I hope I don't want to sound accusative in asking this, but what is the view of those who practice chastity, by the various proponents of the Sexual Revolution?

I'm planning on in engaging in a dialogue on the Catholic Church's teaching on sexual morality this coming June on here, as I believe I have a good amount of experiential knowledge about this subject. Do some people and beliefs hold (again I don't want to sound accusative) a socially or even morally condemnatory view of those who practice chastity? And on a broader, somewhat side topic, how has the MeToo Movement influenced and changed this discussion?

Their lives; their bodies; their choices. For I am convinced that neither neither church nor state should dictate what men and women shall do with their own bodies.

People can have exactly the amount of sex they want, with anyone who provides enthusiastic consent to it.

I don't think there's any good reason to deprive yourself of sex, but it's your choice.

I agree with the above....with the credo that people should protect themselves and others from unwanted pregnancy and STD’s.

And also make sure there is full consent within all parties.

Anything that any two (or more) legal adults do in private by mutual choice and mutual consent is absolutely no one else's business but their own.

I can still remember a time when, if a baby was born during the day, the parents were chastised for having conceived it during the day.

8O OMG!!  Afternoon Delight?!  Shocking!  Scandalous!

If doing it for any other reason than avoiding low quality encounters with the gender of your preference - the Hindu/Buddhist internal alchemy context probably makes the most sense.

I tried chastity recently to see what effect it had. Unfortunately, I was unable to maintain the experiment more than two weeks. The first problem was that Donald Michael Kraig's "Sex Magick" arrived from Amazon. I could have withstood his ponderous tome, but I found myself much diminished on the job.

That kind of thing is more Samael Aun Weor's wheel house.

Chastity is something I gave up in my teens; but for knowing that you haven't conceived an unwanted child or contracted an STD, it's as close to 100% certainty as you're going to get.  I don't see how chastity can be enforced, except through brainwashing, guilt-trips, and shaming those who so much as look at another person below chin-level.

Being unattractive certainly helps.

I'm not joking. I know women going through menopause who are still virgins.

If you never have an opportunity, if no one wants you, it's easy as pie.

Greatshield, I don't understand the question I'm afraid.

Do you want to know how people in general view those who practice chastity? Or why those who practice chastity do so?

I suppose you're right.  I can imagine that for every promiscuous person in a porno movie, I'm sure there is at least one other person for whom sexual intimacy is a only a vague, pastel fantasy -- like a Monet rendition of a Rubens painting.

I think the question is kind of generically looking for points on how chastity might be a bad thing and he is looking for a devil's advocate for the point he is trying to make in a speech.

There is no condemnation in chastity, just as there is no condemnation in promiscuity.  Of course, the 'sin' comes in when:

• Virginity is held in such high esteem that some fans of female celebrities will deny that their idols have had children, even though all of her children were conceived in coitus.

• A chaste daughter can command a higher bride price (e.g., 'dowery') than one whose chastity is in doubt.

• An 'honor' killing is exacted against an unwed woman for her alleged lack of virginity, even if she is raped.

• A promiscuous man is held in high esteem among his peers, especially when he 'deflowers' a virgin.

As far as the "#Me Too" era is concerned, I have no doubt that trading employment opportunities for sex still goes on, but that the practice has become more discreet. Then again, there have been reports of more incidents of landlords (male and female) demanding sex in lieu of rent since the coronavirus put people out of work.

Requires a Whole Lot of In-Person-Research to Satisfy The Hobby For Me at least; Just Finishing
The 3rd Volume of one Subchapter Epic Long Form Poem "FB Profile Pic Bible Vol 2020" Arising
to 4 MiLLioN Words in 36 Months Effort; Anniversary Date today, along with 81 Months of Public
Dancing 13,213 Miles of Public Dance in the Same 81 Months, Continuing Now Writing the 8.1 MiLLioN
Word Effort; and Oh By The Way, today is also the Celebratory 4 Year Anniversary Date of "Nether Land
Bible" Another Sub-Chapter Effort of the Entire Endeavor at 5.6 MiLLioN Words; And True Erotic Poetry
And All Stuff Lust is a Huge Biblical Interest of Mine too; as i am currently also Writing A Fully Illustrated
Erotic Poetry Novel with 6 Volumes And 112,340 Words; With Around 20,000 Photos, Fully Supporting it;
And oh by the way, Over 100,000 Photos i also took along with the use of Over 10,000 YouTube Videos
To Fully Illustrate And Accompany With Music The Entire 8.1 MiLLioN Epic Longest Long Form Poem Bible Effort;

i Can Really Really Relate to the Story Book Version of Old 'King David' In the small rather Minuscule effort
of a Bible that took Centuries and Innumerable Ghost Authors; And Scribes Unknown by Name as well to complete.

Obviously, King David And All Of His Close to Naked Dancing in Front of 'So-called Servant Girls' was Required Muse
For Him to Write those Beautiful Poetic Psalms by Archetypal Story of Course as Science Currently Shows Lust Is a

My God It is Such a Valuable And Free Natural Healing Medicine in Neurochemical And
Neurohormonal Way For Being Human; The Health Benefits truly are Pure Bliss at
Core that Keep the Human Species Creative, Productive, and Socially Cooperative as Well.

It's True; At Least when the Environment is Healthy; Most Everyone is Happy on a Bikini Beach.

Let's Just Say, i didn't Grow Up on Beaches Where Women Wore a Whole Lot of Clothes; butt on

Injected some of that Poison in me; but eventually the Snake Bite Went away and Voila Sexual
Freedom as Free as it still Loves to come for me; Now i Just Visit Church no longer raised in Ignorance.

In My Opinion, Lots of Folks go into the Priesthood for they don't fit the Social Sexual
Expectations of Home And Hometown Ways; Either, They aren't Successful in 'that way';
or Just don't like who other folks Believe they should like; according to some studies within
the Catholic Church; up to 58 Percent of Priests Are Assessed as Homosexual Leaning; It's
Kinda
Sad
That they
Cannot Be
Who they really
Are; in Short, The
Catholic Church is still ignorant

From the Bishop top to Wear Masks Delivering
Communion in a Dam Pandemic; When truly it could
Be Death in Ignorance this way for the folks most susceptible they
Serve; Butt,You See there is A Slower Way of Torture And Misery for Human

My Father's Identical Brother's Senior Quote; My Father's was "Don't Do today What You Can Put off until
tomorrow". I for one have never been one to go out and Impress the Dudes; But if i don't have a Big
Enough Special Interest; i get out of focus and kinda lazy; Anyway, i waited until Age 53 to complete

298 Dance Week Nights Just like the Random One below selected; i even Measured How Many

to go where i went first; would Love to help folks
get to REAL HEAVEN WITHIN as Science Assessed
In Autotelic Flow As Real As Heaven Gets For Human Eternally Now.

If 'Science And Religion Folks' Will get their Butts out of their Sacred Cow Terms as Concrete Forms;
Now To come to See Essence is the same Dammed Heaven thing too; oh, what a world this will be...

Don't take my Word for it; Seek and Find It Yourself Within; That the Way it's always Really Been Done For REAL.

i Feel Where Heaven is....

And Know Where it is not...

Ah right, ok. I get it. I think.

I'd think the arguments against are pretty obvious.
