I haven't noticed this before. This is what is now says at the top of our board.

"Singles A forum for the support of single members or Christians with the gift of celibacy.
NOTE: This is not a dating or matchmaking service."

We should be in support of anyone who believes that this is a gift. So many people don't anymore.

So... I shouldn't post here if I am having sex? Hypothetically speaking, of course.


I just said I think we should support anyone who is able to live up to that. You have to be a very strong person to do so.

A person who had the gift of celibacy wouldn't feel the same pressure to have sex that most of us do. They would still feel pressure by society though (which is pretty high).

Yep. I've already made a few topics about my non-sex woes though. :angel:

I realize that, and kudos to them. What I meant was, if that is the title of the forum, is it only for celibate singles?

Well, I am afraid that most of us would not be here if that were the case.

I have abstained from sexual relations so far. I would like to never have sex with anyone except the person I eventually marry... although waiting to have sex until after the legal marriage isn't something I feel as strongly about.

(Admittedly it has been easier for me to abstain then some, as my options in that regards has never been with someone I loved.)
