Question I just opened a forum for folks who are celibate. My husband and & were in a celibate marriage for 12 yrs & it was a wonderful relationship. I intend to remain celibate now that he is gone. Since I did not find many sources for people to discuss this lifestyle I started my own. If it is appropriate may I post it here??
(Though I must add the caveat that these groups tend to be geared toward and appeal to men).
With each new teacher and each new group, society regenerates more. The increase in activity concerning celibacy in the past few years has been very inspiring. Good luck with your forum!
