This is very liberating as well as educative. A brilliant article. We're all learning something everyday.

This is so true. As I age, sex remains a top part of my life and having two wonderful partners really helps. At the same time I find times of simple cuddling closeness with my np are as special as getting it on. Ditto quiet times to love the beauty of the day and that I can glory in still being in the physical world. Once I am personally settled, I can enjoy terrific passionate sex, especially with my away partner. Absence does make the heart grow fonder. I never take any thing for granted. I also have a dear friend whom I live far away from with whom I can share. All in all, very special

So reassuring and balanced. Our appetites wax and wane, and never in isolation but in response to the other 'stuff' of life. Enjoy your break, Bec.

Celibacy opens the mind and body to other things that can expand us as people. Thank you for the reminder.
