I think that when you aren't part of a couple, you can go for years without being touched by another human being in any meaningful way. And that's not healthy. I was chaste for well over a decade after the breakup of the relationship I had with my son's father. I just didn't feel like I was able to make good relationship decisions, so the solution was not to have one.

There are men out there who share your values and won't pressure you for sex... you might meet them at church or online.
