Anyone else celibate and happy?

I've been celibate for about three years and I've got to say these have been the most content and relaxed three years I've had since I lost my virginity at 15.

I think I began to realise that the drama surrounding men and relationships was too much like hard work for me. I also have two DS's 8 and 11 and don't want to muck up their lives by bringing men into their lives unnecessarily. They still have a lot of involvement with their Dad so have a good male role model.

I suppose the reason I'm asking is that while having a conversation about our sex lives among recently new friends, I told them That I hadn't had sex for 3 years... My god! They looked at me in total shock and couldn't believe their ears. I think they pitied me and started saying things like " don't worry We'll get you a man" I took it in my stride though and we moved on to another topic.

It has got me thinking though, am I really in such a minority? Surely I can't be?

Must say if celibacy is the price for being single and completely independent, well I am happy to pay that price. Its better than the alternative.

Love this GetOrf, I'm going to use this when the " You still not had a shag" yet conversations come up.

Feels good to know other women feel exactly the way I do, I'm not some sort of oddity after all Grin
