Ak482, sorry to hear you are feeling some stigma with celibacy. It is really a highly personal choice. It seems like whatever you choose is a choice that is up to you. It is a refreshing change to hear of someone who is not on craigslist or match.com looking for the next fling.

It takes a person with a strong personal identity to buck some of the societal trends and proposed norms. Thank goodness that there are people like you willing to try to live up to their own expectations.
