I have been wanting to talk about this subject for a long time. In this podcast episode, I tell you my journey of celibacy and how it started a spiritual journey for me and how without sex I found a new perspective on love and intimacy. I also explain and discuss the meaning of celibacy, the connotations from a religious and spiritual context, and ask you if it is possible to start thinking about celibacy as a viable option to our approach to relationships.
When I record my podcast episode, I record them with the approach of talking to you as a friend or family member. Therefore, in this podcast episode, there is some graphic language. So, please be advised. I’m talking to you like one of my friends because you are! I do hope this podcast episode stirs up conversation amongst your friends and family. I do welcome appropriate comments and emails if you have any questions. Thank you again for listening to my podcast episode!
This Here Celibacy Thang is a thought-provoking exploration of self-discipline, spiritual growth, and the complexities of human desire. Rooted in personal or cultural contexts, it often challenges societal norms by prioritizing inner transformation over fleeting physical gratification. Celibacy, as presented, is not merely abstinence but a deliberate choice to redirect energy toward emotional healing, mental clarity, or deeper connections—whether with oneself, a higher power, or others on a non-physical level. The phrase’s informal tone (thang) humanizes the concept, acknowledging its difficulty while emphasizing its potential for empowerment. It invites reflection on the relationship between body and soul, questioning whether sacrifice in one area fosters abundance in another. Critics might argue it suppresses natural instincts, yet proponents see it as a tool for reclaiming agency in a world often driven by impulse. Ultimately, This Here Celibacy Thang serves as a reminder that intentional living requires sacrifice, but the rewards—self-mastery, resilience, and perhaps a clearer sense of purpose—can be profound. It’s less about denial and more about realignment, offering a path to wholeness in a fragmented world
