Celibacy Jude

I am mid-forties, female, and became celibate less than two years ago. I just decided my privacy was more important to me than the pressure to conform and perform. I have always felt overcrowded in relationships anyway and sought some element of solitude. Now, having satisfied my curiosity about sex I've come to the end of that road. I get all the social contact I need, and plenty of it, in my work. I have also travelled a lot and explored the major religions and cultures. I have been most strongly inspired by the Muslims I know, who have a far more sophisticated appreciation of arts and human values than most Westerners. May I stress inspired by -my sexual status has nothing to do with religious reasons and I'm not interested in corresponding with those who brandish celibacy as a religious sword. On the contrary, I wear my celibacy as a statement; a reaction against (what I see as) bullshit. And almost no-one I know can grasp it.
