So, I'm seriously considering going celibate for a year. I've been considering this for some time.
To be completely honest, I'm really sick to the heart about my last relationship. I'm pretty unhappy hearing about an ex-girlfriend and the new guy she's with. I realize that I pour too much of my emotional resources into caring about sex and sexual intimacy.
I want to reassert my own self worth in other endeavors. Going celibate might boost my self-confidence. What do you guys think? (CCS, I'm pretty nervous about what you have to say.)
I think Wikipedia puts it succinctly:
P.S. It's not the Proscar.

P.S. It's not the Proscar.
