved with a man physically or romantically. I'm on a path of inward discovery and learning who I am and what that means.

how hard has it been repressing homo urges? Does this cause strange behaviours/ urges in other areas of your life to vent off steam?

Not very hard, I'm only attracted to the mythical and very unobtainable feminine male, so I don't have to deal with feeling weird around guys, sometimes I'm tempted to suck some random cl cock, but even I have enough dignity left not to stoop that low.
What's difficult for me is that I get stuck obsessing over my sexuality and how it will effect me in the future, but I want start having sex because I'm insecure, so I do nothing about it and just focus on other things.
/lgbt/ here considering celibacy for religious and philosophical reasons
theosis seems rad, and sex gets in the way of that
Nice thread OP. If my fiancee ever passed (God forbid) I would become a Catholic monk. Or a Manichee.

out of curiosity, what does your fiancee passing have to do with you becoming a monk?
I've been celibate since I started transitioning :(
But I also have herpes so I don't think I'm going to be very successful even after transitioning
>ftm with herpes
>fucking kill me
>>5175521
lots of people with herpes get into relationships
also, celibacy isn't so bad so long as its voluntary. There's lots of good reasons to remain temporarily or even permanently celibate
>>5175557
i'm a mess so it's probably better to not mix up my shit
