I Really Did It — 5 Months of Sexual Abstinence
An ode to self-restoration. You should try it sometime
You’re probably aware of how the pandemic withheld many activities for months, and how everyone was forced to go back home for the lockdown — including the social distancing factor which many have failed to abide by. I am not one of those people, I don’t go out, I simply stay in the comfort of my home without having anything to worry about. I wear a mask when I have to and most of all, I have been away from people for the past 5 months.
That being said, I haven’t had any form of sexual and physical contact over this period of time. I would say, it feels great! Being home and having time for only myself has been uneventful (no drama), I’m simply enjoying the continuous single life that I’ve been subjected to.
These months that I’ve stayed abstinent from sex like the little catholic girl the church wants me to be, I’ve been healthy. I mean, my mental health has mostly been stable for someone who deals with constant anxiety I would say, I haven’t had any events that would shrink my self-esteem or any toxic human that would supply me with insecurities.
Maybe, you should give it a try too.
