Celibacy, Abstinence And Renewed Virginity: Why They’re Trendy
It seems dating is becoming much harder for men these days. If it weren’t bad enough to deal with all of the other complexities and hoops you’re required to leap through, you also have the added bonus of not getting any sugar after you’ve put in the time. As in: no sex, even when you’re dating someone exclusively. Many smart, sexy and successful women are choosing a life of phallic crime: celibacy, abstinence, or born-again virginity. You might have heard about it, or maybe you’ve even dated one. But for many men it’s just another irritating bridge they can’t cross, and many are choosing not to date re-virginized women.
The Terms:
Some terminology first: Celibates choose to live a life without sex. Usually ever. Abstinents are waiting for The Man They Will Marry, and refuse to date vicariously. Born-again virgins, the most popular of the movement, differ from abstinents in the way that they want a very serious relationship but on their terms only.
