Celibate Thread

[Army of the Lord]

I think there should be a forum area for celibate Christian singles on here.

So it looks like you have started one!
What is it that you would like to discuss on the thread?

 

[Army of the Lord]

I would like to discuss things other then dating or relationships.

 

[Heavenhome]

That sounds good so I'll keep watching and hopefully join in

Is the intention behind this to be an area specifically for celibates or somewhere to discuss things other than dating and relationships. If the former then I think you're going to struggle to get the critical mass needed to maintain it. The Mature Singles forum doesn't get all that much traffic as most of those falling into that age group post in the Singles forum.

If it's the latter then I don't actually see why it's necessary. Looking at what are currently the first ten threads in the Singles forum, only two of them are about dating/relationships. So while those things are always going to be topics that come up, it's not as though other things aren't being discussed, and at the moment it's those other things which are being discussed more.

We are not allowed to talk about having sex outside of marriage on this forum. How would having a celibate single section be any different than what we have now? Just start thread that focus on what you want to talk about.

Start those threads.

 

[I AM CONTENT]

I totally agree.

I don't think making a separate area is necessary. We are already far too divided on this site already. This place is more cliquish than any high school could be portrayed on television. If you don't believe me, just make the mistake of letting someone around here know what you think, and someone will be along directly to correct you.

Then again, I'm content to just ignore the content that doesn't interest me and not darken the doorstep of those discussions.

a celibate thread sounds like a great idea. But there are online predators who pray on celibates and virgins, so it would attract a lot of cybercriminals.

I will post here just to keep this thread going. The original poster wanted to give a place for those that are practicing celibacy but not talking about dating and relationships.

The headline attracted me because I am one of those practicing celibacy while dating. The last comment I think could be true, but thus far even though I have stated it in my dating online profile, fortunately I have not found issues with online predators. I think in my younger years it may have, but I have not noticed it in these last couple years. Partially because my age is near 50 and second in today's dating world, it's hard to find someone who is on the same page. It's definitely acted as a filter along with stating that I cannot relocate. But I still get a good volume of responses.

I don't that would be a good idea.

Voluntary or involuntary celibate?

I am celibate voluntary all my life so far.
